The volume replacement is aimed at attaining an adequate perfussion at the cellular level and at preventing that the reperfussion be overadded to the ischemic process. This phenomenon depends mainly on the interrelation between the blood volume, the vascular tone and the functioning of the heart pump. The alteration of one of them produces different types of shock To be the most affected factor, the volume may be real and/or functional. That's why there are differences in the management of the hemodynamics in the critically ill patient. Colloids are at present an efficient option for the different cases of hypovolemia.
