The surgical service of a teaching hospital presents an unique opportunity for the study of the physiological and pathological response of individuals to alterations in circulating blood volume. Surgeons are frequently confronted with problems relating to the management of dehydration, massive hemorrhage, thermal and mechanical trauma and the preparation of elderly, malnourished, chronically ill patients for major operative procedures. The hemodynamic response of patients to anaesthesia and operation is an important factor determining operative mortality and morbidity rates.
