Adequate and balanced fluid resuscitation is one of the cornerstones of intraoperative patient management. Over-resuscitation leading to positive fluid balance is associated with increased postoperative mortality and morbidity. Invasive and non-invasive technologies can be used for the adequacy of intraoperative fluid therapy. Lung ultrasonography (LUS) is a safe and accurate bedside imaging method. LUS, which is frequently used in the diagnosis of postoperative hypoxemia, has also begun to be preferred for fluid management in intensive care units.
