El cólico de origen gastrointestinal es una patología muy frecuente en la práctica de la clínica equina. Independientemente del origen del dolor, estos animales suelen presentar grados variables de deshidratación, hipovolemia, alteraciones del equilibro electrolítico y ácido-base, lo que hace que la planificación de la fluidoterapia y su monitorización resulten a veces un verdadero desafío para el veterinario. En ciertos tipos de cólico la sobrehidratación constituye una parte fundamental del tratamiento. Confrontado a este tipo de casos, el veterinario debe decidir si un animal necesita o no fluidoterapia, y en caso afirmativo decidir la vía de administración, escoger el tipo de fluidos más adecuado y calcular el volumen y velocidad de administración. También deberá planear un seguimiento que le permita monitorizar los efectos de su fluidoterapia y detectar la necesidad de modificarla. Este artículo intenta abordar de una manera práctica los pasos a seguir para evaluar, planificar y monitorizar convenientemente la fluidoterapia en caballos con cólico.
