"Permissiove hypotension is for the patient with non-compressible bleeding"- 
well, that's preety clear,but I was intrested to hear about the approach to 
post operative fluid treatment from the same people practice "permissive 
hypotension", since they do have a diffrent theoretical (as I see it) 
approach to the whole concept of fluid resusscitation and it's golas. So,  
"give what you have" sounds rather odd to me- if "what I have" is LR/NS 
you're risking in blood dilution and interstitial edema, if "what I have" is 
colloids than it's just no good, and "if what I have" is packed RBC and 
other blood components, well we don't have too much of it so we don't just 
give it to everyone, don't we?
