Circulatory shock is defined as a syndrome precipitated by a systemic collapse of the perfusion, resulting in widespread cell hypoxia and multiple organ dysfunction. It is classified into hypovolemic, obstructive, cardiogenic and distributive. The point at which the management of each of them coincides is the infusion of fluids. It is important to mention that an inadequate quantity of fluids, either deficient or excessive, has deleterious effects on the patient; therefore, it is extremely important to know the principles to guide the management of shock. The aim of this review is to present in an orderly manner the goals that must be set to avoid fluid overload. To achieve this, fluid resuscitation is classified into four stages that will be reviewed in detail.
