چکیده

Volume replacement therapy is crucial to the treatment of hypovolemic shock. In patients with certain conditions, limiting the volume of fluid administered has many potential therapeutic benefits and technical advantages. Hypertonic saline and colloids have characteristics that allow effective treatment of hypovolemic shock using relatively smaller volumes than would be required for isotonic crystalloids alone. This article describes the theory and clinical application of limited fluid volume resuscitation in veterinary medicine.

Detecting volume responsiveness and unresponsiveness in intensive care unit patients: two different problems, only one solution

Policies of fluid administration/restriction in critically ill patients have evolved over recent years. Abundant fluid resuscitation is encouraged during the early stage of severe sepsis. But a conservative fluid strategy is recommended in later stages, in particular when lungs are injured. Both strategies are risky if uncontrolled. Tests detecting volume unresponsiveness at any moment of fluid...

Fluid resuscitation and vasopressors in severe trauma patients.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW To discuss the fluid resuscitation and the vasopressor support in severe trauma patients. RECENT FINDINGS A critical point is to prevent a potential increase in bleeding by an overly aggressive resuscitative strategy. Indeed, large-volume fluid replacement may promote coagulopathy by diluting coagulation factors. Moreover, an excessive level of mean arterial pressure may ind...

Effect of early fluid resuscitation on the lung in a rat model of lipopolysaccharide-induced septic shock.

BACKGROUND Many clinical trials have showed that early fluid resuscitation can improve the prognosis and reduce the mortality rate of patients with septic shock. However, some experiments suggest that abundant fluid may injure the lung and other tissues. AIM To evaluate the protective effect of early fluid resuscitation and simultaneous norepinephrine treatment on lung function by using the r...

Initial fluid resuscitation of patients with septic shock in the intensive care unit.

BACKGROUND Fluid is the mainstay of resuscitation of patients with septic shock, but the optimal composition and volume are unknown. Our aim was to evaluate the current initial fluid resuscitation practice in patients with septic shock in the intensive care unit (ICU) and patient characteristics and outcome associated with fluid volume. METHODS This was a prospective, cohort study of all pati...
