Comparative characteristics of liberal and restrictive fluid resuscitation in multiple trauma.

Restrictive versus Liberal Fluid Resuscitation in Children with Dengue Shock Syndrome: the differences in Clinical Outcomes and Hemodynamic Parameters

Background: Fluid resuscitation is the mainstay of treatment to counteract massive plasma leakage in dengue shock syndrome. We aimed to determine the differences in clinical outcomes and hemodynamic parameters of children with dengue shock syndrome post restrictive and liberal fluid resuscitation.  Materials and Methods: A retrospective observational study of pediatric patients who were betwee...

Fluid resuscitation in trauma

Appropriate fluid replacement is an essential component of trauma fluid resuscitation. Once he orrhage is controlled, restoration of normovolemia is a priority. In the presence of uncontrolled haemorrhage, aggressive fluid management may be harmful. The crystalloid-colloid debate continues but existing clinical practice is more likely to reflect local biases rather than evidence based medicine....

Restrictive and liberal fluid administration in major abdominal surgery

OBJECTIVES To determine whether perioperative fluid restrictive administration can reduce specific postoperative complications in adults undergoing major abdominal surgery.  Methods: We searched the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Google scholar, and article reference lists (up to December 2015) for studies that assessed fluid therapy and morbidity or mortal...

Fluid Choice for Resuscitation in Trauma

The “ideal” fluid replacement regimen in trauma patients is still discussed controversially. Aside from blood, several nonblood alternatives—including crystalloids, hypertonic solutions, albumin, and nonprotein (synthetic) colloids—are available to correct hypovolemia in the trauma patient. Interpretation of the literature is difficult because of variations in study design, patient population, ...
