Hemorrhage, Shock, and Fluid Resuscitation

Advances in fluid resuscitation of hemorrhagic shock.

The optimal fluid for resuscitation in hemorrhagic shock would combine the volume expansion and oxygen-carrying capacity of blood without the need for cross-matching or the risk of disease transmission. Although the ideal fluid has yet to be discovered, current options are discussed in this review, including crystalloids, colloids, blood and blood substitutes. The future role of blood substitut...

Fluid resuscitation therapy for hemorrhagic shock.

Hemorrhagic shock is a severe life-threatening emergency affecting all organ systems of the body by depriving tissue of sufficient oxygen and nutrients by decreasing cardiac output. This article is a short review of the different types of shock, followed by information specifically referring to hemorrhagic shock. The American College of Surgeons categorized shock into 4 classes: (1) distributiv...

Delayed fluid resuscitation of head injury and uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of delayed vs early fluid resuscitation on cerebral hemodynamics after severe head injury and uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock. DESIGN Prospective, randomized, controlled experimental trial. SETTING Surgical research laboratory. PARTICIPANTS Immature swine (N=16) weighing 40 to 50 kg. INTERVENTIONS Twelve swine were subjected to cryogenic brain lesion and...
