244 February 2013 I N 1831 during the European cholera epidemic, Latta1 was the first to report on a patient who was successfully resuscitated with intravenous fluids. He injected 60 ounces of warm saline intravenously to a pulseless cholera patient. According to the author’s report, on receiving the fluid resuscitation, every symptom of cholera was removed. About 80 yr later, fluid resuscitati...

OBJECTIVE To assess whether resuscitation with albumin-containing solutions, compared with other fluids, is associated with lower mortality in patients with sepsis. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases, the metaRegister of Controlled Trials, and the Medical Editors Trial Amnesty Register. STUDY SELECTION Prospective randomized clinical t...

INTRODUCTION Fluid resuscitation is an indispensable procedure in the acute management of hemorrhagic shock for restoring tissue perfusion, particularly microcirculation in splanchnic organs. Resuscitation fluids include crystalloids, hypertonic saline (HTS), and synthetic colloids, and their selection affects the recovery of microcirculatory blood flow and reactive oxygen species (ROS) formati...

At the moment, adequate fluid resuscitation, pain control and organ support represent the cornerstones of treatment for acute pancreatitis, especially for the severe forms of the disease [1]. Regarding fluid resuscitation in severe acute pancreatitis, the following questions should be answered: 1.What is the adequate volume of fluid to be administered and when should it be administered? 2. What...

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 is a fundamental intervention in the treatment of critically ill patients. However, there is little conclusive evidence to guide clinicians about the best type of resuscitation fluid; the appropriate timing, volume, and rate of fluid administration; and the optimal way to adequately monitor the efficacy and safety of fluid resuscitation in various clinical conditions.1 Altho...

Title of thesis: CLOSED-LOOP FLUID RESUSCITATION: INSILICO STUDY Jonathan Cary Lucas V, Master of Science, 2015 Thesis directed by: Dr. Jin-Oh Hahn Department of Mechanical Engineering This thesis validates a control-oriented model of human circulatory dynamics associated with hemorrhage and fluid resuscitation, uses this model to design a series of closed-loop controllers for fluid resuscitati...

odern resuscitation has changed since the advent of goaldirected therapy. Today, practitioners providing fluid resuscitation are cognizant of the danger associated with volume depletion while being aware of the morbidity of volume overload.1 Thus, fluid resuscitation must be rapid, precise, and individually tailored to each patient based on reliable data.2 Critically ill patients have a mixture...

Background: The neonate's Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the most important and common emergency condition in the delivery room. Approximately 10% of newborns are unable to initiate effective breathing and require assistance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of CPR levels of the neonates delivered during a year in Moheb Yas Hospital who were resuscitated. Methods: Th...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Fluid resuscitation in trauma patients could reduce organ failure, until blood components are available and hemorrhage is controlled. However, the ideal fluid resuscitation strategy in trauma patients remains a debated topic. Different types of trauma can require different types of fluids and different volume of infusion. RECENT FINDINGS There are few randomized controlled t...
