Show Notes
Contributor: Nick Tsipis, MD
Educational Pearls:
- Fluid choice may have an impact on outcomes in resuscitation, and a meta-analysis has relevant insight into their use in sepsis and trauma patients
- Large volume normal saline fluid resuscitation in sepsis is associated with acute kidney injury and metabolic acidosis compared to Lactated Ringers
- Choice of fluid did not have significant differences in trauma patients for initial resuscitation
