AbstractIntravenous fluid therapy for hemorrhagic shock has undergone enormous changes since it was first conducted almost 200 years ago. In the past 40 years especially, practices have dramatically changed with regards to fluid resuscitation. In pre-hospital, combat, austere, and rural emergency medicine the stakes are especially high to deliver an effective and logical resuscitation fluid strategy to a patient that is suffering from hemorrhagic shock. This article follows a prior article published in July 2014. It highlights the development of new cutting edge intravenous therapy regimens that maximize hemodynamic outcomes that can be effected by those providers that care for injured patients without the benefit of ample resources.Copyright © 2017.
