    AbstractThe resuscitation of an adult trauma patient has been researched and written about for the past century. Throughout those discussions, 2 major controversies persist when discussing resuscitation methods: (1) the ideal choice of fluid type to use during the initial resuscitation period, and (2) the ideal fluid volume to infuse during the initial resuscitation period. This article presents a brief historical perspective of fluids used during a trauma resuscitation, along with the latest research findings as they relate to the 2 stated issues.Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc.
