    BackgroundThe role of rate and volume of infusion in survival from experimental uncontrolled hemorrhage was evaluated.MethodsHemorrhage was initiated using tail resection in 43 female rats assigned to the following five groups: nonresuscitated; resuscitated with moderate volume, slower rate; resuscitated with moderate volume, faster rate; resuscitated with high volume, slower rate; and resuscitated with high volume, faster rate.ResultsA trend toward improved survival was noted with faster rate of infusion (60 vs. 33.3% survival rate with moderate volume and 28.6 vs. 12.5% with high volume, compared with 16.7% in the nonresuscitated animals).ConclusionRapid infusion of moderate volume of isotonic saline improved survival in uncontrolled hemorrhage. Extreme volumes, infused rapidly, also resulted in higher survival rates compared with those observed in nonresuscitated rats.
