Comparative StudyHypertonic saline and hemorrhagic shock: hepatocellular function and integrity after six hours of treatment.
The comparison after 6 h of hemorrhagic shock (HS) treatment with NaCl 7.5% (Hypertonic Saline Solution-SSH) or Ringer Lactate (RL) on liver function and integrity. ⋯ Resuscitation of HS with NaCl 7.5% promoted better recovery of liver function and lesser hepatocellular damage after 6 h of treatment compared to RL. The improvement is very likely related to increased microvascular perfusion provided by small volume resuscitation.
