Randomized Controlled TrialHypertonic saline 5% vs. lactated ringer for resuscitating patients in hemorrhagic shock.
Though hypertonic and isotonic crystalloids are used nowadays in resuscitating patients in hemorrhagic shock, yet there is no sufficient data in support of either. The aim of this study was to compare the hemodynamic effects of hypertonic saline 5% and lactated ringer solutions when used for the resuscitation of patients in hemorrhagic shock. ⋯ Both hyper and isotonic crystalloid solutions can improve hemodynamic status and the blood gas measurements, similarly; however, lactated ringer is a more potent solution in improving tissue oxygenation.
