Comparative StudyComparison of isotonic and hypertonic fluids in resuscitation from hypovolemic shock.
Hypertonic electrolyte solutions provide effective fluids for resuscitation of burn patients and concurrent replacement of hemorrhage. Infusion of mannitol has also been advocated as a means of increasing cardiac output in acutely ill patients. ⋯ RL and HSL restored and maintained cardiac output more effectively than HMR. At 24 hours, HSL maintained blood pressure most effectively.
