RESUSCITATION FLUID
For severe dehydration, sepsis or haemorrhage leading to
hypovolaemia and hypotension. For urgent resuscitation
use Hartmanns, PlasmaLyte 148 or colloid (gelatin/
albumin). Hartmanns and PL148 are balanced
electrolyte solutions and are better handled by the body
than 0.9%NaCl. See Fluid Challenge Algorithm below.
Priorities: Stop the bleeding: consider surgery/endoscopy.
Treat sepsis. CALL FOR HELP!
For severe blood loss initially use colloid or Hartmanns/
PL148 until blood/clotting factors arrive. Use
O Negative blood for torrential bleeding. Severely septic
patients with circulatory collapse may need inotropic
support in a critical care area. Their blood pressure may
not respond to large volumes of fluid; excess volumes may
be detrimental.
