PRINCIPLES AND PROTOCOLS FOR
INTRAVENOUS FLUID THERAPY
• 1. Fluid resuscitation
• 2. Routine maintenance
• 3. Replacement
• 4. Redistribution
1. FLUID RESUSCITATION
• Loss of intravascular volume
• Bleeding
• Plasma loss
• Excessive Fluid and Electrolyte loss
• External: GI severe disease
• Internal: Sepsis
National Clinical Guideline Centre (UK). Intravenous Fluid Therapy: Intravenous Fluid Therapy in Adults in Hospital
[Internet]. London: Royal College of Physicians (UK); 2013 Dec. (NICE Clinical Guidelines, No. 174.)
2. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
National Clinical Guideline Centre (UK). Intravenous Fluid Therapy: Intravenous Fluid Therapy in Adults in Hospital
[Internet]. London: Royal College of Physicians (UK); 2013 Dec. (NICE Clinical Guidelines, No. 174.)
3. REPLACEMENT
• These losses are usually from the GI or urinary tract, although high
insensible losses occur with fever, and burns patients can lose high
volumes of what is effectively plasma
National Clinical Guideline Centre (UK). Intravenous Fluid Therapy: Intravenous Fluid Therapy in Adults in Hospital
[Internet]. London: Royal College of Physicians (UK); 2013 Dec. (NICE Clinical Guidelines, No. 174.)
4. REDISTRIBUTION
• In addition to external fluid and electrolyte losses, some hospital
patients have marked internal fluid distribution changes or abnormal
fluid handling
• Seen particularly in those who are septic, otherwise critically ill, post-
major surgery or those with major cardiac, liver or renal co-morbidity

RESUSCITATION
• For patients who are obese, adjust the IV fluid prescription to their
ideal body weight.
REPLACEMENT AND REDISTRIBUTION
• Adjust the IV prescription (add to or subtract from maintenance needs) to
account for existing fluid and/or electrolyte deficits or excesses, ongoing losses
or abnormal distribution
• Seek expert help if patients have a complex fluid and/or electrolyte redistribution
issue or imbalance, or significant comorbidity, for example:
• gross oedema
• severe sepsis
• hyponatraemia or hypernatraemia
• renal, liver and/or cardiac impairment
• post-operative fluid retention and redistribution
• malnourished and refeeding issues

TRANSFUSION IN TRAUMA
• The foremost reason of death among 1-40 years old is traumatic
injury, with an estimate of five million deaths per year globally
among which an estimated 10-20% of deaths are preventable
Como JJ, Dutton RP, Scalea TM, Edelman BB, Hess JR. Blood transfusion rates in the care of acute trauma.
Transfusion. 2004;44:809–13
FIBRINOGENS
• Thousand milligrams (mg) of fibrinogen are present in a unit of
whole blood, so the loss of one unit of whole blood, dissipates 1000
mg of fibrinogen.
Holcomb JB. Optimal use of blood products in severely injured trauma patients. Hematology Am Soc Hematol Educ
Program 2010. 2010:465–9
FIBRINOGENS
• One unit of cryoprecipitate contains 0.25 g of fibrinogen, and this
ratio can be obtained by transfusing cryoprecipitate: PRBC in a 1:1
ratio.

relationship to red blood cell products transfused improves mortality in trauma patients. Transfusion. 2010;50:493 –500
PLATELETS
• Perkins et al. focused on platelet to PRBCs ratios in military trauma,
and observed improved 24-h and 30-days survival rates in a high-
ratio group which received approximately 1:1 platelets to PRBCs in
comparison to other groups

apheresis platelets used in the setting of massively transfused trauma patients. J Trauma. 2009;66:S77 –84.
WARM FRESH WHOLE BLOOD
• Warm fresh whole blood (WFWB) transfusion of 500 ml carries a
decent haematocrit level and no storage deficits.
Armand R, Hess JR. Treating coagulopathy in trauma patients. Transfus Med Rev. 2003;17:223 –31
DAMAGE CONTROL RESUSCITATION
• Early definitive haemorrhage control
• Early and increased use of 1:1:1 FFP, PRBC and platelets, and
minimising crystalloids
• Avoiding hypothermia, acidosis and coagulopathy
• Hypotensive resuscitation strategies
• Use of other products like Ca2+, rFVII, tranexamic acid, and tris-
hydroxymethyl aminomethane should be deliberated.

SUMMARY
• In a trauma patient with life-threatening injuries, early identification
of coagulopathy and treating it in 1:1:1 ratio, with thawed plasma,
PRBCs, and platelets, limited use of crystalloids and rapid
haemorrhage control will improve their survival.
