Resuscitation Fluids

N Engl J Med 2013;369:1243-51.

The Ideal Resuscitation Fluid
  • produces a predictable and sustained increase in intravascular volume
  • has a chemical composition as close as possible to that of extracellular fluid
  • is metabolized and completely excreted without accumulation in tissues
  • does not produce adverse metabolic or systemic effects
  • is cost-effective in terms of improving patient outcomes
  • Currently, there is no such fluid available for clinical use
  • colloid solutions: more effective in expanding intravascular volume
  • 1:3 ratio of colloids to crystalloids to maintain intravascular volume
  • semisynthetic colloids have a shorter duration of effect than human albumin solutions
  • crystalloids: resuscitation fluids

Specific Considerations Apply To Different Categories Of Patients
  1. Bleeding patients require control of hemorrhage and transfusion with red cells and blood components as indicated.
  2. Isotonic, balanced salt solutions are a pragmatic initial resuscitation fluid for the majority of acutely ill patients.
  3. Consider saline in patients with hypovolemia and alkalosis.
  4. Consider albumin during the early resuscitation of patients with severe sepsis.
  5. Saline or isotonic crystalloids are indicated in patients with traumatic brain injury.
  6. Albumin is not indicated in patients with traumatic brain injury.
  7. Hydroxyethyl starch is not indicated in patients with sepsis or those at risk for acute kidney injury.
  8. The safety of other semisynthetic colloids has not been established, so the use of these solutions is not recommended.
  9. The safety of hypertonic saline has not been established.
  10. The appropriate type and dose of resuscitation fluid in patients with burns has not been determined.

【摘要小結】
  • Colloid 與 crystalloid solution 兩種復甦溶液對於升壓的效果並無差異。
  • Albumin 是Colloid 代表溶液,其價格限制了其使用性。Albumin 使用在大部分急重症病患復甦是安全的,特別是嚴重敗血症患者的早期復甦。然而創傷性腦損傷的病患,Albumin 使用會增加死亡率。
  • ICU 病患使用Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 會增加急性腎傷害及洗腎的風險!
