"2 Liters bolus at the start for a fluid challenge"

"Fill the tank with whatever fluid you have"

For years, this was gospel in trauma teaching and practice. Unfortunately, the dogma is still evident in dangerous practice patterns.

If you've spent anytime on this platform and our community, you know that I preach the antithesis of this concept.

BLEEDING TRAUMA PATIENTS:
#1 fluid of choice = WHOLE BLOOD (warm/fresh, fresh-frozen).
#2 is component therapy *see my prior massive transfusion posts.

CRYSTALLOIDS: includes Saline, LR (lactated ringers), Plasmalyte
1. Worsens acidosis (hyperchloremic with large volumes of NS) and worsens metabolic acidosis
2. No oxygen carrying capacity
3. Hemodylution
4. No clotting factors
5. Increases base deficit
6. Increased risk of multiorgan failure
7. Increased risk of wound infection
8. Increased risk of wound dehiscence
9. Risk of hypothermia if at room temp

BOTTOM LINE: INCREASED RISK OF DEATH WITH LARGE CRYSTALLOID INFUSION WITH HEMORRHAGING TRAUMA

NOTE: exacerbates "LETHAL TRIAD"
A) COAGULOPATHY
B) ACIDOSIS
C) HYPOTHERMIA

EXCEPTIONS:
1. Burn patients NOT BLEEDING need appropriate cyrstaloid resuscitation (Rule of 10s)
2. Non-bleeding patients (head trauma for example) need specific fluids like hypertonic 3%.

PLEASE LIMIT CRYSTALLOID IN CRITICALLY INJURED BLEEDING TRAUMA PATIENT!
