Abstract

Administration of intravenous fluid is considered a standard of care in pre-hospital settings. Despite this, the debate about the use of crystalloids or colloids is still open. Hypertonic saline solutions can be useful in case of man-made or natural disaster because of their low costs, ease of storage and because they make it possible to expand plasma volume rapidly.
