Abstract

Adequate Fluid and electrolyte balance in trauma patients is a task with complex decisions that are often
complicated by coagulopathy and blood loss. An adequate volume of blood in the circulation is essential to
maintain cerebral perfusion and vital function of the heart, kidneys, lungs, and other organs. Acute blood
loss has been identified as one of the major causes of preventable deaths on arrival at hospital. The aim
of fluid resuscitation should be to restore critical organ perfusion. This review discusses the availability
of various options of Intravenous fluids and their co-relation with body’s demand in fluid management of
trauma patients.

Keywords: Fluid and electrolyte balance, Haemorrhage, Shock, Trauma.
