In theory: Faster IV volume expansion / Longer retention in IV space / Less infused volume. However a) To create significant oncotic pressure gradient must have Colloid MW / Concentration / t½ b) Degree of volume expansion with colloids is modestly greater than crystalloids (1.3 : 1) c) IV space expansion by crystalloids in hypovolemia is greater than that achieved in health d) e) In acute volume loss or redistribution, low hydrostatic pressure prolongs filling effect of crystalloids Compromised ESL increases capillary permeability allowing colloid leakage into interstitium So colloid retention in IV space may not be greater than crystalloid Colloids leakage into interstitium reduces oncotic pressure gradient facilitating fluid extravasation Continuous movement of water from IC to EC spaces can cause cellular dehydration Colloids are expensive & have a short shelf life 1- Hydroxyethyl Starch (HES) 1) Not better in short-term hemodynamic resuscitation endpoints except CVP 2) Higher Mortality / AKI & KRT rates esp with higher MW & higher molecular substitution 3) Higher substitution may make HES accumulate in skin / spleen / liver / kidneys EMA – PRAC / ESICM / Surviving Sepsis Campaign / FDA recommends avoiding HES Perner et al.

Albumin is not superior to crystalloids in terms of mortality or organ dysfunction (1,4,5) Surviving sepsis suggest restricting albumin to pts who have received large volume of crystalloids Hyperoncotic albumin may be better in terms of mortality & AKI (12) Weak evidence suggesting a potential mortality benefit in pts with sepsis B.

Albumin in combination with vasoconstrictors helps manage HRS & improves survival in HRS type 1 Lack of GFR improvement post volume expansion with albumin & diuretic D/C aid in HRS diagnosis ii.

E. F. Albumin with lasix better than lasix alone in hypoalbuminemic pts with ALI / ARDS Improve diuresis / Weight / O2 Sat / HR While maintaining BP - MAP & GFR (8) Albumin (& Colloids) may increase ICP in traumatic brain Injury increasing mortality Colloids are hypo-osmolar compared to plasma increasing the risk of brain edema (9, 10, 11) Treating albumin per se does not improve outcome esp if baseline >20 or Achieved level <30(1, 4) 1- Caironi et al.

IV Fluids are IV Drugs so c onsider Type / Volume / Rate / Indications / Contraindications / AE / Cost Resuscitation is a component of a complex physiological process I. II. III. 3. Identify the fluid that is most likely to be lost & replace it with equivalent volume No clearly superior fluid in a heterogeneous population of critically ill pts in terms of mortality Consider serum Na / Osmolality / Acid-base Status when selecting a resuscitation fluid Fluid needs change over time in critically ill pt so monitor cumulative fluid balance & changes in weight Excessive IV fluid infusion leads to interstitial edema which is associated with adverse outcome Different categories of pts require different specific considerations Isotonic balanced solutions should be considered as initial resuscitation fluid for most acutely ill pts Is it time to reconsider NS as the default fluid of choice? II. Consider saline as initial resuscitation fluid for hypovolemia with metabolic alkalosis III. Use isotonic crystalloids (Balanced / Unbalanced) & avoid colloids for pts with traumatic brain injury IV. Consider albumin use during the early phase of resuscitation for pts with severe sepsis / septic shock V. Avoid HES / Gelatin / Dextran for acute resuscitation esp in pts with severe sepsis or AKI / Risk of AKI VI. Safety of hypertonic saline has not been well established I. 4. 5.
