Short-term effects of low-volume resuscitation with hypertonic saline and hydroxyethylstarch in an experimental model of lung contusion and haemorrhagic shock

In this pig model of lung contusion, the short-term assessment of fluid resuscitation after haemorrhagic shock with 4 ml/kg of HS/HES showed that pulmonary oedema was avoided compared to fluid resuscitation with 10 ml/kg of NS.
