Therapeutic assessment of crystalloid fluid resuscitation in experimental military injury.

Background: A significant part of blast injury is accompanied by hemorrhagic shock (BS), while research on its fluid resuscitation strategies have not been reported. Although blood products are usually recommended in most resuscitation cases, they are less available in certain conditions. To this end, here, we focused on a widely used and more accessible fluid type- crystalloid fluid, in BS treatment.

Comparison of blast lung injury in infant and adult rabbits.
