Crystalloid fluids, a subset of intravenous (IV) fluid solutions are commonly used in clinical settings. The influence of these fluids on the functions of blood components are least explored. Raman spectroscopy combined with optical trapping has been widely used to evaluate the impact of external stress agents on red blood cells. The present study investigates the impact of commonly used crystalloid fluids on red blood cells in comparison with that of blood plasma using Raman Tweezers spectroscopy. The red blood cells suspended in crystalloid fluids undergo deoxygenation readily than that in blood plasma. In addition, cells in blood plasma were able to withstand laser induced deoxygenation comparatively better than that in crystalloid fluids at higher laser powers. Principle component analysis of the Raman spectral data has clearly demonstrated the discrimination of cells in plasma with that of crystalloid fluids demonstrating the effect of external induced stress on RBCs.

Objective: To assess the impact of mild hypothermia on the distribution and elimination of an IV crystalloid fluid bolus in healthy anesthetized cats using volume kinetic (VK) analysis.
Methods: 10 adult cats were anesthetized and included in a prospective, randomized, cross-over study. The subjects were maintained either normothermic (38.

Background: The clinical outcome and fluid balance of patients with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) or after extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) may be improved by addressing the high fluid demand with an early albumin administration.
Methods: In this prospective observational study, patients supported with VA ECMO or eCPR received early albumin administration (25 g/L) to prime the VA ECMO system. These patients were compared to patients who received a regimen based solely on balanced crystalloids (crystalloid group) or a regimen based on a 1:4 volume mixture of albumin (10 g/L) and balanced crystalloids (albumin group).

Purpose: We compared the immediate and sustained effects of 500 mL of crystalloid administered at slow (333 mL/h) versus fast rates (999 mL/h) on mean arterial pressure (MAP) in critically ill patients.
Materials And Methods: Hemodynamic variables were collected immediately before and every 30 min up to 60 min after the end of the infusion. The primary outcome was the adjusted difference in MAP.

Coingestion of cardiovascular drugs with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) can be associated with refractory shock derangements complicated by vasopressor resistance, prompting the use of novel, unconventional, or uncommonly used agents. A young adult male presented to the emergency department (ED) 10 h after ingesting lisinopril and amlodipine. On arrival, he was hypotensive with a blood pressure of 72/39 mmHg.

Background Globally, dengue fever (DF) is the leading cause of arthropod-borne viral illness, which considerably contributes to an atrocious death rate. The disease is now endemic in some parts of the world, including Bangladesh. The disorder exhibits a wide range of clinical and laboratory features in children.
