Fluid resuscitation state of the science for treating combat casualties and civilian injuries

The challenges associated with immediate resuscitation of the wounded soldier are daunting and often unappreciated by civilian medical personnel. When you consider that field medics frequently work in less than friendly field conditions, exposed to the elements, while carrying only limited medical g...
