Choice of resuscitation fluid depends on the cause of the deficit. Loss of red blood cells diminishes oxygen-carrying capacity. However, the body increases cardiac output to
maintain oxygen delivery [DO2] and increases oxygen extraction. These factors provide a safety margin of about 9 times the resting oxygen requirement. Thus, non–oxygen-carrying fluids [eg, crystalloid or colloid solutions] may be used to restore intravascular volume in mild to moderate blood loss. However, in severe hemorrhagic shock,

A ratio of 1 unit of plasma for each 1 unit of red blood cells and each 1 unit of
