Crystalloid resuscitation is associated with decreased treatment delays and improved systolic blood pressures in a blood-constrained setting by Melissa Carvalho, Alain Chichom-Mefire, Catherine Juillard, S Ariane Christie, Rasheedat Oke, Thompson Kinge, Jean-Gustave Tsiagadigui, Mbiarikai A Mbianyor, Mark T Yost, Matt Driban, Fanny Nadia Dissak Delon, Richard Njock, Daniel Nkusu

“…Median time to treatment was lower for CB than BL (12 vs 131 min, p<0.01). Multivariate logistic regression adjusted for injury severity found no association between resuscitation type and mortality (CB adjusted OR (aOR) 1.28, p=0.82; BL aOR 1.05, p=0.97).Conclusions CB was associated with faster treatment, greater SBP elevation, and similar survival compared with BL in Cameroonian patients with trauma with hemorrhagic shock. …”
