Colloid and crystalloid resuscitation.
Use of colloid and crystalloid fluids during resuscitation can be a complicated process. An understanding by the veterinarian of the patient's cardiovascular state, the underlying pathologic process, and the characteristics of crystalloid and colloid fluids available is necessary for establishing a fluid therapy plan. Through frequent reassessment and tailoring of the fluid plan according to the patient's response, the risks of fluid overload and fluid deficiency are reduced.
