Dear List Members,

A new partner has joined our trauma team and she has
great faith in Hypertonic saline, not only for
resuscitation, but also for regular maintenance fluid
for patients with head injuries as well as for all
sorts of other critically ill surgical patients.  

I have not been able to find any hard data on this and
I and my other partners are having a difficult time
accepting this management.  

Any comments, education, references would be highly
appreciated. 

Thank you

Sanjay Gupta
