Prehospital vätskebehandling vid stort trauma ur en sjuksköterskas perspektiv
En systematisk litteraturstudie
The aim of this study was to determine which type of fluid to use in trauma care to improve patient survival. The method used was a systematic review, where a total of 18 studies were reviewed and 13 included in the results. The inclusion criteria used in this study were Randomized controlled trial, or studies relevant for the purpose, written in English and published during the last ten years. The studies were identified in the PubMed data base. The results showed that in trauma with hypovolaemia, colloid infusion has a better effect than infusion of crystalloid fluid on blood pressure and colloid infusion reduced the body's cascade systems in a beneficial way. Colloid infusion administered to head injury patients lowered their intracranial pressure more than crystalloid infusion. In conclusion, the studies reviewed showed that colloid infusion resulted in a longer beneficial effect on blood pressure and trauma response at lesser volumes administered than crystalloids. Colloids could therefore be recommended as the first choice in the initial care of trauma patients.
