Fluid Resuscitation and Base Deficits Monitoring in Traumatic Shock

Objective To investigate the fluid resuscitation methods and the changes of arterial base deficits in the traumatic shock patients. Methods A retrospective review of 66 traumatic shock patients were performed during fluid resuscitation, the BD changes were observed, the relationship of BD and prognosis in survivals and deaths were analyzed. Results Within 48h after fluid resuscitation of traumatic shock, the BD value improved gradually. The difference between survivals and non-survivals was significant at 6 to 12h(P0.05). The incidence of the shock-related complications in non-survivals was higher than in survivals. Conclusion BD can be one of monitor index for the fluid resuscitation of traumatic shock. Fluid resuscitation can improve low circulation of traumatic shock. Low value of BD at 6 to 12h after the fluid resuscitation means poor prognosis.
