Abstract
Fluid therapy is an important component of resuscitation and treatment of critically ill equine patients. However, the decision of which fluid type to use in certain critical situations is somewhat controversial. This article focuses on the potential benefits of performing small-volume resuscitation in critically ill horses by combining hypertonic saline with a colloid (e.g., hetastarch).
