Abstract
Prehospital administration of intravenous (i.v.) fluids is used by most emergency staff working with trauma patients. The liberal use of crystalloids adopted in the advanced trauma life support (ATLS) programme is usually also practiced in the prehospital setting. Despite several large studies, however, there is no conclusive evidence that prehospital fluid administration reduces morbidity or mortality. This concept of aggressive standardized fluid administation has historical instead of scientific reasons.
