Contraindications

• It is not a complete contraindication, but a more important consideration could be the use of Ringer’s Lactate in patients suffering from liver disease.
• The majority of the lactate is processed in the liver and any hepatic disorder will cause an increase in lactate.
• This could cause confusion in the interpretation of the lactate levels.
• In the case of acute conditions patients suffering from cerebral edema who require osmotic treatment must avoid hypotonic or isotonic liquid such as Ringer’s lactate.
• The aim of the therapy is to remove the parenchyma in the brain by administering hypertonic fluid.
• While studies have evaluated two treatments, a single study examined the effects of traditional fluid resuscitation with hypertonic saline for hypotensive patients who have suffered trauma to the brain in the prehospital situation.
