Yet, there are many other crystalloid and colloid fluids available to us as veterinarians that may be appropriate to use in specific circumstances. This session will review key features of fluids such as 0.45% NaCl, D5W, 0.9% NaCl, isotonic bicarbonate, hypertonic saline, albumin containing fluids, and synthetic colloids, including when to use them, and when their use is contraindicated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the end of this lecture attendees will be able to:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribe the features of hypotonic crystalloids such as 0.45% NaCl and D5W, and how they may be used to correct a free water deficit manifesting as hypernatremia.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribe the features of hypertonic crystalloids such as 7.5% NaCl, and how they may be used where hyperosmolar therapy is indicated, such as to reduce intracranial pressure in patients with traumatic brain injury.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribe the features of synthetic colloid fluids, and how our understanding of their effects has changed over time with the revised Starling principle and studies suggesting the potential for harm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplain the role of fluid additives such as 50% glucose, potassium, and bicarbonate, in fluid therapy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"m-seminar-entry__item__speakers\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"m-seminar-entry__item__speakers__title\"\u003eSpeakers:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"m-seminar-entry__item__speakers__speaker\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"m-seminar-entry__item__speakers__speaker__name\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClaire Sharp\u003c\/strong\u003e, BSc BVMS MS DACVECC, Associate Professor - Murdoch University\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"m-seminar-entry__item__speakers__speaker\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"m-seminar-entry__item__speakers__speaker__image\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"m-seminar-entry__item__speakers__speaker__name\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCorrin Boyd\u003c\/strong\u003e, BSc BVMS(Hons) GradDipEd MVetClinStud PhD MANZCVS DACVECC, Senior Lecturer - Murdoch University\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"m-seminar-entry__item__speakers__speaker\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"m-seminar-entry__item__speakers__speaker__name\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"m-seminar-entry__item__image--label\"\u003eSponsored by:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"m-seminar-entry__item__image\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"88\" width=\"250\" alt=\"The other fluids on shelf – fluid therapy beyond lactated Ringer’s\" src=\"https:\/\/taskfilescsm.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/speaker_thumb\/2025-04-1507%253A28%253A21435889-VECCS.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Singapore Vet 2025","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56652211880309,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0102\/9989\/9959\/files\/VetAcademy37.png?v=1769690184","url":"https:\/\/academy.vetshow.com\/fr\/products\/the-other-fluids-on-shelf-fluid-therapy-beyond-lactated-ringer-s-svs25","provider":"Vet Show Academy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
