- Obtain vascular access via large bore catheter (preferred)
- easier for CT scan at the hospital
- Isotonic crystalloid solution is preferred; 0.9% Sodium Chloride
- Maintain administration rate at a KVO 30ml / hr
- Use caution when administering a fluid bolus for hemodynamic support
- Amounts greater than 500 - 1000ml can increase right ventricular afterload, which may lead to right ventricular failure
