Rapid infusion of moderate volume of isotonic saline improved survival in uncontrolled hemorrhage. Extreme volumes, infused rapidly, also resulted in higher survival rates compared with those observed in nonresuscitated rats.

Early and adequate isotonic saline resuscitation of unanesthetized rats improved outcome despite continuing hemorrhage. The significantly lower mortality rate and increased survival time were not a result of transiently improved arterial pressure and did not correlate with blood loss. No significant bleeding increases were noted in the resuscitated groups.
