Abstract
Hypertonic saline solution induces a rapid but transient increase in p lasma volume, cardiac output, and mean arterial pressure. This solutio n can be useful to veterinary practitioners and their clients because it provides a rapid and inexpensive technique for the initial resuscit ation of food animals in hemorrhagic or endotoxic shock. Hypertonic sa line should be used as an adjunct to therapy and not as a cure-all.
