This is a nice review evaluating the use of hypertonic saline solutions in critically ill patients. The review shows that hypertonic saline is well tolerated and effective in the treatment of hemorrhagic shock and raised intracranial pressure after trauma. However, there is no survival or outcome benefit with the use of hypertonic saline.
