Key result
This review of colloid versus crystalloid resuscitation fluids in hypovolemic patients suggests that future trials should focus on postoperative recovery quality rather than mortality.
Why the study?
Does the choice between colloid and crystalloid resuscitation fluids improve the quality of postoperative recovery in hypovolemic patients?
Does the choice between colloid and crystalloid resuscitation fluids improve the quality of postoperative recovery in hypovolemic patients?

Fluid choice in hypovolemia should remain unchanged; leaves open whether recovery quality merits priority over mortality in future trials.
Moretti et al. (2003) conducted a review in Hypovolemia. Colloid resuscitation fluid vs. Crystalloid resuscitation fluid was evaluated. This review of colloid versus crystalloid resuscitation fluids in hypovolemic patients suggests that future trials should focus on postoperative recovery quality rather than mortality.
