RESUMO
La administración de fluidos para la reanimación del paciente grave en las unidades de cuidados intensivos es una de las intervenciones más frecuentes y hasta en un 40% de las ocasiones es el equipo de enfermería el que toma la decisión de administrar un bolo de fluido a un paciente crítico según protocolos establecidos, por lo que en el presente trabajo se realiza una revisión del estado actual de la fluidoterapia y su empleo en este tipo de pacientes. Asimismo, para optimizar los conocimientos y el tratamiento administrado a este tipo de pacientes, se describen los distintos tipos de fluidos existentes y los posibles efectos adversos que se puedan desarrollar derivados de su administración
