TY - JOUR AU - Romagnoli, Stefano AU - Ricci, Zaccaria PY - 2016 TI - The good receipt for the kidneys: salty…but not too much JF - Journal of Thoracic Disease; Vol 8, No 9 (September 28, 2016): Journal of Thoracic Disease Y2 - 2016 KW - N2 - After its first application in 1831, during the second cholera pandemic (1), “normal” saline has become one of the most commonly used crystalloid solutions worldwide (2) and over one million litres are administered intravenously everyday (1). Nevertheless, the non-physiological composition of the 0.9% saline and its related risks of kidney injury have recently alarmed intensivists and other clinicians and the so called “balanced crystalloids” have been studied as safer alternatives.
