Which of the following is NOT true about hypertonic saline?
It is 7% saline (NaCl)

Hyperproteinemia
Hypoproteinemia
Lack of response to initial crystalloid administration
To improve hydration after initial crystalloid administration
None of these
Vasopressors and positive inotropes are used due to poor response to volume replacement and for hypovolemic shock.
Giving oxygen in shock provides oxygen to tissues but it may not change oxygen transport.
Hypothermia improves vascular response to fluids which is why it is important to use passive warming. Coming out of hypothermia too rapidly will impair the vascular response.
