Balanced Crystalloids vs. NormalSaline - My infographic about SALT-ED and SMART trial comparing crystalloids and saline for the critically and noncritically ill patients.



SALT-ED - Balanced Crystalloids versus Saline in Noncritically Ill Adults 

- No difference in hospital-free days between treatment with BC and NS. 

- Stage 2 AKI patients or those with borderline renal failure or hyperchloremia had the largest benefit from balanced crystalloids.

SMART - Balanced Crystalloids versus Saline in Critically Ill Adults 

 - The use of balanced crystalloids resulted in a lower rate of MAKE30 than the use of saline. 

 - The largest benefit appears to be in the septic subset of patients with a NNT of 20.
