Fluid resuscitation [r]: Medical replacement or supplementation of body fluids, using crystalloids or colloids, and certain blood products ^[e]
Glucose [r]: A monosaccharide (or simple sugar) and an important carbohydrate in biology, used by the living cell as a source of energy and metabolic intermediate. ^[e]
Polymer [r]: A compound of high molecular weight derived either by the addition of many smaller, similar molecules (monomers), or by the condensation of many smaller, similar molecules eliminating water, alcohol, etc. ^[e]

Human blood plasma [r]: Add brief definition or description
Dextran 70 [r]: A glucose polymer used as a plasma expander in hypovolemia ^[e]
Albumin injection [r]: Compoent of human blood used as a plasma volume expander; has no oxygen-carrying capacity and synthetics increasingly preferred ^[e]

Ringer's lactate [r]: Add brief definition or description
Normal saline [r]: 0.85 or 0.9 percent in water; saline for injection is sterile and uses highly purified water ^[e]
