Hemorrhagic shock is the most important cause of early death following major trauma. Aggressive fluid resuscitation therapy is an important treatment approach for hemorrhagic shock, and nurses in critical care units must be adept at the skills to administer such. ⋯ While the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) training program has provided fluid resuscitation therapy guidelines since 1997, resuscitation volume, rate and time as well as crystalloid and colloid ratios remain uncertain. Therefore, we hope this article can provide evidence-based knowledge related to fluid resuscitation therapy in order to avoid secondary organ damage in critical care.

[Racing with illness: the life experiences of mothers of children with duchenne muscular dystrophy].
Understanding the life experiences of mothers of children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is very important for nurses focused on providing family care. The present study provides valuable insight into this issue, as few studies on this important topic have been done previously. ⋯ Study findings may help us better understand the life experiences of mothers of children with DMD and may serve as an important reference with regard to how best to coordinate government, medical, education and other support organizations to provide such mothers with greater support and assistance and DMD children with better care.
