In this article we review some topics about the historical application of liquid solutions by intravenous route in emergency conditions like basic reanimation in the battle field or in acute infectious diseases. We describe the rheological properties and dynamic effects of several substances like crystalloids, colloids, hestartash and polygelatins over the cardiovascular system, renal function and hepatic metabolism. Although, its administration, time intervals, dosis and the pathological conditions of the patients, generate controversial betwen authors and physicians, we recomend its use based in the consensus statement about colloid volumen expanders (1995) and evidence based medicine.

Palabras clave : Colloids; crystalloids; plasma substitutes.
