Until now that was the recommendation - but recently the ATLS had been
reviewed with the help of this list, no less, and the attached document
will highlight the planned changes in the next edition. Most of us here
feel this is a good adaptation to new evidence.

See the pdf of the J Trauma article.

hello all,

as a long time lurker do allow me to put a simple question  -
does ATLS really recommend giving 2 l of crystalloid to all trauma 
patients with a lowish blood pressure, let's say, 80mmHg, pulse
100/min, 
awake, no head injury, warm, but suspected internal injury?

thanks,
