DRUG

Isotonic crystalloids

Types of fluid to be used in both intervention groups: * IV fluids given for circulatory impairment: Only isotonic crystalloids are to be used as per the Scandinavian guideline for fluid resuscitation * Fluids given to substitute overt loss: Isotonic crystalloids are to be used. If large amounts of ascites are tapped, then human albumin may be used * Fluids used for dehydration: Water or isotonic glucose should be used * Fluids used for electrolyte disturbances: Fluids should be chosen to substitute the specific deficiency, including water in the case of severe hypernatremia * Blood products are only to be used on specific indications including severe bleeding, severe anaemia and prophylactic in case of severe coagulopathy
