Roadhog will become famous soon enough
The trouble with fluid replacement in casualties, is that until you have effective haemorrage control, as fast as you put fluid in one hole, it is coming out another. The US Army is now looking at NOT starting IVs until blood is available, as long as there is a good radial pulse the US recommendation is not to begin infusion.
