Protocol summary

Study aim
comparing hospitalization outcome (mortality and duration), renal function and perfusion status in patients receiving normal saline versus lactated ringer in the Emergency Department
Design
We will divide study period to consecutive three days clusters and allocate each cluster to one study group using random table. Code of fluid (instead of name of fluid) will be written on pocket label. Just drug provider knows code of each fluid.
