 Urgent medical attention in this phase consists of fluid resuscitation efforts, mainly the intravenous administration of saline solution plus hetastarch or albumin and colloids (to increase the remaining blood flow to vital organs like the kidneys), as well as glucocorticoids (steroids like methylprednisolone, to reduce or stop the capillary leak).However effective on blood pressure, the impact of fluid therapy is always transient and leads to increased extravascular fluid accumulation, engendering multiple complications especially compartment syndrome and thus limb-destructive rhabdomyolysis.Consequently, patients experiencing episodes of SCLS should be closely monitored in a hospital intensive-care setting, including for orthopedic complications requiring surgical decompression, and their fluid therapy should be minimized as much as possible.
