What are the First line drugs used in a crash?
if your talking about a car accident you would be given normal saline(.9% Sodium Chloride) or Lactated Ringers/Ringers Lactate for fluid replacement in cases of hypovolemic shock. in cardiac arrest you give epi and lidocaine or epi and atropine every five minutes prn
What would happen if a person was given a transfusion with pure water?
Likely very little. The standard IV solutions used today are normal saline, D5W (dextrose), and Lactated Ringers. All three are primarily pure water. Normal saline for instance is 0.9% saline in a liter of water. During WW2 in the Pacific, military doctors discovered because of a severe shortage of IV solutions, and plasma and other blood products that they could IV patients with fresh coconut water. The water from fresh coconut is sterile and contains similar components to lactated ringers. Recall that 92% of blood volume is water, and even a moderate reduction of this percentage produces a dehydration scenario. If not treated, dehydration will result in a particularly unpleasant death.

Proteins given intravenously would raise a patient's blood volume and pressure?
Proteins given intravenously can increase a patient's blood volume by attracting water into the blood vessels due to their osmotic effect. This increase in blood volume can lead to a subsequent rise in blood pressure, although the effect may vary depending on the type and amount of protein administered. Close monitoring is necessary to prevent any adverse effects such as fluid overload.
