The top cartoon is a familiar illustration of the distribution of body water in original Starling physiology theory that implies that crystalloid solutions will be inefficient for resuscitation from a reduced plasma volume. The bottom cartoon, grounded in revised Starling physiology, explains the observed relative efficiencies of either colloid or crystalloid resuscitation.
