Considerations for Crystalloids - 0.9% NS vs LR vs Plasma-Lyte
 - Causes hyperkalemia?
 - Safe to give in patients with hyperkalemia?
 - Causes lactic acidosis?
 - Serum lactate can still be trended in patients with cirrhosis?
 - Can cause a NAGMA?
 - May be preferable in patients with a metabolic acidosis?
 - Safe to give in patients with elevated intracranial pressure?

Update: AKI in NS row was removed- trials were negative for AKI but positive for MAKE per @kidney_boy feedback.
