A '''crystalloid''' fluids form a true solution  meaning it can easily cross a semi permeable membrane and is distinguished by its ability to be crystallised. They can be classified as ''maintainance'' or ''replacement fluids''. A replacement crystalloid often do not have high potassium concentrations allowing for rapid administration without potassium toxicity, where as maintainance crystalloids often have a higher potassium but lower sodium and chloride then a replacement crystalloid.
