Many efforts have been made to predict, before giving fluid, whether it will increase cardiac
output. Nevertheless, after fluid administration, it is also essential to assess the therapeutic …

Rapid administration of intravenous fluid or a ''fluid challenge''is one of the most common
interventions in the intensive care patient with manifest or perceived hemodynamic …

Fluid administration in the critically ill patient has an effect on organ systems that is not often
readily evident. The gastrointestinal system motility and absorption can be altered. Total …

Objective: This study aims to describe the pharmacodynamics of a fluid challenge over a 10-
minute period in postoperative patients. Design: Prospective observational study. Setting …

IV fluid therapy plays a fundamental role in the management of hospitalized patients. While
the correct use of iv fluids can be lifesaving, recent literature demonstrates that fluid therapy …

The administration of intravenous fluids for resuscitation is the most common intervention in
acute medicine. There is increasing evidence that the type of fluid may directly affect patient …

Objective: The objectives of this study are to determine what is the minimal volume required
to perform an effective fluid challenge and to investigate how different doses of IV fluids in an …

Fluids and oxygen are the most ubiquitous therapeutic interventions in critically ill patients.
