Objective: Fluid administration in combination with the increase in vasopermeability induced
by critical illness often results in significant fluid overload in critically ill patients. Recent …

Importance After initial resuscitation, critically ill children may accumulate fluid and develop
fluid overload. Accruing evidence suggests that fluid overload contributes to greater …

Background: Sepsis is associated with generalised endothelial injury and capillary leak and
has traditionally been treated with large volume fluid resuscitation. Some patients with …

Objective: Investigate the association between fluid overload and oxygenation while
controlling for severity of illness by daily Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction scores. Design …

In critically ill patients, fluid balance management is an integral part of the process of care. In
patients in shock or severe sepsis, aggressive initial fluid resuscitation has been shown to …

Intravenous fluid therapy is one of the most common interventions in acutely ill patients.
Each day, over 20% of patients in intensive care units (ICUs) receive intravenous fluid …

When delivered correctly for the right reasons and at the appropriate time, intravenous fluid
can be lifesaving. However, in established critical illness, a combination of increased fluid …

Abstract Background Fluid challenges (FCs) are one of the most commonly used therapies
in critically ill patients and represent the cornerstone of hemodynamic management in …

Objectives: To describe the characteristics of fluid accumulation in critically ill children and
evaluate the association between the degree, timing, duration, and rate of fluid accumulation …

Background: A common practice in the management of critically ill patients is fluid
resuscitation. An excessive administration of fluids can lead to an imbalance in fluid …
