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 …

Rationale: Assessment of fluid responsiveness relies on dynamic echocardiographic
parameters that have not yet been compared in large cohorts. Objectives: To determine the …

Objectives Oliguria after cardiac surgery remains of uncertain clinical significance.
Therefore, we investigated the relationship of acute kidney injury severity across urine …

Acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluids are closely linked through oliguria, which is a marker of
the former and a trigger for administration of the latter. Recent progress in this field has …

Objective To test the hypothesis that resuscitation with balanced fluids (lactated Ringer [LR])
is associated with improved outcomes compared with normal saline (NS) in pediatric sepsis …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between early fluid
accumulation and mortality in children with shock states. Methods We retrospectively …

Fluid management goals differ during the resuscitation, optimization, stabilization and
evacuation phases of fluid resuscitation. To prevent fluid overload, strategies that reduce …

Background In mechanically ventilated patients, an increase in cardiac index during an end-
expiratory-occlusion test predicts fluid responsiveness. To identify this rapid increase in …
