Abstract
Trauma is a leading cause of death in the United States for people under 45. Amongst trauma-related injuries, orthopedic injuries represent a significant component of trauma-related morbidity. In addition to the potential morbidity and mortality secondary to the specific traumatic injury or injuries sustained, sepsis is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in trauma patients as well, and infection related to orthopedic trauma can be especially devastating. Therefore, infection prevention and early recognition of infections is crucial to lowering morbidity and mortality in trauma. Risk factors for fracture-related infection include obesity, tobacco use, open fracture, and need for flap coverage, as well as fracture of the tibia and the degree of contamination. Timely administration of prophylactic antibiotics for patients presenting with open fractures has been shown to decrease the risk of fracture-related infection, and in patients that do experience sepsis from an orthopedic injury, prompt source control is critical, which may include the removal of implanted hardware in infections that occur more than 6 weeks from operative fixation. Given that orthopedic injury constitutes a significant proportion of traumatic injuries, and will likely continue to increase in number in the future, surgeons caring for patients with orthopedic trauma must be able to promptly recognize and manage sepsis secondary to orthopedic injury.

Abstract
Background Fluid resuscitation is an essential component for sepsis treatment. Although several studies demonstrated that dynamic variables were more accurate than static variables for prediction of fluid responsiveness, fluid resuscitation guidance by dynamic variables is not standard for treatment. The objectives were to determine the effects of dynamic inferior vena cava (IVC)-guided versus (vs.) static central venous pressure (CVP)-guided fluid resuscitation in septic patients on mortality; and others, i.e., resuscitation targets, shock duration, fluid and vasopressor amount, invasive respiratory support, length of stay and adverse events. Methods A single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted at Thammasat University Hospital between August 2016 and April 2020. Septic patients were stratified by acute physiologic and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) <25 or ≥25 and randomized by blocks of 2 and 4 to fluid resuscitation guidance by dynamic IVC or static CVP. Results Of 124 patients enrolled, 62 were randomized to each group, and one of each was excluded from mortality analysis. Baseline characteristics were comparable. The 30-day mortality rates between dynamic IVC vs. static CVP groups were not different (34.4% vs. 45.9%, p=0.196). Relative risk for 30-day mortality of dynamic IVC group was 0.8 (95%CI=0.5-1.2, p=0.201). Different outcomes were median (interquartile range) of shock duration (0.8 (0.4-1.6) vs. 1.5 (1.1-3.1) days, p=0.001) and norepinephrine (NE) dose (6.8 (3.9-17.8) vs. 16.1 (7.6-53.6) milligrams, p=0.008 and 0.1 (0.1-0.3) vs. 0.3 (0.1-0.8) milligram⋅kilogram -1, p=0.017). Others were not different. Conclusions Dynamic IVC-guided fluid resuscitation does not affect mortality of septic patients. However, this may reduce shock duration and NE dose, compared with static CVP guidance.

The Ability of Military Critical Care Air Transport Members to Visually Estimate Percent Systolic Pressure Variation. Mil Med 2024; 189:1514-1522. [PMID: 37489875 DOI: 10.1093/milmed/usad281] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2023] [Revised: 05/02/2023] [Accepted: 07/11/2023] [Indexed: 07/26/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Inappropriate fluid management during patient transport may lead to casualty morbidity. Percent systolic pressure variation (%SPV) is one of several technologies that perform a dynamic assessment of fluid responsiveness (FT-DYN). Trained anesthesia providers can visually estimate and use %SPV to limit the incidence of erroneous volume management decisions to 1-4%. However, the accuracy of visually estimated %SPV by other specialties is unknown. The aim of this article is to determine the accuracy of estimated %SPV and the incidence of erroneous volume management decisions for Critical Care Air Transport (CCAT) team members before and after training to visually estimate and utilize %SPV. MATERIAL AND METHODS In one sitting, CCAT team providers received didactics defining %SPV and indicators of fluid responsiveness and treatment with %SPV ≤7 and ≥14.5 defining a fluid nonresponsive and responsive patient, respectively; they were then shown ten 45-second training arterial waveforms on a simulated Propaq M portable monitor's screen. Study subjects were asked to visually estimate %SPV for each arterial waveform and queried whether they would treat with a fluid bolus. After each training simulation, they were told the true %SPV. Seven days post-training, the subjects were shown a different set of ten 45-second testing simulations and asked to estimate %SPV and choose to treat, or not. Nonparametric limits of agreement for differences between true and estimated %SPV were analyzed using Bland-Altman graphs. In addition, three errors were defined: (1) %SPV visual estimate errors that would label a volume responsive patient as nonresponsive, or vice versa; (2) incorrect treatment decisions based on estimated %SPV (algorithm application errors); and (3) incorrect treatment decisions based on true %SPV (clinically significant treatment errors). For the training and testing simulations, these error rates were compared between, and within, provider groups. RESULTS Sixty-one physicians (MDs), 64 registered nurses (RNs), and 53 respiratory technicians (RTs) participated in the study. For testing simulations, the incidence and 95% CI for %SPV estimate errors with sufficient magnitude to result in a treatment error were 1.4% (0.5%, 3.2%), 1.6% (0.6%, 3.4%), and 4.1% (2.2%, 6.9%) for MDs, RNs, and RTs, respectively. However, clinically significant treatment errors were statistically more common for all provider types, occurring at a rate of 7%, 10%, and 23% (all P < .05). Finally, students did not show clinically relevant reductions in their errors between training and testing simulations. CONCLUSIONS Although most practitioners correctly visually estimated %SPV and all students completed the training in interpreting and applying %SPV, all groups persisted in making clinically significant treatment errors with moderate to high frequency. This suggests that the treatment errors were more often driven by misapplying FT-DYN algorithms rather than by inaccurate visual estimation of %SPV. Furthermore, these errors were not responsive to training, suggesting that a decision-making cognitive aid may improve CCAT teams' ability to apply FT-DYN technologies.

The Urine Output Response to Low-Dose Diuretic Challenge Predicts Tolerance to Negative Fluid Balance in Mechanically Ventilated, Critically Ill Patients. Cureus 2024; 16:e65824. [PMID: 39219915 PMCID: PMC11363010 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.65824] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 07/31/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Background and objective Although early diuretic use and negative fluid balance (NFB) have been associated with lower mortality in mechanically ventilated patients, some patients are not tolerant to NFB. Little is known about whether urine output response after the diuretic administration predicts NFB tolerance in mechanically ventilated patients. Hence, we conducted this study to look into this. Methods This was a single-center, prospective, observational study. We included mechanically ventilated patients who were hemodynamically stable with bilateral pulmonary opacities on chest radiography and planned to be diuresed per our fluid removal protocol. In the protocol, a low dose of furosemide adjusted to each patient's estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was administered, and then we started to measure urine outputs hourly for four hours. Tolerance to NFB was defined as "absence of hypotension, fluid resuscitation and vasopressors use, and acute kidney injury during fluid removal". We investigated whether the urine output predicts the tolerance to NFB during fluid removal treatment. Results A total of 60 mechanically ventilated patients were included. Notably, 80% (48/60) of the patients were tolerant to NFB. All hourly and cumulative urine output measurements during the first four hours after the first diuretic administration were significantly higher in the NFB-tolerant group than in the non-tolerant group. Among all hourly and cumulative urine output measurements, the first four-hour cumulative urine output showed the highest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.83 for predicting the tolerance to NFB. Multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusted for the urine output two hours before the diuretic use showed that each 100-mL increase in the first four-hour cumulative urine output was significantly associated with an increased odds ratio (OR) of the tolerance to NFB [adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 1.53; 95% CI: 1.11-2.15]. Conclusions Based on our findings, the first four-hour cumulative urine output after the first low dose of diuretic administration might help predict tolerance to NFB during fluid removal treatment in mechanically ventilated, critically ill patients.

Abstract
Background: Volume overload (VO) is common in the intensive care unit (ICU) and associated with negative outcomes. Approaches have been investigated to curtail VO; however, none specifically focused on medication diluent volume optimization. Objective: Investigate the impact of a pharmacist-driven medication diluent volume optimization protocol on fluid balance in critically ill patients. Methods: A prospective, pilot study was conducted in a medical ICU during October 2021 to December 2021 (pre) and February 2022 to April 2022 (post). A pharmacist-driven medication diluent volume optimization protocol focusing on vasopressor and antimicrobial diluent volumes was implemented. Demographics and clinical data were collected during ICU admission up to 7 days. The primary outcome was net fluid balance on day 3. Secondary outcomes were medication volumes administered, net fluid balance, ICU length of stay, and mortality. Results: Supply chain shortages caused the study to stop at the end of February 2022. Overall, 152 patients were included (123 pre group, 29 post group). The most common admission diagnosis was acute respiratory failure (35%). Vasopressors and antimicrobials were utilized in 47% and 66% of patients, respectively. Net fluid balance on day 3 was greater but not significant in the post group (227.1 mL [-1840.3 to 3483.7] vs 2012.3 mL [-2686.0 to 4846.0]; P = .584). Antimicrobial diluent volumes were significantly less in the post group. No differences were seen in other secondary outcomes. Protocol group assignment was not associated with net fluid balance on day 3. Conclusion: Despite decreasing antimicrobial volume contributions, optimizing diluent volumes alone did not significantly impact overall volume status. Future studies should focus on comprehensive approaches to medication diluent optimization and fluid stewardship.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis fluid resuscitation is controversial, especially for patients with volume overload risk. The Surviving Sepsis Campaign recommends a 30-mL/kg crystalloid fluid bolus for patients with sepsis-induced hypoperfusion. Criticism of this approach includes excessive fluid resuscitation in certain patients. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of guideline-concordant fluid resuscitation in patients with sepsis and heart failure (HF) or end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted in patients with sepsis who qualified for guideline-directed fluid resuscitation and concomitant HF or ESKD. Those receiving crystalloid fluid boluses of at least 30 mL/kg within 3 h of sepsis diagnosis were placed in the concordant group and all others in the nonconcordant group. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes included intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital length of stay (LOS); vasoactive medications and net volume over 24 h; new mechanical ventilation, new or increased volume removal, and acute kidney injury within 48 h; and shock-free survival at 7 days. RESULTS One hundred twenty-five patients were included in each group. In-hospital mortality was 34.4% in the concordant group and 44.8% in the nonconcordant group (p = 0.1205). The concordant group had a shorter ICU LOS (7.6 vs. 10.5 days; p = 0.0214) and hospital LOS (12.9 vs. 18.3 days; p = 0.0163), but increased new mechanical ventilation (37.6 vs. 20.8%; p = 0.0052). No differences in other outcomes were observed. CONCLUSIONS Receipt of a 30-mL/kg fluid bolus did not affect outcomes in a cohort of patients with mixed types of HF and sepsis-induced hypoperfusion.

Abstract
Fluid therapy plays a pivotal role in maintaining tissue perfusion during the management of cardiogenic shock. Nevertheless, its application in this context is contentious, necessitating a balance between achieving adequate volume and avoiding fluid overload. This systematic review aimed to assess the outcomes of fluid therapy in cardiogenic shock. This review encompasses 11 studies involving 406 participants. Although some studies reported hemodynamic improvements following fluid administration, others presented contrasting findings. Studies that did not highlight the benefits of fluid therapy typically involved patients with unique comorbidities requiring specific etiology-based medical treatments. The most prevalent cause of cardiogenic shock, acute coronary syndrome, exhibited varying responses to fluid therapy based on the infarct location. In conclusion, fluid therapy plays a crucial role in cardiogenic shock management but necessitates integration into an appropriate treatment strategy, accounting for individual circumstances, comorbidities, and etiology. Further research is imperative to amass additional evidence regarding this issue.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine whether a positive fluid balance is associated with AKI and mortality in sepsis and septic shock patients. METHODS A retrospective chart review of 482 patients treated for sepsis or septic shock. Patients were stratified according to quartiles of cumulative fluid balance on days 1 and 3. Logistic models were built to explore the association between fluid balance, AKI, and ICU mortality. RESULTS During the first days of ICU admission, fluid input did not differ between survivors and non-survivors, yet a significant difference in output resulted in a more positive fluid balance in non-survivors on day 1 (37.24 ± 31.98 ml/kg vs. 24.97 ± 23.76 ml/kg, p < 0.001) and day 3 (83.33 ± 70.86 ml/kg vs. 62.20 ± 45.90 ml/kg, P = 0.005). Using a logistic regression model, a positive fluid balance on day three was independently associated with higher ICU mortality (odds ratio 1.007 for every one ml/kg, P = 0038) and AKIN stage III (odds ratio 1.006 for every one ml/kg, p = 0.031). CONCLUSION In patients with sepsis and septic shock, a more positive fluid balance is associated with an increased incidence of acute kidney injury and death after correction for possible confounders.

Abstract
The Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guidelines recommend fluid administration of 30 cc/kg ideal body weight (IBW) for patients with sepsis and lactate greater than 4 mmol/L within 3 hours of identification. In this study, we explore the impact of fluid dose on lactate normalization, treatment cost, length of stay, and mortality in patients with lactate greater than 4. DESIGN Multicenter retrospective observational study. SETTING Eight-hospital urban healthcare system in Northeastern United States. PATIENTS Patients with sepsis, initial lactate value greater than 4 mmol/L, and received appropriate antibiotics within 3 hours. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS We stratified patients into five groups based on the dose of fluid administered within 3 hours after sepsis identification. The groupings were less than 15 cc/kg IBW, 15.1-25 cc/kg IBW, 25.1-35 cc/kg IBW, 35.1-50 cc/kg IBW, and greater than 50 cc/kg IBW. We used the group that received a fluid dose of 25.1-35 cc/kg IBW, as a reference group. The mean age was 66 years, and 56% were male. Three hundred seventy-one (25%) received less than 15 cc/kg of IBW of crystalloid fluid, 278 (17%) received 15-25 cc/kg of IBW, 316 (21%) received 25.1-35 cc/kg of IBW, 319 (21%) received 35.1-50 cc/kg of IBW, and 207 (14%) received greater than 50 cc/kg of IBW. After multilinear regression, there was no significant difference in lactate normalization between the reference group and any of the other fluid groups. We also found no statistically significant difference in the observed/expected cost, or observed/expected length of stay, between the reference group and any of the other fluid groups. Mortality was higher among patients who received greater than 50 cc/kg IBW when compared to the recommended dose. CONCLUSIONS In patients with sepsis and lactate value greater than 4 mmol/L, high or low fluid doses were not associated with better lactate clearance or patient outcomes. Greater than 50 cc/kg IBW dose of fluids within 3 hours is associated with higher mortality.

Abstract
In patients with acute circulatory failure, we tested the feasibility of the evaluation of the fluid-responsiveness (FR) by a combined approach with echocardiography and lung ultrasound. We enrolled 113 consecutive patients admitted to the Emergency Department High-Dependency Unit of Careggi University-Hospital from January 2015 to June 2020. We assessed: (1) inferior vena cava collapsibility index (IVCCI); (2) the variation of aortic flow (VTIAo) during the passive leg raising test (PLR); (3) the presence of interstitial syndrome by lung ultrasound. FR was defined as an increase in the VTIAo > 10% during PLR or IVCCI ≥ 40%. FR patients were treated with fluid and those non-FR with diuretics or vasopressors. The therapeutic strategy was reassessed after 12 h. The goal was to maintain the initial strategy. Among 56 FR patients, at lung ultrasound, 15 patients showed basal interstitial syndrome and 4 all-lung involvement. One fluid bolus was given to 51 patients. Among 57 non-FR patients, 26 patients showed interstitial syndrome at lung ultrasound (basal fields in 14, all lungs in 12). We administered diuretics to 21 patients and vasopressors to 4 subjects. We had to change the initial treatment plan in 9% non-FR patients and in 12% FR patients (p = NS). In the first 12 h after the evaluation, non-FR patients received significantly less fluids compared to those FR (1119 ± 410 vs 2010 ± 1254 ml, p < 0.001). The evaluation of the FR based on echocardiography and lung ultrasound was associated with the reduction in fluid administration for non-FR patients compared with those FR.

A system theory based digital model for predicting the cumulative fluid balance course in intensive care patients. Front Physiol 2023; 14:1101966. [PMID: 37123264 PMCID: PMC10133509 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2023.1101966] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2022] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Surgical interventions can cause severe fluid imbalances in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, affecting length of hospital stay and survival. Therefore, appropriate management of daily fluid goals is a key element of postoperative intensive care in these patients. Because fluid balance is influenced by a complex interplay of patient-, surgery- and intensive care unit (ICU)-specific factors, fluid prediction is difficult and often inaccurate. Methods: A novel system theory based digital model for cumulative fluid balance (CFB) prediction is presented using recorded patient fluid data as the sole parameter source by applying the concept of a transfer function. Using a retrospective dataset of n = 618 cardiac intensive care patients, patient-individual models were created and evaluated. RMSE analyses and error calculations were performed for reasonable combinations of model estimation periods and clinically relevant prediction horizons for CFB. Results: Our models have shown that a clinically relevant time horizon for CFB prediction with the combination of 48 h estimation time and 8-16 h prediction time achieves high accuracy. With an 8-h prediction time, nearly 50% of CFB predictions are within ±0.5 L, and 77% are still within the clinically acceptable range of ±1.0 L. Conclusion: Our study has provided a promising proof of principle and may form the basis for further efforts in the development of computational models for fluid prediction that do not require large datasets for training and validation, as is the case with machine learning or AI-based models. The adaptive transfer function approach allows estimation of CFB course on a dynamically changing patient fluid balance system by simulating the response to the current fluid management regime, providing a useful digital tool for clinicians in daily intensive care.

BMC Med Inform Decis Mak 2022; 22:343. [PMID: 36581881 PMCID: PMC9798724 DOI: 10.1186/s12911-022-02090-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2022] [Accepted: 12/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to develop an early warning system for real-time sepsis prediction in the ICU by machine learning methods, with tools for interpretative analysis of the predictions. In particular, we focus on the deployment of the system in a target medical center with small historical samples. METHODS Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM) and multilayer perceptron (MLP) were trained on Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-III) dataset and then finetuned on the private Historical Database of local Ruijin Hospital (HDRJH) using transfer learning technique. The Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) analysis was employed to characterize the feature importance in the prediction inference. Ultimately, the performance of the sepsis prediction system was further evaluated in the real-world study in the ICU of the target Ruijin Hospital. RESULTS The datasets comprised 6891 patients from MIMIC-III, 453 from HDRJH, and 67 from Ruijin real-world data. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs) for LightGBM and MLP models derived from MIMIC-III were 0.98 - 0.98 and 0.95 - 0.96 respectively on MIMIC-III dataset, and, in comparison, 0.82 - 0.86 and 0.84 - 0.87 respectively on HDRJH, from 1 to 5 h preceding. After transfer learning and ensemble learning, the AUCs of the final ensemble model were enhanced to 0.94 - 0.94 on HDRJH and to 0.86 - 0.9 in the real-world study in the ICU of the target Ruijin Hospital. In addition, the SHAP analysis illustrated the importance of age, antibiotics, net balance, and ventilation for sepsis prediction, making the model interpretable. CONCLUSIONS Our machine learning model allows accurate real-time prediction of sepsis within 5-h preceding. Transfer learning can effectively improve the feasibility to deploy the prediction model in the target cohort, and ameliorate the model performance for external validation. SHAP analysis indicates that the role of antibiotic usage and fluid management needs further investigation. We argue that our system and methodology have the potential to improve ICU management by helping medical practitioners identify at-sepsis-risk patients and prepare for timely diagnosis and intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fluid resuscitation is necessary to correct the sepsis-induced hypoperfusion, which is contradictory to the treatment of heart failure. This study explored the association between fluid balance (FB) of the first 24 h after ICU admission and mortality in critically ill patients with heart failure and sepsis. METHODS Data were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care database. The locally weighted scatterplot smoothing (Lowess) method was used to demonstrate the relationship between FB and in-hospital mortality. Groups were divided into high FB (≥ 55.85 ml/kg) and low FB (< 55.85 ml/kg) according to the cut-off value of FB using Receiver operating characteristic analysis and Youden index method. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Subgroup analyses, multivariable logistic regression analyses, and Kaplan-Meier curves were used to detect the association and survival difference between groups. Inverse probability treatment weighting (IPTW) and propensity score matching (PSM) were performed to minimize the bias of confounding factors and facilitate the comparability between groups. RESULTS A total of 936 patients were included. The Lowess curve showed an approximate positive linear relationship for FB and in-hospital mortality. In the multivariable logistic regression adjusted model, high FB showed strong associations with in-hospital mortality (OR 2.53, 95% CI 1.60-3.99, p < 0.001) as compared to the low FB group. In IPTW and PSM models, high FB consistently showed higher in-hospital mortality (IPTW model: OR 1.94, 95% CI 1.52-2.49, p < 0.001; PSM model: OR 2.93, 95% CI 1.75-4.90, p < 0.001) and 30-day mortality (IPTW model: OR 1.65, 95% CI 1.29-2.10, p < 0.001; PSM model: OR 2.50, 95% CI 1.51-4.15, p < 0.001), compared with the low FB group. CONCLUSION For critically ill patients with heart failure and sepsis, high FB within the first 24 h after ICU admission could serve as an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality and 30-day mortality. The avoidance of fluid overload exerts important effects on reducing mortality in such patients.

Abstract
Despite the frequent use of maintenance intravenous fluids (mIVF) in critically ill patients, limited guidance is available. Notably, fluid overload secondary to mIVF mismanagement is associated with significant adverse patient outcomes. The Four Rights (right drug, right dose, right duration, right patient) construct of fluid stewardship has been proposed for the safe evaluation and use of fluids. The purpose of this evidence-based review is to offer practical insights for the clinician regarding mIVF selection, dosing, and duration in line with the Four Rights of Fluid Stewardship.

Abstract
Background Sepsis is accountable for major morbidity and mortality in patients with critical illnesses. The present research was undertaken to evaluate the correlation between fluid balance during hospitalizations and patient outcomes in patients with sepsis. Methods An observational study was undertaken at the Critical Care Department, Shifa International Hospital, Islamabad, Pakistan between December 2021 to April 2022. The patients included were over the age of 17 years, with a proven diagnosis of infection. These patients either had positive bacterial cultures, suffered from organ failure secondary to sepsis, or had clinically evident signs of infection. Patients who were discharged during the period of study were eliminated from the study population. All patients were informed of the process and signed consent was obtained. Basic demographic information was recorded, which included the existence of any comorbid conditions, organ failure, medication use, or infection history. The severity of critical illness was determined for every single patient along with organ damage. The final patient outcome was recorded as in-hospital mortality. Results A total of 307 patients were included in the study with a total of 165 (53.75%) male patients. The overall mortality rate was 39.74%. The mean length of hospitalization was 17.42 ± 8.3 days. A high SOFA score was significantly associated with quartile 4 with a mean score of 14.1 (p < 0.001). Similarly, a significantly higher APACHE score was found in patients in quartile 4 (p < 0.001) thus indicating a relationship between severity of illness and positive fluid balance. Upon further assessment, it was found that the 28th day and 90th day were significantly greater in quartile 4 in comparison to other quartiles. Similarly, the overall length of stays in the hospital and in the ICU were also significantly associated with greater fluid balance (p < 0.001). Conclusion In our study, it was concluded that monitoring fluid balance in critically ill patients is very important. The highest 28-day and 90-day mortality were seen in patients with the greatest positive fluid balance. However, the cause of high mortality in this cohort could be multifactorial; therefore, the relationship of positive fluid balance with patient outcome remains debatable.

Abstract
Sepsis management includes intravenous fluid (IVF) resuscitation, but patients with pre-existing congestive heart failure (CHF) have a higher risk of fluid overload. Further, patients with sepsis with concomitant CHF present worse clinical outcomes. Nevertheless, there is limited evidence of the association between fluid management and the outcomes of patients with concomitant sepsis and CHF. This retrospective cohort study aimed to evaluate the association between fluid management and in-hospital mortality in patients with sepsis and concomitant heart failure (HF). The patients' data were extracted from the Multi-parameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care III Database. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. A restricted cubic spline model was used to explore the relationship between variables and in-hospital mortality. Logistic models were built using the linear spline function and design variables to investigate the association of fluid balance (FB), fluid intake (FI), and fluid accumulation index (FAI, calculated as the FB/FI ratio) with mortality. Overall, 1,801 patients were included. The overall mortality rate was 27.7%. After adjusting for confounding variables, FAI was found to be associated with in-hospital mortality, whereas FB and FI were not. With FAI values of 0–0.42 set as references, FAI values <0 were not associated with in-hospital mortality [odds ratio (OR): 1.078; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.774–1.503], whereas FAI values > 0.42 were significantly associated with higher in-hospital mortality (OR: 1.461; 95% CI: 1.099–1.954). High FAI values (>0.42) were associated with high in-hospital mortality in patients with sepsis with HF, while FB and FI were not. Proper fluid management may improve the outcomes of patients with sepsis and concomitant HF.

The Correspondence Between Fluid Balance and Body Weight Change Measurements in Critically Ill Adult Patients. J Crit Care Med (Targu Mures) 2021; 7:46-53.

Abstract
Introduction Positive fluid status has been associated with a worse prognosis in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Given the potential for errors in the calculation of fluid balance totals and the problem of accounting for indiscernible fluid losses, measurement of body weight change is an alternative non-invasive method commonly used for estimating body fluid status. The objective of the study is to compare the measurements of fluid balance and body weight changes over time and to assess their association with ICU mortality. Methods This prospective observational study was conducted in the 34-bed multidisciplinary ICU of a tertiary teaching hospital in southern Brazil. Adult patients were eligible if their expected length of stay was more than 48 hours, and if they were not receiving an oral diet. Clinical demographic data, daily and cumulative fluid balance with and without indiscernible water loss, and daily and total body weight changes were recorded. Agreement between daily fluid balance and body weight change, and between cumulative fluid balance and total body weight change were calculated. Results Cumulative fluid balance and total body weight change differed significantly among survivors and non survivors respectively, +2.53L versus +5.6L (p= 0.012) and -3.05kg vs -1.1kg (p= 0.008). The average daily difference between measured fluid balance and body weight was +0.864 L/kg with a wide interval: -3.156 to +4.885 L/kg, which remained so even after adjustment for indiscernible losses (mean bias: +0.288; limits of agreement between -3.876 and +4.452 L/kg). Areas under ROC curve for cumulative fluid balance, cumulative fluid balance with indiscernible losses and total body weight change were, respectively, 0.65, 0.56 and 0.65 (p= 0.14). Conclusion The results indicated the absence of correspondence between fluid balance and body weight change, with a more significant discrepancy between cumulative fluid balance and total body weight change. Both fluid balance and body weight changes were significantly different among survivors and non-survivors, but neither measurement discriminated ICU mortality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Emergency general surgery (EGS) patients presenting with sepsis remain a challenge. The Surviving Sepsis Campaign recommends a 30 mL/kg fluid bolus in these patients, but recent studies suggest an association between large volume crystalloid resuscitation and increased mortality. The optimal amount of pre-operative fluid resuscitation prior to source control in patients with intra-abdominal sepsis is unknown. This study aims to determine if increasing volume of resuscitation prior to surgical source control is associated with worsening outcomes. METHODS We conducted an 8-year retrospective chart review of EGS patients undergoing surgery for abdominal sepsis within 24 h of admission. Patients in hemorrhagic shock and those with outside hospital index surgeries were excluded. We grouped patients by increasing pre-operative resuscitation volume in 10 ml/kg intervals up to > 70 ml/kg and later grouped them into < 30 ml/kg or ≥ 30 ml/kg. A relative risk regression model compared amounts of fluid administration. Mortality was the primary outcome measure. Secondary outcomes were time to operation, ventilator days, and length of stay (LOS). Groups were compared by quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) and SOFA scoring systems. RESULTS Of the 301 patients included, the mean age was 55, 51% were male, 257 (85%) survived to discharge. With increasing fluid per kg (< 10 to < 70 ml/kg), there was an increasing mortality per decile, 8.8% versus 31.6% (p = 0.004). Patients who received < 30 mL/kg had lower mortality (11.3 vs 21%) than those who received > 30 ml/kg (p = 0.02). These groups had median qSOFA scores (1.0 vs. 1.0, p = 0.06). There were no differences in time to operation (6.1 vs 4.9 h p = 0.11), ventilator days (1 vs 3, p = 0.08), or hospital LOS (8 vs 9 days, p = 0.57). Relative risk regression correcting for age and physiologic factors showed no significant differences in mortality between the fluid groups. CONCLUSIONS Greater pre-operative resuscitation volumes were initially associated with significantly higher mortality, despite similar organ failure scores. However, fluid volumes were not associated with mortality following adjustment for other physiologic factors in a regression model. The amount of pre-operative volume resuscitation was not associated with differences in time to operation, ventilator days, ICU or hospital LOS.

[PMID: 34294426 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcrc.2021.07.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2021] [Revised: 06/14/2021] [Accepted: 07/01/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate the association between initial fluid resuscitation in septic shock patients with isolated hyperlactatemia and outcomes. METHODS This multicenter prospective study was conducted using the data from the Korean Shock Society registry. Patients diagnosed with isolated hyperlactatemia between October 2015 and December 2018 were included and divided into those who received 30 mL/kg of fluid within 3 or 6 h and those who did not receive. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality; the secondary outcomes were intensive care unit (ICU) admission, length of ICU stay, mechanical ventilation, and renal replacement therapy (RRT). RESULTS A total of 608 patients were included in our analysis. The administration of 30 mL/kg crystalloid within 3 or 6 h was not significantly associated with in-hospital mortality in multivariable logistic regression analysis ([OR, 0.8; 95% CI, 0.52-1.23, p = 0.31], [OR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.59-1.57, p = 0.88], respectively). The administration of 30 mL/kg crystalloid within 3-h was not significantly associated with mechanical ventilation and RRT ([OR, 1.19; 95% CI, 0.77-1.84, p = 0.44], [OR, 1.2; 95% CI, 0.7-2.04, p = 0.5], respectively). However, the administration of 30 mL/kg crystalloid within 6 h was associated with higher ICU admission and RRT ([OR, 1.57; 95% CI, 1.07-2.28, p = 0.02], [OR, 2.08; 95% CI, 1.19-3.66, p = 0.01], respectively). CONCLUSIONS Initial fluid resuscitation of 30 mL/kg within 3 or 6 h was neither associated with an increased or decreased in-hospital mortality in septic shock patients with isolated hyperlactatemia.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Although early fluid administration has been shown to lower sepsis mortality, positive fluid balance has been associated with adverse outcomes. Little is known about associations in non-intensive care unit settings, with growing concern about readmission from excess fluid accumulation in patients with sepsis. OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether positive fluid balance among non-critically ill patients with sepsis was associated with increased readmission risk, including readmission for heart failure. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted between January 1, 2012, and December 31, 2017, among 57 032 non-critically ill adults hospitalized for sepsis at 21 hospitals across Northern California. Kaiser Permanente Northern California is an integrated health care system with a community-based population of more than 4.4 million members. Statistical analysis was performed from January 1 to December 31, 2019. EXPOSURES Intake and output net fluid balance (I/O) measured daily and cumulatively at discharge (positive vs negative). MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome was 30-day readmission. The secondary outcomes were readmission stratified by category and mortality after living discharge. RESULTS The cohort included 57 032 patients who were hospitalized for sepsis (28 779 women [50.5%]; mean [SD] age, 73.7 [15.5] years). Compared with patients with positive I/O (40 940 [71.8%]), those with negative I/O (16 092 [28.2%]) were older, with increased comorbidity, acute illness severity, preexisting heart failure or chronic kidney disease, diuretic use, and decreased fluid administration volume. During 30-day follow-up, 8719 patients (15.3%) were readmitted and 3639 patients (6.4%) died. There was no difference in readmission between patients with positive vs negative I/O (HR, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.95-1.05). No association was detected between readmission and I/O using continuous, splined, and quadratic function transformations. Positive I/O was associated with decreased heart failure-related readmission (HR, 0.80 [95% CI, 0.71-0.91]) and increased 30-day mortality (HR, 1.23 [95% CI, 1.15-1.31]). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this large observational study of non-critically ill patients hospitalized with sepsis, there was no association between positive fluid balance at the time of discharge and readmission. However, these findings may have been limited by variable recording and documentation of fluid intake and output; additional studies are needed to examine the association of fluid status with outcomes in patients with sepsis to reduce readmission risk.

Assessment of Fluid Status by Bioimpedance Analysis and Central Venous Pressure Measurement and Their Association with the Outcomes of Severe Acute Kidney Injury. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2021; 57:medicina57060518. [PMID: 34067299 PMCID: PMC8224573 DOI: 10.3390/medicina57060518] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2021] [Revised: 05/12/2021] [Accepted: 05/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Fluid disbalance is associated with adverse outcomes in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). In this study, we intended to assess fluid status using bioimpedance analysis (BIA) and central venous pressure (CVP) measurement and to evaluate the association between hyperhydration and hypervolemia with the outcomes of severe AKI. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was conducted in the Hospital of the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences Kauno Klinikos. Forty-seven patients treated at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with severe AKI and a need for renal replacement therapy (RRT) were examined. The hydration level was evaluated according to the ratio of extracellular water to total body water (ECW/TBW) of bioimpedance analysis and volemia was measured according to CVP. All of the patients were tested before the first hemodialysis (HD) procedure. Hyperhydration was defined as ECW/TBW > 0.39 and hypervolemia as CVP > 12 cm H2O. Results: According to bioimpedance analysis, 72.3% (n = 34) of patients were hyperhydrated. According to CVP, only 51.1% (n = 24) of the patients were hypervolemic. Interestingly, 69.6% of hypovolemic/normovolemic patients were also hyperhydrated. Of all study patients, 57.4% (n = 27) died, in 29.8% (n = 14) the kidney function improved, and in 12.8% (n = 6) the demand for RRT remained after in-patient treatment. A tendency of higher mortality in hyperhydrated patients was observed, but no association between hypervolemia and outcomes of severe AKI was established. Conclusions: Three-fourths of the patients with severe AKI were hyperhydrated based on bioimpedance analysis. However, according to CVP, only half of these patients were hypervolemic. A tendency of higher mortality in hyperhydrated patients was observed.

Abstract
A positive fluid balance has been found to be deleterious in critically ill
patients; however, the impact of early fluid balance, particularly on long-term
outcomes, in critically ill patients with cancer remains unclear. We performed
this retrospective study at a tertiary-care referral hospital with 1500 beds and
6 intensive care units (ICUs) in central Taiwan, and 942 patients with cancer
admitted to ICUs during 2013 to 2016 were enrolled. The primary outcome was
1-year mortality. Cancer-related data were obtained from the cancer registry,
and data during ICU admissions were retrieved from the electronic medical
records. The association between fluid balance, which was represented by median
and interquartile range, and 1-year mortality was determined by calculating the
hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) using a multivariable Cox
proportional hazards regression model. The in-hospital mortality rate was 22.9%
(216 of 942), and the mortality within 1 year after the index ICU admission was
38.7% (365 of 942). Compared to survivors, nonsurvivors tended to have a higher
Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score (24.1 ± 6.9 vs 20.5 ±
6.2, P < .01), a higher age (65.0 ± 14.4 vs 61.3 ± 14.3,
P < .01), a higher serum creatinine (1.5 ± 1.3 vs 1.0 ±
1.0, P < .01), and a higher cumulative day 1 to 4 fluid
balance (2669, 955-5005 vs 4103, 1268-7215 mL, P < .01).
Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis found that cumulative
day-4 fluid balance was independently associated with 1-year mortality (adj HR
1.227, 95% CI: 1.132-1.329). A positive day 1 to 4 cumulative fluid balance was
associated with shorter 1-year survival in critically ill patients with cancer.
Further studies are needed to validate this association.

Abstract
Glucocorticoids might have significant influence on positive fluid balance, mostly due to their mineralocorticoid effect. We assessed the association between glucocorticoid therapy and fluid balance in septic patients, in the intensive care unit (ICU). We considered two definitions of exposure: daily exposure to glucocorticoids and glucocorticoid treatment at any time. Of 945 patients, 375 were treated with glucocorticoids in the ICU. We applied four regression models. In the first, fluid balance did not differ during days with and without glucocorticoid treatment, among patients treated and not treated with glucocorticoids in the ICU. In our second model, daily fluid balance was increased in patients who were ever treated with glucocorticoids during their ICU stay compared to untreated patients. In the third model, which included only patients treated with glucocorticoids during their ICU stay, glucocorticoid treatment days were not associated with daily fluid balance. In the last model, on "steroid-free days", patients who received glucocorticoid treatment during their ICU stay had a positive fluid balance compared to those who were never treated with steroids. Despite their known mineralocorticoid activity, glucocorticoids themselves appear not to contribute substantially to fluid retention. This work highlights the importance of precise selection of variables to mitigate biases.

Abstract
For patients with sepsis and septic shock, it remains controversial when to restrict fluid intake and achieve a negative fluid balance. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of the fluid intake volume during the first 24 h as well as fluid balance for 7 days on the prognosis of sepsis or septic shock. A total of 337 patients diagnosed with sepsis or septic shock at Ruijin Hospital (Shanghai, China) were enrolled in the present retrospective study. Patients with a low fluid intake volume during the first 24 h (fluid intake, 28.1±10.6 ml/kg) had lower in-hospital mortality rates (18.0 vs. 27.3%, P=0.043) and a shorter duration of mechanical ventilation [0 (0-6) vs. 3 (0-11), P=0.025] than the high-fluid volume intake group (62.6±17.6 ml/kg). Furthermore, survivors exhibited a daily negative net fluid balance from the second day (48 h), whereas non-survivors had a daily positive net fluid balance for 7 days, where fluid balance volumes were significantly lower in survivors compared with those in non-survivors. Finally, binary logistic regression analysis was used to determine whether the mean daily fluid balance (P<0.001) and the Acute Physiologic and Chronic Health Evaluation II score (P=0.048) were independent prognostic factors for patients with sepsis or septic shock. It was indicated that a low fluid intake volume during the first 24 h and a persistent negative fluid balance from the second day were associated with favorable outcomes. The mean daily fluid balance was an independent prognostic factor or patients with sepsis or septic shock.

Abstract
Background Fluid overload is associated with poor outcomes, but mitigating its occurrence poses significant challenges. Objective This study sought to assess the impact of hidden fluid volume on fluid overload. Methods This study was a multi-center, retrospective evaluation of adults admitted to a medical or surgical intensive care unit for at least 72 h. Patients were divided into tertiles (low, moderate, and high) based on the hidden fluid volume received. Hidden fluids were defined as intravenous medications, line flushes, blood products, and enteral nutrition. The primary outcome was the incidence of fluid overload at intensive care unit (day 3). Secondary outcomes included mechanical-ventilation free days and association of hidden fluid volume with fluid overload, length of stay, and mortality. Results A total of 219 (73 per tertile) were included, with hidden fluid volume comprising ⩽2500, 2501-4400, and >4400 mL in the low, moderate, and high tertiles, respectively. Incidence of fluid overload was significantly different across groups (low: 3%, moderate: 14%, high: 25%; p < 0.001). No difference existed in mechanical-ventilation free days or in-hospital mortality across tertiles. In binary logistic regression, hidden fluid volume received at 3 days was independently associated with fluid overload (odds ratio = 1.40, 95% confidence interval = 1.15-1.70). Conclusion The volume of hidden fluid volume administered by intensive care unit day 3 independently predicted development of fluid overload.

Abstract
Introduction: Sepsis, a dysregulated host response to infection, is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Early identification and evidence-based treatment of sepsis are associated with improved outcomes.Areas covered: This narrative review was undertaken following a PubMed search for English language reports published before July 2020 using the terms 'sepsis,' 'septic shock,' 'fluids,' 'fluid therapy,' 'albumin,' 'corticosteroids,' 'vasopressor.' Emerging management strategies were identified following a search of the ClinicalTrails.gov database using the term 'sepsis.' Additional reports were identified by examining the reference lists of selected articles and based on personnel knowledge of the field of sepsis.Expert opinion: The core treatment of sepsis relies on source control, early antibiotics, and organ support. The main emerging strategies focus on immunomodulation, artificial intelligence, and on multi-omics approaches for a personalized therapy.

Abstract
Background: Severe burn injury results in substantial damage to the skin, inhibiting its ability to perform as the primary barrier to infection. Additionally, severe burn injury can lead to critical illness and extensive time in the intensive care unit (ICU). These two factors work to increase the risk of sepsis in the burn patient compared with other hospitalized patients. The increased risk of sepsis is compounded by the difficulty of diagnosing sepsis in severely burned patients because the pathophysiology of large burns mimics sepsis, leading to possible delay in diagnosis and initiation of treatment. Methods: A literature review was performed to discuss and review the diagnostic difficulties and criteria used to identify patients with sepsis. Additionally, the most current management of sepsis was reviewed and described in caring for burn patients with sepsis. Results: The incidence of sepsis in patients with more than 20% total body surface area (TBSA) burns is between 3% and 30% and is the most common cause of death in the burn patient, with pneumonia being the most common etiology. Several different diagnostic criteria for diagnosing sepsis in burn patients exist, however, none of these criteria have proven to be superior to clinical diagnosis by an experienced burn surgeon. As with sepsis in other patient populations, prompt diagnosis, initiation of antibiotic agents, and source control remain the standard management of sepsis in the burn patient. Conclusions: Because of the loss of the primary infection barrier function of the skin after a substantial burn injury, this patient population is at increased risk for sepsis. Because of the pathophysiology of burn injuries, diagnosing sepsis in the burn population remains challenging. Understanding the most common etiologies of sepsis in burn patients may help with more expedient diagnosis and initiation of treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine if following fluid resuscitation recommendations in the Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines affects hospital length of stay (LOS) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients who present to the emergency department with sepsis-induced hypotension or septic shock. DESIGN Retrospective, single center, cohort study. SETTING 433-bed community hospital with a 35-bed emergency department in central Kentucky. PATIENTS Adults (≥18 years of age) who presented to the emergency department with severe sepsis or septic shock, as defined by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), with documented CKD and at least one episode of hypotension within 6 h of presentation. A total of 106 patients were included in the study. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Patients were stratified into two groups based on the total volume of weight-based crystalloid fluid bolus initiated within the first three hours of hypotension onset (<27 mL/kg and ≥ 27 mL/kg). There was a statistically significant reduction in the primary outcome of median LOS among patients who received less than 27 mL/kg of a crystalloid fluid bolus (5.1 vs 7.7 days, p = .003). Likewise, there was a statistically significant reduction in the secondary outcome of total cost per case in the reduced fluid volume cohort (p = .019. No significant differences were found in other secondary outcomes, including vasopressor requirements, ICU admission rate, and normalization of MAP at 6 h. CONCLUSION The results of this single-center, retrospective study indicate that CKD patients who receive guideline-directed fluid resuscitation (≥27 mL/kg) for sepsis-induced hypotension or septic shock experience a longer hospital LOS compared to those who receive a reduced initial fluid volume.

Abstract
Cardiac involvement during sepsis frequently occurs. A series of molecules induces a set of changes at the cellular level that result in the malfunction of the myocardium. The understanding of these molecular alterations has simultaneously promoted the implementation of diagnostic strategies that are much more precise and allowed the advance of the therapeutics. The heart is a vital organ for survival. Its well-being ensures the adequate supply of essential elements for organs and tissues.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The charting of daily fluid balances and measurement of body weight changes are two noninvasive methods commonly used in the intensive care unit for estimating body fluid status. The determination of body fluid status plays an important role in the management of critically ill patients where aggressive fluid resuscitation is often required. This can adversely affect patient outcomes if changes in fluid distribution are not detected early in patients who are susceptible to fluid overload. AIM To synthesize the best available evidence on the accuracy of daily fluid balance charting compared with the measurement of body weight for the estimation of body fluid status in critically ill adult patients. METHODS The review considered studies that investigated the accuracy of charting daily fluid balances or changes in body weight measurements or used both noninvasive methods in the estimation of body fluid status. The search sought to identify published, English language studies from 1980 until February 2018. Databases searched included MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, TRIP, Scopus, TROVE, ProQuest Dissertations, Australian and New Zealand Trials Registry, and Cochrane Central Register of Clinical Trials. Three reviewers independently assessed retrieved studies that matched inclusion criteria using standardized critical appraisal instruments. RESULTS The review included 13 cohort studies. Effectiveness of daily fluid balance charting was affected by inaccuracies observed in seven studies. Inability to obtain consecutive daily body weight measurements reduced the accuracy of monitoring changes in five studies. Seven studies found measurement of daily fluid balance inconsistent with changes in body weight. LINKING EVIDENCE TO ACTION The accuracy of charting fluid balance is suspect. Measurement of body weight is hard to accomplish. A combination of the two commonly used methods is more likely to be effective in estimating body fluid status than reliance on one single approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fluid and vasopressor management in septic shock remains controversial. In this randomized controlled trial, we evaluated the efficacy of dynamic measures (stroke volume change during passive leg raise) to guide resuscitation and improve patient outcome. RESEARCH QUESTION Will resuscitation that is guided by dynamic assessments of fluid responsiveness in patients with septic shock improve patient outcomes? STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS We conducted a prospective, multicenter, randomized clinical trial at 13 hospitals in the United States and United Kingdom. Patients presented to EDs with sepsis that was associated hypotension and anticipated ICU admission. Intervention arm patients were assessed for fluid responsiveness before clinically driven fluid bolus or increase in vasopressors occurred. The protocol included reassessment and therapy as indicated by the passive leg raise result. The control arm received usual care. The primary clinical outcome was positive fluid balance at 72 hours or ICU discharge, whichever occurred first. RESULTS In modified intent-to-treat analysis that included 83 intervention and 41 usual care eligible patients, fluid balance at 72 hours or ICU discharge was significantly lower (-1.37 L favoring the intervention arm; 0.65 ± 2.85 L intervention arm vs 2.02 ± 3.44 L usual care arm; P = .021. Fewer patients required renal replacement therapy (5.1% vs 17.5%; P = .04) or mechanical ventilation (17.7% vs 34.1%; P = .04) in the intervention arm compared with usual care. In the all-randomized intent-to-treat population (102 intervention, 48 usual care), there were no significant differences in safety signals. INTERPRETATION Physiologically informed fluid and vasopressor resuscitation with the use of the passive leg raise-induced stroke volume change to guide management of septic shock is safe and demonstrated lower net fluid balance and reductions in the risk of renal and respiratory failure. Dynamic assessments to guide fluid administration may improve outcomes for patients with septic shock compared with usual care. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT02837731.

Abstract
Over 300 million surgical procedures are performed every year worldwide. Anesthesiologists play an important role in the perioperative process by assessing the overall risk of surgery and aim to reduce the risk of complications. Perioperative hemodynamic and volume management can help to improve outcomes in perioperative patients. There has been ongoing discussion about goal-directed therapy. However, there is a consensus that fluid overload and severe fluid depletion in the perioperative period are harmful and can lead to adverse outcomes. This article provides an overview of how to evaluate the fluid responsiveness of patients, details which parameters could be used, and what limitations should be noted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperative resuscitation with large amounts of fluid may cause tissue edema, especially in the gut, and thereby impairing its functions. This is especially relevant in sepsis where capillaries become leaky and fluid rapidly escapes to the pericapillary tissue. We assessed the effects of endotoxemia and peritonitis, and the use of high and moderate volume fluid resuscitation on jejunal contractility. We hypothesized that both endotoxemia and peritonitis impair jejunum contractility and relaxation, and that this effect is aggravated in peritonitis and with high fluid administration. METHODS Pigs were randomized to endotoxin (n = 16), peritonitis (n = 16), or sham operation (n = 16), and either high (20 mL/kg/h) or moderate volume (10 mL/kg/h) fluid resuscitation for 24 h or until death. At the end of the experiment, jejunal contractility and relaxation were measured in vitro using acetylcholine and sodium nitroprusside reactivity, and the effect of nitric oxide synthase inhibition (NOS-I) was assessed. RESULTS Mortality in the respective groups was 88% (peritonitis high), 75% (endotoxemia high), 50% (peritonitis moderate), 13% (endotoxemia moderate and sham operation high), and 0% (sham operation moderate volume resuscitation). Although gut perfusion was preserved in all groups, jejunal contractility was impaired in the two peritonitis and two endotoxemia groups, and similarly also in the sham operation group treated with high but not with moderate volume fluid resuscitation (model-fluid-contraction-interaction, P = 0.036; maximal contractility 136 ± 28% [average of both peritonitis, both endotoxemia and sham operation high-volume groups) vs. 170 ± 74% of baseline [sham operation moderate-volume group]). NOS-I reduced contractility (contraction-inhibition-interaction, P = 0.011) without significant differences between groups and relaxation was affected neither by peritonitis and endotoxemia nor by the fluid regimen. CONCLUSIONS Intestinal contractility is similarly impaired during peritonitis and during endotoxemia. Moreover, perioperative high-volume fluid resuscitation in sham-operated animals also decreases intestinal contractility. This may have consequences for postoperative recovery.

Abstract
Introduction: Growing evidence suggests there is potential harm associated with excess fluid in critically ill children. This study aimed to evaluate the association between percentage fluid overload (%FO) and paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) mortality in children with severe sepsis and septic shock. Materials and Methods: Patients with severe sepsis and septic shock admitted to the PICU were identified through discharge codes. Data on clinical characteristics, fluid input and output were collected. %FO was calculated as: (total daily input - total daily output [L]/admission body weight [kg]) × 100. The primary outcome was PICU mortality. Secondary outcomes were 28-day ventilator-free days (VFD), intensive care unit-free days (IFD) and inotrope-free days (InoFD). Multivariate analysis adjusting for presence of comorbidities, Pediatric Index of Mortality (PIM) 2 score and multiorgan dysfunction were used to determine the association between cumulative %FO over 5 days and outcomes. Results: A total of 116 patients were identified, with a mortality rate of 28.4% (33/116). Overall median age was 105.9 (23.1-157.2) months. Cumulative %FO over 5 days was higher in non-survivors compared to survivors (median [interquartile range], 15.1 [6.3-27.1] vs 3.6 [0.7-11.1]%; P <0.001). Cumulative %FO was associated with increased mortality (adjusted odds ratio 1.08, 95% confidence interval 1.03-1.13; P = 0.001) and decreased VFD, IFD and InoFD (adjusted mean difference -0.37 [-0.53 - -0.21] days, -0.34 [-0.49 - -0.20] days, and -0.31 [-0.48 - -0.14] days, respectively). Conclusion: Cumulative %FO within the first 5 days of PICU stay was consistently and independently associated with poor clinical outcomes in children with severe sepsis and septic shock. Future studies are needed to test the impact of restrictive fluid strategies in these children.

Abstract
Sepsis is a dysregulated immune response to an infection that leads to organ dysfunction. Knowledge of the pathophysiology of organ failure in sepsis is crucial for optimizing the management and treatment of patients and for the development of potential new therapies. In clinical practice, six major organ systems - the cardiovascular (including the microcirculation), respiratory, renal, neurological, haematological and hepatic systems - can be assessed and monitored, whereas others, such as the gut, are less accessible. Over the past 2 decades, considerable amounts of new data have helped improve our understanding of sepsis pathophysiology, including the regulation of inflammatory pathways and the role played by immune suppression during sepsis. The effects of impaired cellular function, including mitochondrial dysfunction and altered cell death mechanisms, on the development of organ dysfunction are also being unravelled. Insights have been gained into interactions between key organs (such as the kidneys and the gut) and organ-organ crosstalk during sepsis. The important role of the microcirculation in sepsis is increasingly apparent, and new techniques have been developed that make it possible to visualize the microcirculation at the bedside, although these techniques are only research tools at present.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The prevalence of responsiveness to initial fluid challenge among hypotensive sepsis patients is unclear. To avoid fluid overload, and unnecessary treatment, it is important to differentiate these phenotypes. We aimed to 1) determine the proportion of hypotensive sepsis patients sustaining favorable hemodynamic response after initial fluid challenge, 2) determine demographic and clinical risk factors that predicted refractory hypotension, and 3) assess the association between timeliness of fluid resuscitation and refractoriness. DESIGN Secondary analysis of a prospective, multisite, observational, consecutive-sample cohort. SETTING Nine tertiary and community hospitals over 1.5 years. PATIENTS Inclusion criteria 1) suspected or confirmed infection, 2) greater than or equal to two systemic inflammatory response syndrome criteria, 3) systolic blood pressure less than 90 mm Hg, greater than 40% decrease from baseline, or mean arterial pressure less than 65 mm Hg. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Sex, age, heart failure, renal failure, immunocompromise, source of infection, initial lactate, coagulopathy, temperature, altered mentation, altered gas exchange, and acute kidney injury were used to generate a risk score. The primary outcome was sustained normotension after fluid challenge without vasopressor titration. Among 3,686 patients, 2,350 (64%) were fluid responsive. Six candidate risk factors significantly predicted refractoriness in multivariable analysis: heart failure (odds ratio, 1.43; CI, 1.20-1.72), hypothermia (odds ratio, 1.37; 1.10-1.69), altered gas exchange (odds ratio, 1.33; 1.12-1.57), initial lactate greater than or equal to 4.0 mmol/L (odds ratio, 1.28; 1.08-1.52), immunocompromise (odds ratio, 1.23; 1.03-1.47), and coagulopathy (odds ratio, 1.23; 1.03-1.48). High-risk patients (≥ three risk factors) had 70% higher (CI, 48-96%) refractory risk (19% higher absolute risk; CI, 14-25%) versus low-risk (zero risk factors) patients. Initiating fluids in greater than 2 hours also predicted refractoriness (odds ratio, 1.96; CI, 1.49-2.58). Mortality was 15% higher (CI, 10-18%) for refractory patients. CONCLUSIONS Two in three hypotensive sepsis patients were responsive to initial fluid resuscitation. Heart failure, hypothermia, immunocompromise, hyperlactemia, and coagulopathy were associated with the refractory phenotype. Fluid resuscitation initiated after the initial 2 hours more strongly predicted refractoriness than any patient factor tested.

Abstract
Intravenous fluids (IVFs) are the most common drugs administered in the intensive care unit. Despite the ubiquitous use, IVFs are not benign and carry significant risks associated with under- or overadministration. Hypovolemia is associated with decreased organ perfusion, ischemia, and multi-organ failure. Hypervolemia and volume overload are associated with organ dysfunction, delayed liberation from mechanical ventilation, and increased mortality. Despite appropriate provision of IVF, adverse drug effects such as electrolyte abnormalities and acid-base disturbances may occur. The management of volume status in critically ill patients is both dynamic and tenuous, a process that requires frequent monitoring and high clinical acumen. Because patient-specific considerations for fluid therapy evolve across the continuum of critical illness, a standard approach to the assessment of fluid needs and prescription of IVF therapy is necessary. We propose the principle of "fluid stewardship," guided by 4 rights of medication safety: right patient, right drug, right route, and right dose. The successful implementation of fluid stewardship will aid pharmacists in making decisions regarding IVF therapy to optimize hemodynamic management and improve patient outcomes. Additionally, we highlight several areas of focus for future research, guided by the 4 rights construct of fluid stewardship.

Abstract
Background In routine intensive care unit (ICU) practice, fluids are often administered without a safety limit, which may lead to fluid overload and decreased survival. Recently, B-lines score (BLS) has been validated as a lung ultrasound (LUS) quantification of pulmonary congestion. This suggests that LUS may provide a safety threshold to conduct fluid therapy and to avoid overhydration. However, there is no randomized study to test the utility of LUS in guiding fluid management in ICU patients by using a pre-specified BLS cut-off value as a threshold for fluid removal. Methods LUS Guided Fluid Management Protocol for the Critically Ill Patient is a prospective, multi-centre, randomized controlled trial. Five hundred ICU patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio, to protocolized LUS-based fluid management or usual care. The trial intervention will start on ICU admission and will consist in daily assessment of BLS and triggered evacuation of excessive fluids with loop diuretics (Furosemide) when BLS ≥ 15. If rebalancing volume status with diuretics fails, forced evacuation by ultrafiltration will be used. The main endpoint is death from all causes at 28 days from randomization. The secondary outcomes are presence and time-course evolution of organ dysfunctions, ICU- and hospital length of stay, all-cause mortality at 90 days, and health economics data. Discussion If study results will show that LUS guided fluid management protocol improves outcome in ICU patients, it will be the base for other studies to refine this protocol or track those categories of critically ill patients to whom it may bring maximum benefits.

Abstract
Background The effect of loop diuretic use in critically ill patients on vasopressor support or in shock is unclear. This study aimed to explore the relationship between loop diuretic use and hospital mortality in critically ill patients with vasopressor support. Methods Data were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III database. Adult patients with records of vasopressor use within 48 h after intensive care unit admission were screened. Multivariable logistic regression and propensity score matching was used to investigate any association. Results Data on 7828 patients were included. The crude hospital mortality was significantly lower in patients with diuretic use (166/1469 vs. 1171/6359, p < 0.001). In the extended multivariable logistic models, the odds ratio (OR) of diuretic use was consistently significant in all six models (OR range 0.56–0.75, p < 0.05 for all). In the subgroup analysis, an interaction effect was detected between diuretic use and fluid balance (FB). In the positive FB subgroup, diuretic use was significantly associated with decreased mortality (OR 0.64, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.51–0.78) but was insignificant in the negative FB subgroup. In the other subgroups of mean arterial pressure, maximum sequential organ failure assessment score, and lactate level, the association between diuretic use and mortality remained significant and no interaction was detected. After propensity score matching, 1463 cases from each group were well matched. The mortality remained significantly lower in the diuretic use group (165/1463 vs. 231/1463, p < 0.001). Conclusions Although residual confounding cannot be excluded, loop diuretic use is associated with lower mortality.
