[PMID: 38689952 PMCID: PMC11059505 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e28520] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2023] [Revised: 03/10/2024] [Accepted: 03/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose The recognition of sepsis as a heterogeneous syndrome necessitates identifying distinct subphenotypes to select targeted treatment. Methods Patients with sepsis from the MIMIC-IV database (2008-2019) were randomly divided into a development cohort (80%) and an internal validation cohort (20%). Patients with sepsis from the ICU database of Peking University People's Hospital (2008-2022) were included in the external validation cohort. Time-series k-means clustering analysis and dynamic time warping was performed to develop and validate sepsis subphenotypes by analyzing the trends of 21 vital signs and laboratory indicators within 24 h after sepsis onset. Inflammatory biomarkers were compared in the ICU database of Peking University People's Hospital, whereas treatment heterogeneity was compared in the MIMIC-IV database. Findings Three sub-phenotypes were identified in the development cohort. Type A patients (N = 2525, 47%) exhibited stable vital signs and fair organ function, type B (N = 1552, 29%) was exhibited an obvious inflammatory response and stable organ function, and type C (N = 1251, 24%) exhibited severely impaired organ function with a deteriorating tendency. Type C demonstrated the highest mortality rate (33%) and levels of inflammatory biomarkers, followed by type B (24%), whereas type A exhibited the lowest mortality rate (11%) and levels of inflammatory biomarkers. These subphenotypes were confirmed in both the internal and external cohorts, demonstrating similar features and comparable mortality rates. In type C patients, survivors had significantly lower fluid intake within 24 h after sepsis onset (median 2891 mL, interquartile range (IQR) 1530-5470 mL) than that in non-survivors (median 4342 mL, IQR 2189-7305 mL). For types B and C, survivors showed a higher proportion of indwelling central venous catheters (p < 0.05). Conclusion Three novel phenotypes of patients with sepsis were identified and validated using time-series data, revealing significant heterogeneity in inflammatory biomarkers, treatments, and consistency across cohorts.

Abstract
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 11 million people suffer from burns every year, and 180,000 die from them. A burn is a condition in which heat, chemical substances, an electrical current or other factors cause tissue damage. Burns mainly affect the skin, but can also affect deeper tissues such as bones or muscles. When burned, the skin loses its main functions, such as protection from the external environment, pathogens, evaporation and heat loss. Depending on the stage of the burn, the patient's condition and the cause of the burn, we need to choose the most appropriate treatment. Personalization and multidisciplinary collaboration are key to the successful management of burn patients. In this comprehensive review, we have collected and discussed the available treatment options, focusing on recent advances in topical treatments, wound cleansing, dressings, skin grafting, nutrition, pain and scar tissue management.

BMC Surg 2023; 23:162.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between intraoperative lactate levels and prognosis after emergency gastrointestinal surgery remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of intraoperative lactate levels for predicting in-hospital mortality, and to examine intraoperative hemodynamic managements. METHODS We conducted a retrospective observational study of emergency GI surgeries performed at our institution between 2011 and 2020. The study group comprised patients admitted to intensive care units postoperatively, and whose intraoperative and postoperative lactate levels were available. Intraoperative peak lactate levels (intra-LACs) were selected for analysis, and in-hospital mortality was set as the primary outcome. The prognostic value of intra-LAC was assessed using logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. RESULTS Of the 551 patients included in the study, 120 died postoperatively. Intra-LAC in the group who survived and the group that died was 1.80 [interquartile range [IQR], 1.19-3.01] mmol/L and 4.22 [IQR, 2.15-7.13] mmol/L (P < 0.001), respectively. Patients who died had larger volumes of red blood cell (RBC) transfusions and fluid administration, and were administered higher doses of vasoactive drugs. Logistic regression analysis showed that intra-LAC was an independent predictor of postoperative mortality (odds ratio [OR] 1.210, 95% CI 1.070 -1.360, P = 0.002). The volume of RBCs, fluids transfused, and the amount of vasoactive agents administered were not independent predictors. The area under the curve (AUC) of the ROC curve for intra-LAC for in-hospital mortality was 0.762 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.711-0.812), with a cutoff value of 3.68 mmol/L by Youden index. CONCLUSIONS Intraoperative lactate levels, but not hemodynamic management, were independently associated with increased in-hospital mortality after emergency GI surgery.

Effect of lung ultrasound-guided fluid deresuscitation on duration of ventilation in intensive care unit patients (CONFIDENCE): protocol for a multicentre randomised controlled trial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fluid therapy is a common intervention in critically ill patients. It is increasingly recognised that deresuscitation is an essential part of fluid therapy and delayed deresuscitation is associated with longer invasive ventilation and length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay. However, optimal timing and rate of deresuscitation remain unclear. Lung ultrasound (LUS) may be used to identify fluid overload. We hypothesise that daily LUS-guided deresuscitation is superior to deresuscitation without LUS in critically ill patients expected to undergo invasive ventilation for more than 24 h in terms of ventilator free-days and being alive at day 28. METHODS The "effect of lung ultrasound-guided fluid deresuscitation on duration of ventilation in intensive care unit patients" (CONFIDENCE) is a national, multicentre, open-label, randomised controlled trial (RCT) in adult critically ill patients that are expected to be invasively ventilated for at least 24 h. Patients with conditions that preclude a negative fluid balance or LUS examination are excluded. CONFIDENCE will operate in 10 ICUs in the Netherlands and enrol 1000 patients. After hemodynamic stabilisation, patients assigned to the intervention will receive daily LUS with fluid balance recommendations. Subjects in the control arm are deresuscitated at the physician's discretion without the use of LUS. The primary endpoint is the number of ventilator-free days and being alive at day 28. Secondary endpoints include the duration of invasive ventilation; 28-day mortality; 90-day mortality; ICU, in hospital and total length of stay; cumulative fluid balance on days 1-7 after randomisation and on days 1-7 after start of LUS examination; mean serum lactate on days 1-7; the incidence of reintubations, chest drain placement, atrial fibrillation, kidney injury (KDIGO stadium ≥ 2) and hypernatremia; the use of invasive hemodynamic monitoring, and chest-X-ray; and quality of life at day 28. DISCUSSION The CONFIDENCE trial is the first RCT comparing the effect of LUS-guided deresuscitation to routine care in invasively ventilated ICU patients. If proven effective, LUS-guided deresuscitation could improve outcomes in some of the most vulnerable and resource-intensive patients in a manner that is non-invasive, easy to perform, and well-implementable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intravenous fluids and vasopressor agents are commonly used in early resuscitation of patients with sepsis, but comparative data for prioritizing their delivery are limited. METHODS In an unblinded superiority trial conducted at 60 U.S. centers, we randomly assigned patients to either a restrictive fluid strategy (prioritizing vasopressors and lower intravenous fluid volumes) or a liberal fluid strategy (prioritizing higher volumes of intravenous fluids before vasopressor use) for a 24-hour period. Randomization occurred within 4 hours after a patient met the criteria for sepsis-induced hypotension refractory to initial treatment with 1 to 3 liters of intravenous fluid. We hypothesized that all-cause mortality before discharge home by day 90 (primary outcome) would be lower with a restrictive fluid strategy than with a liberal fluid strategy. Safety was also assessed. RESULTS A total of 1563 patients were enrolled, with 782 assigned to the restrictive fluid group and 781 to the liberal fluid group. Resuscitation therapies that were administered during the 24-hour protocol period differed between the two groups; less intravenous fluid was administered in the restrictive fluid group than in the liberal fluid group (difference of medians, -2134 ml; 95% confidence interval [CI], -2318 to -1949), whereas the restrictive fluid group had earlier, more prevalent, and longer duration of vasopressor use. Death from any cause before discharge home by day 90 occurred in 109 patients (14.0%) in the restrictive fluid group and in 116 patients (14.9%) in the liberal fluid group (estimated difference, -0.9 percentage points; 95% CI, -4.4 to 2.6; P = 0.61); 5 patients in the restrictive fluid group and 4 patients in the liberal fluid group had their data censored (lost to follow-up). The number of reported serious adverse events was similar in the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Among patients with sepsis-induced hypotension, the restrictive fluid strategy that was used in this trial did not result in significantly lower (or higher) mortality before discharge home by day 90 than the liberal fluid strategy.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Ideal fluid management of critically ill patients is maintaining an adequate perfusion pressure but avoiding venous congestion. Venous excess ultrasound score (VExUS) quantifies venous congestion to guide the management of fluid balance. RECENT FINDINGS VExUS of abdominal veins measures fluid tolerance and helps clinicians avoid congestion. VExUS scoring predicts the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) that is a common hospital problem resulting in higher mortality and morbidity. VExUS can predict patients at risk of developing AKI post cardiac surgery. VExUS has been associated with an increase in adverse outcomes in a general intensive care population. Hepatic vein ultrasound can manifest as a sequela of right heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. Intrarenal congestion suggests poorer prognosis in heart failure patients. VExUS score has been used in decision-making to remove fluid in patients with cardiorenal syndrome. VExUS scoring may help curtail overly aggressive fluid resuscitation for patients with septic shock and help avoid iatrogenic 'salt water drowning'. SUMMARY We summarize the technique and clinical practice of VExUS to help guide fluid balance across different populations of critically ill patients.

Abstract
Early detection and prompt reversal of sepsis-induced tissue hypoperfusion are key elements while treating patients with septic shock. Fluid administration is widely accepted as the first-line therapy followed by vasopressor use in persistently hypotensive patients or in those with insufficient arterial pressure to ensure adequate tissue perfusion. Recent evidence suggests a beneficial effect of combining fluids with vasopressors in the early phase of sepsis. Compared with fluids alone, combining fluids and vasopressors increases mean systemic pressure and venous return and corrects hypotension better. This approach also limits fluid overload, which is an independent factor of poor outcomes in sepsis. It produces less hemodilution than fluids alone. As a consequence of these effects, combined treatment may improve outcomes in septic shock patients.

Abstract
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. The optimal method to assess fluid overload in acute respiratory distress syndrome is not known, and current techniques have limitations. Plasma volume status has emerged as a noninvasive method to assess volume status and is defined as the percentage alteration from ideal plasma volume. We hypothesized that plasma volume status would suggest the presence of significant excess volume and therefore correlate with mortality in acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Abstract
PURPOSE Bolus intravenous administration of 0.9% saline has been associated with the development of pulmonary edema, and increased mortality. An animal model has previously demonstrated that rapid intravenous administration of 0.9% saline was associated with non-hydrostatic lung injury with increased lung lavage protein. We hypothesized that this non-hydrostatic effect would also occur in human volunteers. METHODS In a randomized, cross-over study of 14 healthy male subjects, the lung lavage protein concentration and cardiorespiratory effects of an intervention with rapid intravenous administration of 30 mL/kg of 0.9% saline were compared with sham intervention. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed after fluid administration. Doppler echocardiography, lung ultrasound, pulmonary function tests, and blood sampling were performed before and after each intervention. RESULTS The BAL total protein concentration was greater after 0.9% saline administration than with sham (196.1 µg/mL (SD 87.6) versus 129.8 µg/mL (SD 55.4), respectively (p = 0.020). Plasma angiopoietin-2 concentration was also increased to 2.26 ng/mL (SD 0.87) after 0.9% saline administration compared with sham 1.53 ng/mL (SD 0.69) (p < 0.001). There were small increases in stroke volume (from 58 mL (IQR 51-74) to 66 mL (IQR 58-74), p = 0.045) and Doppler echocardiography left ventricle E/e' ratio (from 5.0 (IQR 4.5-6.0) to 5.7 (IQR 5.3-6.3), p = 0.007), but no changes to right ventricular function. CONCLUSION Rapid intravenous administration of 0.9% saline leads to interstitial permeability pulmonary edema in healthy human volunteers. Further research is now warranted to understand these effects in critically ill patients.

High Central Venous Pressure after Cardiac Surgery Might Depict Hemodynamic Deterioration Associated with Increased Morbidity and Mortality. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10173945. [PMID: 34501390 PMCID: PMC8432196 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10173945] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2021] [Revised: 08/27/2021] [Accepted: 08/31/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Cardiac surgery patients represent a high-risk cohort in intensive care units (ICUs). Central venous pressure (CVP) measurement seems to remain an integral part in hemodynamic monitoring, especially in cardio-surgical ICUs. However, its value as a prognostic marker for organ failure is still unclear. Therefore, we analyzed postoperative CVP values after adult cardiac surgery in a large cohort with regard to its prognostic value for morbidity and mortality. Methods: All adult patients admitted to our ICUs between 2006 and 2019 after cardiac surgery were eligible for inclusion in the study (n = 11,198). We calculated the median initial CVP (miCVP) after admission to the ICU, which returned valid values for 9802 patients. An ROC curve analysis for optimal cut-off miCVP to predict ICU mortality was conducted with consecutive patient allocation into a (a) low miCVP (LCVP) group (≤11 mmHg) and (b) high miCVP (HCVP) group (>11 mmHg). We analyzed the impact of high miCVP on morbidity and mortality by propensity score matching (PSM) and logistic regression. Results: ICU mortality was increased in HCVP patients. In addition, patients in the HCVP group required longer mechanical ventilation, had a higher incidence of acute kidney injury, were more frequently treated with renal replacement therapy, and showed a higher risk for postoperative liver dysfunction, parametrized by a postoperative rise of ≥ 10 in MELD Score. Multiple regression analysis confirmed HCVP has an effect on postoperative ICU-mortality and intrahospital mortality, which seems to be independent. Conclusions: A high initial CVP in the early postoperative ICU course after cardiac surgery is associated with worse patient outcome. Whether or not CVP, as a readily and constantly available hemodynamic parameter, should promote clinical efforts regarding diagnostics and/or treatment, warrants further investigations.

Abstract
In critically ill patients, particularly in the setting of shock and sepsis volume management frequently results in a fluid overloaded state, requiring diuresis or intervention with renal replacement therapy. Achieving appropriate volume management requires knowledge of the underlying cardiovascular pathophysiology and careful evaluation of intravascular and extravascular volume status. In the presence of a failing kidney, fluid removal is often a challenge. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) techniques offer a significant advantage over intermittent dialysis for fluid control, however, any form of RRT in the critically ill patient requires careful attention to prescription and monitoring to avoid complications. In order to utilize these therapies for their maximum potential it is necessary to understand which factors influence fluid balance and have an understanding of the principles and kinetics of fluid removal with extra-corporeal techniques.

Abstract
In 30 years, adults 65 and older will represent 20% of the US population, with increased medical comorbidities leading to higher rates of critical illness and mortality. Despite significant acute illness, presenting symptoms and vital sign abnormalities may be subtle. Resuscitative guidelines are a helpful starting point but appropriate diagnostics, bedside ultrasound, and frequent reassessments are needed to avoid procrustean care that may worsen outcomes. Baseline functional status is as important as underlying comorbid conditions when prognosticating, and the patient's personal wishes should be sought early and throughout care with clear communication regarding prospects for immediate survival and overall recovery.

Abstract
Introduction The ultrasound measurement of inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter change during respiratory phase to guide fluid resuscitation in shock patients is widely performed, but the benefit on reducing the mortality of sepsis patients is questionable. The study objective was to evaluate the 30-day mortality rate of patients with sepsis-induced tissue hypoperfusion (SITH) and septic shock (SS) treated with ultrasound-guided fluid management (UGFM) using ultrasonographic change of the IVC diameter during respiration compared with those treated with the usual-care strategy. Methods This was a randomized controlled trial conducted in an urban, university-affiliated tertiary-care hospital. Adult patients with SITH/SS were randomized to receive treatment with UGFM using respiratory change of the IVC (UGFM strategy) or with the usual-care strategy during the first six hours after emergency department (ED) arrival. We compared the 30-day mortality rate and other clinical outcomes between the two groups. Results A total of 202 patients were enrolled, 101 in each group (UGFM vs usual-care strategy) for intention-to-treat analysis. There was no significant difference in 30-day overall mortality between the two groups (18.8% and 19.8% in the usual-care and UGFM strategy, respectively; p > 0.05 by log rank test). Neither was there a difference in six-hour lactate clearance, a change in the sequential organ failure assessment score, or length of hospital stay. However, the cumulative fluid amount given in 24 hours was significantly lower in the UGFM arm. Conclusion In our ED setting, the use of respiratory change of IVC diameter determined by point-of-care ultrasound to guide initial fluid resuscitation in SITH/SS ED patients did not improve the 30-day survival probability or other clinical parameters compared to the usual-care strategy. However, the IVC ultrasound-guided resuscitation was associated with less amount of fluid used.

Abstract
PURPOSE Limited data exist on the utility of ultrasonographic evaluation of inferior vena cava (IVC) in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We studied the value of IVC diameter in assessing cardio-circulatory performance in ARDS using strain echocardiography. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective cross-sectional analysis of Doppler echocardiograms of patients with moderate-severe ARDS was performed. Right ventricle (RV) parameters, IVC diameter, and left ventricle (LV) systolic and diastolic parameters were collected. RV free wall strain (RVFWS) and LV global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) were calculated. RESULTS Fifty-one patients were dichotomized into two groups: with IVC > 2.1 cm (dilated) and with IVC ≤ 2.1 cm (nondilated). The dilated IVC group presented worse hypoxemic profile, hypotension, and poor perfusion markers. No significant associations with positive end-expiratory pressure or lung mechanics were observed. Dilated IVC was associated with impaired RV function, high central venous pressure, elevated pulmonary artery pressure, and LV systolic and diastolic dysfunctions. Strongest predictors of a dilated IVC were RVFWS, LVGLS, and tissue Doppler mitral annular early diastolic velocity. Dilated IVC predicted a global cardiac dysfunction defined by strain echocardiography (GCDS) with high sensitivity and specificity. CONCLUSIONS In ARDS, strain echocardiography analyses demonstrated that a dilated IVC is associated with GCDS and impaired hemodynamics independent of lung mechanics. A dilated IVC should be considered a marker of circulatory distress, signaling the potential necessity for improved hemodynamic optimization.

Abstract
Impaired tissue oxygen delivery is a major cause of organ damage and failure in critically ill patients, which can occur even when systemic parameters, including cardiac output and arterial hemoglobin saturation, are close to normal. This review addresses oxygen transport mechanisms at the microcirculatory scale, and how hypoxia may occur in spite of adequate convective oxygen supply. The structure of the microcirculation is intrinsically heterogeneous, with wide variations in vessel diameters and flow pathway lengths, and consequently also in blood flow rates and oxygen levels. The dynamic processes of structural adaptation and flow regulation continually adjust microvessel diameters to compensate for heterogeneity, redistributing flow according to metabolic needs to ensure adequate tissue oxygenation. A key role in flow regulation is played by conducted responses, which are generated and propagated by endothelial cells and signal upstream arterioles to dilate in response to local hypoxia. Several pathophysiological conditions can impair local flow regulation, causing hypoxia and tissue damage leading to organ failure. Therapeutic measures targeted to systemic parameters may not address or may even worsen tissue oxygenation at the microvascular level. Restoration of tissue oxygenation in critically ill patients may depend on restoration of endothelial cell function, including conducted responses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To determine total sodium load, including inadvertent load, during the first 2 postnatal weeks, and its influence on serum sodium, morbidity, and mortality in extremely low birth weight (ELBW, birth weight <1000 g) infants and to calculate sodium replacement models. METHODS Retrospective data analysis on ELBW infants with a gestational age <28 + 0/7 weeks. RESULTS Ninety patients with a median birth weight of 718 g and a median gestational age of 24 + 6/7 weeks were included. Median sodium intake during the first 2 postnatal weeks was 10.2 mmol/kg/day, which was significantly higher than recommended (2-5 mmol/kg/day). Sodium intake did not affect the risk for hypernatremia. Each mmol of sodium intake during the first postnatal week was associated with an increased risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (45%) and higher-grade intraventricular hemorrhage (31%), during the second postnatal week for necrotizing enterocolitis (19%), and during both postnatal weeks of mortality (13%). Calculations of two sodium replacement models resulted in a decrease in sodium intake during the first postnatal week of 3.2 and 4.0 mmol/kg/day, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Sodium load during the first 2 postnatal weeks of ELBW infants was significantly higher than recommended owing to inadvertent sodium intake and was associated with a higher risk of subsequent morbidity and mortality, although the study design does not allow conclusions on causality. Replacement of 0.9% saline with alternative carrier solutions might reduce sodium intake. IMPACT Sodium intake in ELBW infants during the first 2 postnatal weeks was twofold to threefold higher than recommended; this was mainly caused by inadvertent sodium components. High sodium intake is not related to severe hypernatremia but might be associated with a higher morbidity in terms of BPD, IVH, and NEC. Inadvertent sodium load can be reduced by replacing high sodium-containing carrier solutions with high levels of sodium with alternative hypotonic and/or balanced fluids, model based.

Abstract
Background The effect of the timing of norepinephrine initiation on clinical outcomes in patients with septic shock is uncertain. A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the impact of early and late start of norepinephrine support on clinical outcomes in patients with septic shock. Methods We searched the PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies from inception to the 1st of March 2020. We included studies involving adult patients (> 18 years) with septic shock. All authors reported our primary outcome of short-term mortality and clearly comparing early versus late norepinephrine initiation with clinically relevant secondary outcomes (ICU length of stay, time to achieved target mean arterial pressure (≥ 65 mmHg), and volume of intravenous fluids within 6 h). Results were expressed as odds ratio (OR) and mean difference (MD) with accompanying 95% confidence interval (CI). Results Five studies including 929 patients were included. The primary outcome of this meta-analysis showed that the short-term mortality of the early group was lower than that of the late group (odds ratio [OR] = 0.45; 95% CI, 0.34 to 0.61; P < 0.00001; χ2 = 3.74; I2 = 0%). Secondary outcomes demonstrated that the time to achieved target MAP of the early group was shorter than that of the late group (mean difference = − 1.39; 95% CI, − 1.81 to − 0.96; P < 0.00001; χ2 = 1.03; I2 = 0%). The volume of intravenous fluids within 6 h of the early group was less than that of the late group (mean difference = − 0.50; 95% CI, − 0.68 to − 0.32; P < 0.00001; χ2 = 33.76; I2 = 94%). There was no statistically significant difference in the ICU length of stay between the two groups (mean difference = − 0.11; 95% CI, − 1.27 to 1.05; P = 0.86; χ2 = 0.85; I2 = 0%). Conclusions Early initiation of norepinephrine in patients with septic shock was associated with decreased short-term mortality, shorter time to achieved target MAP, and less volume of intravenous fluids within 6 h. There was no significant difference in ICU length of stay between early and late groups. Further large-scale RCTs are still required to confirm these results.

Increase in Central Venous Pressure During Passive Leg Raising Cannot Detect Preload Unresponsiveness. Crit Care Med 2020; 48:e684-e689.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE By analogy with the classical central venous pressure rules to assess a fluid challenge, we hypothesized that an increase in central venous pressure greater than or equal to 5 cm H2O (i.e., 4 mm Hg) during passive leg raising can predict preload unresponsiveness diagnosed by the absence of increase in velocity-time integral of the left ventricular outflow tract greater than or equal to 10% during the test (negative passive leg raising test). DESIGN AND SETTINGS Velocity-time integral was measured by transthoracic echocardiography. Central venous pressure and velocity-time integral were measured before and during passive leg raising. PATIENTS Critically ill patients for whom the physician decided to test preload responsiveness by passive leg raising were prospectively included. MEASUREMENT AND MAIN RESULTS Fifty-seven set of measurements were performed in 50 patients. Preload unresponsiveness (negative passive leg raising test) was observed in 32 cases. The changes in central venous pressure during passive leg raising did not differ between positive passive leg raising cases (positive passive leg raising test) and negative passive leg raising test cases (3 ± 2 vs 3 ± 2 mm Hg, respectively) and thus did not predict preload unresponsiveness (area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve of 0.59). An increase in central venous pressure greater than or equal to 4 mm Hg during passive leg raising was observed in 10 cases of positive passive leg raising test and in 11 cases of negative passive leg raising test. Taking an increase in central venous pressure greater than or equal to 3 or greater than or equal to 5 mm Hg rather than greater than or equal to 4 mm Hg during passive leg raising did not better allow one to identify negative passive leg raising test. CONCLUSIONS Marked increase in central venous pressure during passive leg raising cannot identify negative passive leg raising test cases and thus preload unresponsiveness. Measurements of cardiac output (or its surrogates) during passive leg raising are, thus, mandatory to appropriately interpret this test.

Abstract
The effect of intravenous fluids (IVF) has been investigated clinically through the assessment of post-treatment reactions. However, the responses to IVF vary from patient-to-patient. It is important to understand the response of IVF treatment to be able to provide optimal IVF care. Herein, we investigated the impact of commonly used IVFs, Dextrose, NaCl and Ringer on different human cancer (HepG2 (liver hepatocellular carcinoma) and MCF7 (breast adenocarcinoma)) and immune cell lines (U937 (lymphoma) monocyte and macrophages). The effect of IVF exposure on single cells was characterized using hemocytometer, fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. Quantitative data on the viability and morphology of the cells were obtained. Our results emphasize that different IVFs demonstrate important differences in how they influence distinct cell lines. Particularly, we observed that the lactated ringer and dextrose solutions altered the viability and nuclear size of cancer and immune cells differently. Our findings present valuable information to the knowledge of cellular-level IVF effects for further investigations in IVF usage on diverse patient populations and support the importance and necessity of developing optimal diluents not only for drug stability but also for patient benefits.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Rapid fluid resuscitation has become standard in sepsis care, despite "low-quality" evidence and absence of guidelines for populations "at risk" for volume overload. Our objectives include as follows: 1) identify predictors of reaching a 30 mL/kg crystalloid bolus within 3 hours of sepsis onset (30by3); 2) assess the impact of 30by3 and fluid dosing on clinical outcomes; 3) examine differences in perceived "at-risk" volume-sensitive populations, including end-stage renal disease, heart failure, obesity, advanced age, or with documentation of volume "overload" by bedside examination. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. All outcome analyses controlled for sex, end-stage renal disease, heart failure, sepsis severity (severe sepsis vs septic shock), obesity, Mortality in Emergency Department Sepsis score, and time to antibiotics. SETTING Urban, tertiary care center between January 1, 2014, and May 31, 2017. PATIENTS Emergency Department treated adults (age ≥18 yr; n = 1,032) with severe sepsis or septic shock. INTERVENTIONS Administration of IV fluids by bolus. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS In total, 509 patients received 30by3 (49.3%). Overall mortality was 17.1% (n = 176), with 20.4% mortality in the shock group. Patients who were elderly (odds ratio, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.46-0.83), male (odds ratio, 0.66; CI, 0.49-0.87), obese (odds ratio, 0.18; CI, 0.13-0.25), or with end-stage renal disease (odds ratio, 0.23; CI, 0.13-0.40), heart failure (odds ratio, 0.42; CI, 0.29-0.60), or documented volume "overload" (odds ratio, 0.30; CI, 0.20-0.45) were less likely to achieve 30by3. Failure to meet 30by3 had increased odds of mortality (odds ratio, 1.52; CI, 1.03-2.24), delayed hypotension (odds ratio, 1.42; CI, 1.02-1.99), and increased ICU stay (~2 d) (β = 2.0; CI, 0.5-3.6), without differential effects for "at-risk" groups. Higher fluid volumes administered by 3 hours correlated with decreased mortality, with a plateau effect between 35 and 45 mL/kg (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Failure to reach 30by3 was associated with increased odds of in-hospital mortality, irrespective of comorbidities. Predictors of inadequate resuscitation can be identified, potentially leading to interventions to improve survival. These findings are retrospective and require future validation.

Abstract
Intravenous fluid administration should be considered as any other pharmacological prescription. There are three main indications: resuscitation, replacement, and maintenance. Moreover, the impact of fluid administration as drug diluent or to preserve catheter patency, i.e., fluid creep, should also be considered. As for antibiotics, intravenous fluid administration should follow the four Ds: drug, dosing, duration, de-escalation. Among crystalloids, balanced solutions limit acid–base alterations and chloride load and should be preferred, as this likely prevents renal dysfunction. Among colloids, albumin, the only available natural colloid, may have beneficial effects. The last decade has seen growing interest in the potential harms related to fluid overloading. In the perioperative setting, appropriate fluid management that maintains adequate organ perfusion while limiting fluid administration should represent the standard of care. Protocols including a restrictive continuous fluid administration alongside bolus administration to achieve hemodynamic targets have been proposed. A similar approach should be considered also for critically ill patients, in whom increased endothelial permeability makes this strategy more relevant. Active de-escalation protocols may be necessary in a later phase. The R.O.S.E. conceptual model (Resuscitation, Optimization, Stabilization, Evacuation) summarizes accurately a dynamic approach to fluid therapy, maximizing benefits and minimizing harms. Even in specific categories of critically ill patients, i.e., with trauma or burns, fluid therapy should be carefully applied, considering the importance of their specific aims; maintaining peripheral oxygen delivery, while avoiding the consequences of fluid overload.

Rev Bras Ter Intensiva 2020; 32:99-107. [PMID: 32401993 PMCID: PMC7206954 DOI: 10.5935/0103-507x.20200015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2019] [Accepted: 11/19/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess whether fluid overload in fluid therapy is a prognostic factor for patients with septic shock when adjusted for lactate clearance goals. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study conducted at a level IV care hospital in Bogotá, Colombia. A cohort of patients with septic shock was assembled. Their characteristics and fluid balance were documented. The patients were stratified by exposure levels according to the magnitude of fluid overload by body weight after 24 hours of therapy. Mortality was determined at 30 days, and an unconditional logistic regression model was created, adjusting for confounders. The statistical significance was established at p ≤ 0.05. RESULTS There were 213 patients with septic shock, and 60.8% had a lactate clearance ≥ 50% after treatment. Ninety-seven (46%) patients developed fluid overload ≥ 5%, and only 30 (13%) developed overload ≥ 10%. Patients exhibiting fluid overload ≥ 5% received an average of 6227mL of crystalloids (SD ± 5838mL) in 24 hours, compared to 3978mL (SD ± 3728mL) among unexposed patients (p = 0.000). The patients who developed fluid overload were treated with mechanical ventilation (70.7% versus 50.8%) (p = 0.003), albumin (74.7% versus 55.2%) (p = 0.003) and corticosteroids (53.5% versus 35.0%) (p = 0.006) more frequently than those who did not develop fluid overload. In the multivariable analysis, cumulative fluid balance was not associated with mortality (OR 1.03; 95%CI 0.89 - 1.20). CONCLUSIONS Adjusting for the severity of the condition and adequate lactate clearance, cumulative fluid balance was not associated with increased mortality in this Latin American cohort of septic patients.

In training emergency physicians the carotid artery Doppler with passive leg raise, does previous sonographic experience influence scan time and competency? Australas J Ultrasound Med 2020; 24:20-26. [PMID: 34760607 DOI: 10.1002/ajum.12204] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2019] [Revised: 01/20/2020] [Accepted: 01/27/2020] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Determination of fluid responsiveness (FR) associated with intravascular fluid resuscitation in hypotensive patients poses a challenge, with current best evidence methods fraught with poor retest reliability and difficulty in image acquisition (Osman, Crit Care Med 2007; 35: 64; Marik, Crit Care Med 2009; 37: 2642). Doppler carotid blood flow with passive leg raise (PLR) is a recent modality for determining FR (Marik, Chest 2013; 143: 364). Purpose This study aimed to determine whether emergency physicians with limited ultrasound experience can reliably acquire this skill. Method This prospective study recruited 60 emergency physicians with varying experience, who underwent a 3-step learning programme. Participants performed carotid velocity time integral (VTi) Doppler on healthy subjects, followed by repeat measurements in the PLR position. A 16-point checklist and time recorded were assessed for each sonographer, with each participant completing a post-study questionnaire to evaluate perceived competence and ease of skill acquisition. Results Of the 60 emergency physicians recruited, 37 (61.6%) were inexperienced and 23 (38.4%) were experienced. Against the 16-point assessment, 61% completed assessment without any errors. Fifty-six out of 60 (94.3%) completed the assessment to acceptable standard with errors recognised and corrected, and four participants (6.7%) made critical errors without correction (Figure 1). Average (±SEM) total scan time was 4:52 ± 0:19, with no significant difference found between inexperienced and experienced groups. Conclusions This study demonstrated feasibility to train emergency physicians, demonstrating that average FR assessment was obtained within 5 min, with no difference between prior experience in scan quality/time taken. 94% completed the scan to acceptable standards, demonstrating ease of carotid Doppler flow with PLR to provide critical information in management of the hypotensive patient.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES It is unclear if a low- or high-volume IV fluid resuscitation strategy is better for patients with severe sepsis and septic shock. DESIGN Prospective randomized controlled trial. SETTING Two adult acute care hospitals within a single academic system. PATIENTS Patients with severe sepsis and septic shock admitted from the emergency department to the ICU from November 2016 to February 2018. INTERVENTIONS Patients were randomly assigned to a restrictive IV fluid resuscitation strategy (≤ 60 mL/kg of IV fluid) or usual care for the first 72 hours of care. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS We enrolled 109 patients, of whom 55 were assigned to the restrictive resuscitation group and 54 to the usual care group. The restrictive group received significantly less resuscitative IV fluid than the usual care group (47.1 vs 61.1 mL/kg; p = 0.01) over 72 hours. By 30 days, there were 12 deaths (21.8%) in the restrictive group and 12 deaths (22.2%) in the usual care group (odds ratio, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.41-2.53). There were no differences between groups in the rate of new organ failure, hospital or ICU length of stay, or serious adverse events. CONCLUSIONS This pilot study demonstrates that a restrictive resuscitation strategy can successfully reduce the amount of IV fluid administered to patients with severe sepsis and septic shock compared with usual care. Although limited by the sample size, we observed no increase in mortality, organ failure, or adverse events. These findings further support that a restrictive IV fluid strategy should be explored in a larger multicenter trial.

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
OBJECTIVE In septic patients, multiple retrospective studies show an association between large volumes of fluids administered in the first 24 h and mortality, suggesting a benefit to fluid restrictive strategies. However, these studies do not directly estimate the causal effects of fluid-restrictive strategies, nor do their analyses properly adjust for time-varying confounding by indication. In this study, we used causal inference techniques to estimate mortality outcomes that would result from imposing a range of arbitrary limits ("caps") on fluid volume administration during the first 24 h of intensive care unit (ICU) care. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study SETTING: ICUs at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, 2008-2012 PATIENTS: One thousand six hundred thirty-nine septic patients (defined by Sepsis-3 criteria) 18 years and older, admitted to the ICU from the emergency department (ED), who received less than 4 L fluids administered prior to ICU admission MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Data were obtained from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III). We employed a dynamic Marginal Structural Model fit by inverse probability of treatment weighting to obtain confounding adjusted estimates of mortality rates that would have been observed had fluid resuscitation volume caps between 4 L-12 L been imposed on the population. The 30-day mortality in our cohort was 17%. We estimated that caps between 6 and 10 L on 24 h fluid volume would have reduced 30-day mortality by - 0.6 to - 1.0%, with the greatest reduction at 8 L (- 1.0% mortality, 95% CI [- 1.6%, - 0.3%]). CONCLUSIONS We found that 30-day mortality would have likely decreased relative to observed mortality under current practice if these patients had been subject to "caps" on the total volume of fluid administered between 6 and 10 L, with the greatest reduction in mortality rate at 8 L.

Abstract
As vascular tone depression is a hallmark of septic shock, administration of norepinephrine is logical in this setting. In this article, we provide and develop the following arguments for an early use of norepinephrine-the recommended first-line vasopressor-in septic shock: (I) prevention of prolonged severe hypotension, (II) increase in cardiac output through an increase in cardiac preload and/or contractility, (III) improvement of microcirculation and tissue oxygenation, (IV) prevention of fluid overload, and (V) improvement of outcome. Presence of a low diastolic arterial pressure as a marker of depressed vascular tone can be used as a trigger to initiate norepinephrine urgently.

Abstract
Fluid therapy to restore and/or maintain tissue perfusion may affect patient outcomes in perioperative, emergency, and intensive care. Kinetic analyses and outcome-oriented studies have provided more insight into fluid management. Crystalloids are slowly distributed to the interstitial space, and the efficiency (proportion of infused fluid retained in the bloodstream) is 50%−75% as long as infusion continues and may increase up to 100% when the arterial pressure has decreased. Elimination of the infused fluid during general anesthesia and surgery is very slow, amounting to only 10%–20% compared with that in conscious patients. When the endothelial glycocalyx layer is degraded in sepsis or trauma-induced systemic inflammation, turnover of colloids and crystalloids is accelerated and the efficiency is reduced, which may lead to tissue edema, inflammation, poor wound healing, and organ dysfunction. Balanced crystalloids are pragmatic initial resuscitation fluids and improve patient outcomes compared to saline (0.9% sodium chloride). Albumin may be beneficial, but other synthetic colloids appear to increase the risk of acute kidney injury and death among patients in the intensive care unit. Fluid kinetics is likely to change based on patient physiological conditions (e.g., general anesthesia, surgery, stress, dehydration, blood pressure, or inflammation) and fluid types. To maximize efficacy and minimize iatrogenic side effects, fluids should be prescribed based on individual patient factors, disease states, and other treatment remedies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in severely injured trauma patients and is associated with poor outcomes. A positive fluid balance is associated with AKI and poor long-term renal outcomes among general ICU and cardiac surgery patients. Currently, the optimal endpoint of resuscitation of severely injured trauma patients is unknown, which may result in excess fluid administration. We hypothesized that positive fluid balance is common after severe trauma and is associated with increased AKI development. STUDY DESIGN A cohort study of adult (≥16 years old) trauma patients requiring ICU admission from January 2017 to June of 2017 was conducted. Patients were excluded for early death, rhabdomyolysis, or previous history of end-stage renal disease or congestive heart failure. Acute kidney injury within 7 days of admission was defined according to Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes creatinine-based criteria. Univariate and multivariable analyses were performed. RESULTS Of 364 patients, 74% were male. The median age was 41 years (interquartile range [IQR] 27 to 59 years), and the median Injury Severity Score (ISS) was 18 (IQR 10 to 29). Positive fluid balance (>2 L) was observed in 49% of patients. Acute kidney injury was diagnosed in 105 (29%) patients. After adjustment, there was an increased risk of AKI with a positive fluid balance >2 L (relative risk [RR] 1.98 [95% CI 1.24 to 3.17]). Additionally, the risk of AKI incrementally increased by 1.22 with each liter fluid positive above a zero balance (95% CI 1.11 to 1.34). CONCLUSIONS Positive fluid balance in excess of 2 L at 48 hours occurs in half of severely injured trauma patients, and fluid positivity is independently and incrementally associated with AKI development. Fluid responsiveness should be investigated as an end point of post-traumatic resuscitation to prevent unnecessary fluid administration and subsequent AKI.

Abstract
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has found many relevant applications in pediatric anesthesia and critical care medicine. Specifically, the cardiac and pulmonary POCUS examinations provide a wealth of information from physical examination assistance to diagnostic evaluation and assessment of treatment response. However, as with any adjunct, potentially dangerous pitfalls exist when POCUS is performed, interpreted, and applied by the novice sonographer. Using case illustrations, we highlight the clinical application of POCUS in addition to potential dangers. Additionally, suggestions for learning POCUS, assessing competency and credentialing are reviewed.

Abstract
Background: We analyzed the correlation between heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (HFABP) and the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with sepsis and estimated the predictive capacity of HFABP for sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SAKI). Methods: In this retrospective observational study, we screened 2,452 patients who received the HFABP test in the emergency department. 442 admitted patients with sepsis were finally enrolled. Based on the diagnostic criteria for AKI in Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines, patients were divided into the no-AKI group (n = 317) and AKI group (n = 125). We analyzed the correlation between HFABP and SAKI occurrence by logistic regression analysis and evaluated the predictive ability of HFABP to SAKI using c-index, net reclassification improvement index (NRI) and integrated discrimination improvement index (IDI). Results: Patients in the AKI group with significantly higher the level of HFABP and in-hospital mortality. HFABP concentration is an independent risk factor for SAKI (OR: 11.398; 95% CI: 6.218-20.891, P < 0.001), but not for in-hospital mortality (OR: 1.189, 95%CI: 0.954-2.607, P = 0.076). The addition of HFABP to the prediction model significantly improved the ROC area (0.867 vs 0.755, P < 0.001), NRI 25.03% (95% CI 9.72-38.51%) and IDI 14.33 (95% CI 11.04-17.62). Conclusion: Serum HFABP is correlated with SAKI development and could become a potential predictive biomarker.

Abstract
Background Recent studies in haemodynamic management have focused on fluid management and assessed its effects in terms of increase in cardiac output based on fluid challenges or variations in pulse pressure caused by cyclical positive pressure ventilation. The theoretical scope may be characterised as Starling-oriented. This approach ignores the actual events of right-sided excitation and left-sided response which is consistently described in a Guyton-oriented model of the cardiovascular system. Aim Based on data from a previous study, we aim to elucidate the primary response to crystalloid and colloid fluids in terms of cardiac output, mean blood pressure and right atrial pressure as well as derived and efficiency variables defined in terms of Guyton venous return physiology. Method Re-analyses of previously published data. Results Cardiac output invariably increased on infusion of crystalloid and colloid solutions, whereas static and dynamic efficiency measures declined in spite of increasing pressure gradient for venous return. Discussion We argue that primary as well as derived and efficiency measures should be reported and discussed when haemodynamic studies are reported involving fluid administrations.

Abstract
This study describes the use of vasopressors in critically ill cats. Records of 41 cats hospitalized in the ICU were evaluated. Signalment, blood pressure, underlying conditions, evidence of sepsis, type of treatment (surgical versus non-surgical), vasopressor type and duration, adverse events attributed to vasopressors, and survival were recorded. Twenty-one cats (51%) had an underlying disease considered amenable to surgical treatment while 20 (49%) cats did not. Evidence of sepsis was present in 24 (59%) cats. Thirty-four cats developed a Doppler blood pressure (DBP) > 80 mmHg during therapy, and 29 cats became normotensive (DBP > 90 mmHg). Seven cats did not increase their DBP to > 80 mmHg. All cats received dopamine and/or norepinephrine and 6 cats also received other vasopressors. Sixteen cats survived (39%). Surgical intervention was associated with a higher survival (P = 0.004). Critically ill hypotensive cats may benefit from administration of vasopressors.

Point-of-Care Ultrasound Identifies Decompensated Heart Failure in a Young Male with Methamphetamine-Associated Cardiomyopathy Presenting in Severe Sepsis to the Emergency Department. Case Rep Emerg Med 2018; 2018:2859676.

Abstract
We describe a case of a young male who presents to the emergency department with severe sepsis and decompensated heart failure with underlying Methamphetamine-Associated Cardiomyopathy that was previously undiagnosed. This presentation is unique because Methamphetamine-Associated Cardiomyopathy is an uncommonly reported condition that presented in a complex clinical scenario of severe sepsis and decompensated congestive heart failure. We discuss how we used point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in this case to identify an unsuspected disease process and how it changed our initial resuscitation strategy and management. Emergency physicians can utilize point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) to help identify these high-risk patients in the emergency department and guide appropriate resuscitation. Methamphetamine-Associated Cardiomyopathy (MAC) is an infrequently described complication of methamphetamine abuse, most commonly presented as a nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy. With the rise in methamphetamine abuse in the United States, complications from methamphetamine use are more commonly presenting to the emergency department. Proper education and rehabilitation, with a goal of abstinence from amphetamine use, may allow patients to potentially regain normal cardiac function. Since the majority of patients present late with severe cardiac dysfunction, early detection is essential amongst critically ill patients since recognition may significantly influence ED management.

Abstract
The central venous pressure (CVP) is traditionally used as a surrogate of intravascular volume. CVP measurements therefore are often applied at the bedside to guide fluid administration in postoperative and critically ill patients. Pursuing high CVP levels has recently been challenged. A high CVP might impede venous return to the heart and disturb microcirculatory blood flow which may cause tissue congestion and organ failure. By imposing an increased "afterload" on the kidney, an elevated CVP will particularly harm kidney hemodynamics and promote acute kidney injury (AKI) even in the absence of volume overload. Maintaining the lowest possible CVP should become routine to prevent and treat AKI, especially when associated with septic shock, cardiac surgery, mechanical ventilation, and intra-abdominal hypertension.

Abstract
Background: In general, patients with sepsis die from the host response to the infecting pathogen rather than from the infecting pathogen itself. Four patterns of death have been identified in sepsis, namely vasoplegic shock, single-organ respiratory failure (acute respiratory distress syndrome [ARDS]), multi-system organ failure (MSOF), and persistent MSOF with ongoing inflammation and immunosuppression with recurrent infections (persistent inflammation-immunosuppression and catabolism syndrome [PICS]). To improve the outcome of sepsis adjunctive therapies that modulate the immune system have been tested; these therapies that have targeted specific molecules or pathways have universally failed. Conclusion: We propose that the combination of hydrocortisone, intravenous ascorbic acid, and thiamine (HAT therapy), which synergistically targets multiple pathways, restores the dysregulated immune system and organ injury, and reduces the risk of death and organ failure following sepsis.

Abstract
In patients with septic shock, the administration of fluids during initial hemodynamic resuscitation remains a major therapeutic challenge. We are faced with many open questions regarding the type, dose and timing of intravenous fluid administration. There are only four major indications for intravenous fluid administration: aside from resuscitation, intravenous fluids have many other uses including maintenance and replacement of total body water and electrolytes, as carriers for medications and for parenteral nutrition. In this paradigm-shifting review, we discuss different fluid management strategies including early adequate goal-directed fluid management, late conservative fluid management and late goal-directed fluid removal. In addition, we expand on the concept of the “four D’s” of fluid therapy, namely drug, dosing, duration and de-escalation. During the treatment of patients with septic shock, four phases of fluid therapy should be considered in order to provide answers to four basic questions. These four phases are the resuscitation phase, the optimization phase, the stabilization phase and the evacuation phase. The four questions are “When to start intravenous fluids?”, “When to stop intravenous fluids?”, “When to start de-resuscitation or active fluid removal?” and finally “When to stop de-resuscitation?” In analogy to the way we handle antibiotics in critically ill patients, it is time for fluid stewardship.

Abstract
Prompt intravenous fluid therapy is a fundamental treatment for patients with septic shock. However, the optimal approach for administering intravenous fluid in septic shock resuscitation is unknown. Two competing strategies are emerging: a liberal fluids approach, consisting of a larger volume of initial fluid (50 to 75 mL/kg [4 to 6 L in an 80-kg adult] during the first 6 hours) and later use of vasopressors, versus a restrictive fluids approach, consisting of a smaller volume of initial fluid (≤30 mL/kg [≤2 to 3 L]), with earlier reliance on vasopressor infusions to maintain blood pressure and perfusion. Early fluid therapy may enhance or maintain tissue perfusion by increasing venous return and cardiac output. However, fluid administration may also have deleterious effects by causing edema within vital organs, leading to organ dysfunction and impairment of oxygen delivery. Conversely, a restrictive fluids approach primarily relies on vasopressors to reverse hypotension and maintain perfusion while limiting the administration of fluid. Both strategies have some evidence to support their use but lack robust data to confirm the benefit of one strategy over the other, creating clinical and scientific equipoise. As part of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Prevention and Early Treatment of Acute Lung Injury Network, we designed a randomized clinical trial to compare the liberal and restrictive fluids strategies, the Crystalloid Liberal or Vasopressor Early Resuscitation in Sepsis trial. The purpose of this article is to review the current literature on approaches to early fluid resuscitation in adults with septic shock and outline the rationale for the upcoming trial.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The past decade has seen more advances in our understanding of fluid therapy than the preceding decades combined. What was once thought to be a relatively benign panacea is increasingly being recognized as a potent pharmacological and physiological intervention that may pose as much harm as benefit. RECENT FINDINGS Recent studies have clearly indicated that the amount, type, and timing of fluid administration have profound effects on patient morbidity and outcomes. The practice of aggressive volume resuscitation for 'renal protection' and 'hemodynamic support' may in fact be contributing to end organ dysfunction. The practice of early goal-directed therapy for patients suffering from critical illness or undergoing surgery appears to offer no benefit over conventional therapy and may in fact be harmful. A new conceptual model for fluid resuscitation of critically ill patients has recently been developed and is explored here. SUMMARY The practice of giving more fluid early and often is being replaced with new conceptual models of fluid resuscitation that suggest fluid therapy be 'personalized' to individual patient pathophysiology.
