How much fluid resuscitation is optimal in septic shock?
نویسنده
چکیده
Smith and Perner report an observational cohort study of 164 patients with septic shock. For patients still alive on day 3, higher compared with lower fluid volume resuscitation was associated with lower 90-day mortality. This association of a relationship between fluid intake and decreased mortality aligns with the randomized controlled trial of early goal-directed therapy and later observational studies. I suggest careful individualization of fluid resuscitation to achieve adequate mean arterial pressure (about 60 to 70 mmHg) and normalization of arterial lactate levels in septic shock.

Background: The mainstays of early treatment in septic shock (antibiotics, infection source control, lung protective ventilation, and aggressive volume resuscitation) remain effective. However, although early goaldirected volume resuscitation and a target central venous pressure (CVP) of 8 to 15 mm Hg has become accepted practice, exactly how much fluids to administer or when to stop has yet to...

BACKGROUND Fluid is the mainstay of resuscitation of patients with septic shock, but the optimal composition and volume are unknown. Our aim was to evaluate the current initial fluid resuscitation practice in patients with septic shock in the intensive care unit (ICU) and patient characteristics and outcome associated with fluid volume. METHODS This was a prospective, cohort study of all pati...

BACKGROUND Current pediatric septic shock resuscitation guidelines from the American College of Critical Care Medicine focus on the early and goal-directed administration of intravascular fluid followed by vasoactive medication infusions for persistent and fluid-refractory shock. However, accumulating adult and pediatric data suggest that excessive fluid administration is associated with worse ...
