Fluid challenge revisited.

چکیده
OBJECTIVE To discuss the rationale, technique, and clinical application of the fluid challenge. DATA SOURCE Relevant literature from MEDLINE and authors' personal databases. STUDY SELECTION Studies on fluid challenge in the acutely ill. DATA EXTRACTION Based largely on clinical experience and assessment of the relevant published literature, we propose that the protocol should include four variables, namely 1) the type of fluid administered, 2) the rate of fluid administration, 3) the critical end points, and 4) the safety limits. CONCLUSIONS A protocol for routine fluid challenge is proposed with defined rules and based on the patient's response to the volumes infused. The technique allows for prompt correction of fluid deficits yet minimizes the risks of fluid overload. LEARNING OBJECTIVES On completion of this article, the reader should be able to: 1. Explain the signs of hypovolemia. 2. Describe how to administer a fluid challenge. 3. Use this information in a clinical setting.

(Non)native Language Teachers’ Cognitions: Are They Dichotomous?
In view of native/nonnative language teacher dichotomy, different characteristics have been assigned to these 2 groups. The dichotomy has been the source of different actions and measures to clarify the positive and negative points of being (non)native teachers. In recent years, many researchers have revisited this dichotomy. The challenge to the dichotomy can be a source of motivation to explo...
متن کاملVesicle model with bending energy revisited
The equations governing the conditions of mechanical equilibrium in fluid membranes subject to bending are revisited thanks to the principle of virtual work. The note proposes systematic tools to obtain the shape equation and the line condition instead of Christoffel symbols and the complex calculations they entail. The method seems adequate to investigate all problems involving surface energies.
متن کاملMechanized metatheory revisited (abstract)
Over a decade ago, the POPLmark challenge [2] suggested that the theorem proving community had tools that were close to being usable by programming language researchers to formally prove properties of their designs and implementations. The authors of the POPLmark challenge looked at existing practices and systems and urged the developers of proof assistants to make improvements to existing syst...
متن کاملThe wetting problem of fluids on solid surfaces . Part 1 : the dynamics of contact lines Henri
The understanding of the spreading of liquids on solid surfaces is an important challenge for contemporary physics. Today, the motion of the contact line formed at the intersection of two immiscible fluids and a solid is still subject to dispute. In this paper, a new picture of the dynamics of wetting is offered through an example of non-Newtonian slow liquid movements. The kinematics of liquid...
