Excerpt

Hypovolaemia is frequent in patients with shock, and fluid is therefore a mainstay intervention in the resuscitation of these patients [1]. On the other hand, fluid volumes in excess also have negative consequences including prolonged mechanical ventilation [2] and association with increased mortality [3]. Providing adequate fluid therapy without overdosing will likely improve the outcome of a huge number of patients. To do this, the assessment of hypovolaemia is essential. …
