Excerpt

The amount of fluid during resuscitation of septic shock is important. Too little fluid may result in tissue hypoperfusion; however, too much fluid may result in volume accumulation. Several recent studies have demonstrated that a positive fluid balance in critical illness is associated with deteriorating outcomes. However, some studies have shown opposite results. The objective of this study was to determine whether initial fluid balance in septic shock patients is correlated with ICU mortality. …
