Abstract
BACKGROUND Variation in usual practice in fluid trials assessing lower versus higher volumes may affect overall comparisons. To address this, we will evaluate the effects of heterogeneity in treatment intensity in the Conservative versus Liberal Approach to Fluid Therapy of Septic Shock in Intensive Care trial. This will reflect the effects of differences in site-specific intensities of standard fluid treatment due to local practice preferences while considering participant characteristics. METHODS We will assess the effects of heterogeneity in treatment intensity across one primary (all-cause mortality) and three secondary outcomes (serious adverse events or reactions, days alive without life support and days alive out of hospital) after 90 days. We will classify sites based on the site-specific intensity of standard fluid treatment, defined as the mean differences in observed versus predicted intravenous fluid volumes in the first 24 h in the standard-fluid group while accounting for differences in participant characteristics. Predictions will be made using a machine learning model including 22 baseline predictors using the extreme gradient boosting algorithm. Subsequently, sites will be grouped into fluid treatment intensity subgroups containing at least 100 participants each. Subgroups differences will be assessed using hierarchical Bayesian regression models with weakly informative priors. We will present the full posterior distributions of relative (risk ratios and ratios of means) and absolute differences (risk differences and mean differences) in each subgroup. DISCUSSION This study will provide data on the effects of heterogeneity in treatment intensity while accounting for patient characteristics in critically ill adult patients with septic shock.

Abstract
AIM To determine the comparative effectiveness of fluid schemes for children with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). METHODS We conducted a systematic review with an attempt to conduct network meta-analysis (NMA). We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, Epistemonikos, Virtual Health Library, and gray literature from inception to July 31, 2022. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in children with DKA evaluating any intravenous fluid schemes. We planned to conduct NMA to compare all fluid schemes if heterogeneity was deemed acceptable. RESULTS Twelve RCTs were included. Studies were heterogeneous in the population (patients and DKA episodes), interventions with different fluids (saline, Ringer's lactate (RL), and polyelectrolyte solution-PlasmaLyte®), tonicity, volume, and administration systems. We identified 47 outcomes that measured clinical manifestations and metabolic control, including single and composite outcomes and substantial heterogeneity preventing statistical combination. No evidence was found of differences in neurological deterioration (main outcome), but differences were found among interventions in some comparisons to normalize acid-base status (∼2 h less with low vs. high volume); time to receive subcutaneous insulin (∼1 h less with low vs. high fluid rate); length of stay (∼6 h less with RL vs. saline); and resolution of the DKA (∼3 h less with two-bag vs. one-bag scheme). However, available evidence is scarce and poor. CONCLUSIONS There is not enough evidence to determine the best fluid therapy in terms of fluid type, tonicity, volume, or administration time for DKA treatment. There is an urgent need for more RCTs, and the development of a core outcome set on DKA in children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pigs for biomedical research are administered commercial fluids made for human consumption when they receive intravenous (IV) fluid therapy. Although pigs and humans have slightly different bodily fluid compositions, the composition shift happens at the same rate as their rapid growth. OBJECTIVE The study aimed to analyse the composition of porcine blood according to breeding cycle using a portable blood analyser and provides data for developing customized IV fluids for pigs. METHODS Pigs were sorted 25, 50, 100 and 120 days after birth, and sows were classified into candidate, pregnant and farrowing groups. A blood sample was collected from the external jugular vein and analysed using the EPOC blood analysis system using haematological, biochemical and gas parameters. RESULTS There was no difference among pig groups by age, but hematocrit and haemoglobin amounts decreased in sows after farrowing, but their concentrations were higher as compared to pigs. Glucose gradually reduced as age increased in pigs and during pregnancy in sows. CONCLUSION This study provided a comprehensive analysis of porcine blood composition by breeding cycle and highlighted the importance of glucose supplementation for IV fluid therapy in pigs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity (CIN) can be prevented by fluid hydration, electrolyte supplementation, or forced diuresis; however, the best way to prevent CIN is still unknown. The aim of this study was to provide objective evidence on the optimal design of hydration schemes to prevent CIN based on an update of the literature. METHODS A Pubmed and Embase search were conducted in December 2021 and repeated in April 2022 and March 2023. Two independent reviewers screened the articles. The included articles were categorized and reviewed per category. RESULTS Twenty-seven articles met the inclusion criteria. The included studies varied widely. Four out of seven studies investigating diuretics found a protective effect of adding mannitol to the hydration scheme. All six studies investigating duration and amount of volume of hydration found that a short-hydration scheme resulted in less CIN than a longer hydration scheme. Seven out of nine articles evaluating the role of electrolytes found that magnesium supplementation reduced the risk of nephrotoxicity. Three studies investigated the safety of oral hydration and concluded that nephrotoxicity did not occur more frequently after oral hydration. CONCLUSION The hydration scheme of cisplatin should be short and consist of a relatively small amount of volume. The scheme should include mannitol and magnesium supplementation. Head-to-head studies are needed to investigate the safety of furosemide compared with mannitol and the dose of mannitol and magnesium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The CLASSIC trial assessed the effects of restrictive versus standard intravenous (IV) fluid therapy in adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients with septic shock. This pre-planned study provides a probabilistic interpretation and evaluates heterogeneity in treatment effects (HTE). METHODS We analysed mortality, serious adverse events (SAEs), serious adverse reactions (SARs) and days alive without life-support within 90 days using Bayesian models with weakly informative priors. HTE on mortality was assessed according to five baseline variables: disease severity, vasopressor dose, lactate levels, creatinine values and IV fluid volumes given before randomisation. RESULTS The absolute difference in mortality was 0.2%-points (95% credible interval: -5.0 to 5.4; 47% posterior probability of benefit [risk difference <0.0%-points]) with restrictive IV fluid. The posterior probabilities of benefits with restrictive IV fluid were 72% for SAEs, 52% for SARs and 61% for days alive without life-support. The posterior probabilities of no clinically important differences (absolute risk difference ≤2%-points) between the groups were 56% for mortality, 49% for SAEs, 90% for SARs and 38% for days alive without life-support. There was 97% probability of HTE for previous IV fluid volumes analysed continuously, that is, potentially relatively lower mortality of restrictive IV fluids with higher previous IV fluids. No substantial evidence of HTE was found in the other analyses. CONCLUSION We could not rule out clinically important effects of restrictive IV fluid therapy on mortality, SAEs or days alive without life-support, but substantial effects on SARs were unlikely. IV fluids given before randomisation might interact with IV fluid strategy.

Performance of Tools and Measures to Predict Fluid Responsiveness in Pediatric Shock and Critical Illness: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Pediatr Crit Care Med 2024; 25:24-36.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In this systematic review and meta-analysis we asked: Do predictors of fluid responsiveness in children perform comparably: 1) in the PICU as in non-PICU settings? 2) in shock states compared with nonshock states? Additionally, 3) is there an association between preload responsiveness and clinical response? DATA SOURCES Ovid Medline, PubMed, and Embase databases were searched from inception through May 2022. STUDY SELECTION Included studies reported physiological response to IV fluid administration in humans less than 18 years. Only studies reporting an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) were included for descriptive analysis. Only studies for which a se could be estimated were included for meta-analysis. DATA EXTRACTION Title, abstract, full text screening, and extraction were completed by two authors (S.B.W., J.M.W.). Variables extracted included predictors ("tools") and outcome measures ("reference tests") of fluid responsiveness, demographic, and clinical variables. DATA SYNTHESIS We identified 62 articles containing 204 AUROCs for 55 tools, primarily describing mechanically ventilated children in an operating room or PICU. Meta-analysis across all tools showed poor predictive performance (AUROC, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.63-0.69), although individual performance varied greatly (range, 0.49-0.87). After controlling for PICU setting and shock state, PICU setting was associated with decreased predictive performance (coefficient, -0.56; p = 0.0007), while shock state was associated with increased performance (0.54; p = 0.0006). Effect of PICU setting and shock state on each tool was not statistically significant but analysis was limited by sample size. The association between preload responsiveness and clinical response was rarely studied but results did not suggest an association. Ultrasound measurements were prone to inherent test review and incorporation biases. CONCLUSIONS We suggest three opportunities for further research in fluid responsiveness in children: 1) assessing predictive performance of tools during resuscitation in shock states; 2) separating predictive tool from reference test when using ultrasound techniques; and 3) targeting decreasing time in a shock state, rather than just increase in preload.

Abstract
Perioperative anaphylaxis (PA) is a severe condition that can be fatal, but data on PA mortality are scarce. The aim of this article is to review the epidemiology, elicitors and risk factors for PA mortality and identify knowledge gaps and areas for improvement regarding the management of severe PA. PA affects about 100 cases per million procedures. Mortality is rare, estimated at 3 to 5 cases per million procedures, but the PA mortality rate is higher than for other anaphylaxis aetiologies, at 1.4% to 4.8%. However, the data are incomplete. Published data mention neuromuscular blocking agents and antibiotics, mainly penicillin and cefazolin, as the main causes of fatal PA. Reported risk factors for fatal PA vary in different countries. Most frequently occurring comorbidities are obesity, male gender, cardiovascular diseases and ongoing treatment with beta-blockers. However, there are no clues about how these factors interact and the impact of individual risk factors. The pathophysiology of fatal PA is still not completely known. Genetic factors such as deficiency in PAF-acetyl hydrolase and hereditary alpha-tryptasemia, have been reported as modulators of severe anaphylaxis and possible targets for specific treatments. Our review underlines unmet needs in the field of fatal PA. Although we confirmed the need for timely administration of an adequate dose of adrenaline and the proper infusion of fluids, there is no evidence-based data on the proper dose of intravenous titrated adrenaline and which clinical manifestations would flag the need for fluid therapy. There are no large clinical studies supporting the administration of alternative vasopressors, such as glucagon and methylene blue. Further research on pathophysiological mechanisms of PA and its severity may address these issues and help clinicians to define new therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to compare the electrolyte balance efficacies of two Gelatin-Balanced Crystalloid in clinical applications. Methods A multi-center, prospective, randomized, single-blind, parallel controlled study was conducted among non-cardiac surgery patients, with clinical registration number ChiCTR2200062999. They were randomized into Succinylated Gelatin, Multiple Electrolytes and Sodium Acetate Injection (SG-MESAI) group (experimental group) and Succinylated Gelatin Injection (SGI) infusion group (control group). The same anesthetic induction technique, anesthetic method, and calculation method for the volume of colloid infusion were used in the two groups. Between-group differences in the changes in base excess (BE), Chloride ion (Cl-), bicarbonate radical (HCO3⁻) and other parameters were recorded at 15 min, 30 min after the infusion relative to the baseline. Hemodynamic indicators were determined at 30 min after colloid infusion. Safety follow-up was conducted by administering the following tests within 48 h±12 h after surgery. Results A total of 225 subjects (full analysis set) were finally enrolled, with 110 subjects in the experimental group and 115 subjects in the control group. The baseline data were comparable between the two groups. At 15 min after infusion, the mean changes in BE, Cl- and HCO3⁻ concentration in the experimental group were smaller than those of the control group (P<0.001). At 30 min after surgery, the mean changes in BE, Cl-, HCO3⁻concentration and pH value were smaller in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.05). The incidences of adverse events and adverse reactions in the experimental group was less than the control group, but the difference was not statistically significant (P≥0.05). Besides, no serious adverse events or adverse reactions were reported in any subjects. Conclusion Succinylated Gelatin, Multiple Electrolytes and Sodium Acetate Injection maintained the balance of BE, Cl-, HCO3⁻ and pH value in a better way than Succinylated Gelatin Injection in non-cardiac surgery patients under general anesthesia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Traditionally, fluid resuscitation has been the foundation of effective acute pancreatitis (AP) treatment. Experts advocate for aggressive intravenous fluid (IVF) resuscitation, especially within the first 24 hours. Research suggests limited efficacy of this approach; in fact, some studies show there may be a risk of increased complications. The aim of this study was to assess outcomes of aggressive IVF resuscitation in patients with AP. METHODS We queried the TriNetX Research Network (Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States) for patients admitted between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2020, with a diagnosis of AP and who had received IVF on admission for at least 24 hours. We compared two cohorts; cohort 1 consisted of patients receiving aggressive IVF resuscitation (>3 ml/kg/hr), and cohort 2 was comprised of patients receiving non-aggressive (≤1.5 ml/kg/hr) IVF resuscitation. We compared mortality during index hospitalization, hospital length of stay (HLS), mechanical ventilation rates, acute kidney injury (AKI), and severe sepsis between the cohorts with propensity scoring matched (PSM) pairs of patients. A sub-analysis of patients with severe AP was performed. RESULTS After comparing the two well-matched PSM cohorts (3,680/3,680), we found no significant differences in mortality, HLS, mechanical ventilation rates, AKI, or severe sepsis. We found similar results after conducting the sub-analysis of patients with severe pancreatitis. CONCLUSIONS We found no significant differences in mortality and HLS when comparing rates of IVF resuscitation.

Abstract
Background and Objectives Haemodilution leads to complications in clinical practice. It is exactly unknown whether this damage is caused by the fluid or by the stretching of the vascular bed. We aimed to compare two different haemodilution techniques at the same anaemic level. Methods Normovolemic or hypervolemic haemodilution was performed on twelve adult male Wistar rats. In the normovolemic procedure, blood was withdrawn and instantaneously administered with similar amounts of 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES 130/0.4). Fluid was administered without withdrawing blood in the hypervolemic procedure. In both models, a 25% haematocrit level was targeted and kept at this level for 90 min to deepen the anaemia effect. Besides haemodynamics measurement, renal function (creatinine, blood urea nitrogen) and injury (tissue norepinephrine, malondialdehyde) were evaluated. Also, systemic hypoxia (lactate), oxidative stress (malondialdehyde, ischaemia-modified albumin), inflammation (tumour necrosis factor-alpha [TNF-α]), osmotic stress, adrenal stress (norepinephrine, epinephrine), and vascular stretching (atrial natriuretic peptide [ANP]) were assessed. Results Arterial pressure in the normovolemic group was lower than in the hypervolemic group. Serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and lactate levels were higher in the normovolemic group. Tissue norepinephrine and malondialdehyde levels were higher in the normovolemic group. Serum ANP, malondialdehyde, ischaemia-modified albumin, free haemoglobin, syndecan-1, and TNF-α were higher in both groups compared to respective baseline. Conclusions Normovolemic haemodilution may lead to hypoxic kidney injury. The hypervolemic state may be advantageous if fluid is to be administered. Thus, the effect of the fluid itself can be relatively masked.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Emergency medical services (EMS) clinicians are tasked with early fluid resuscitation for patients with sepsis. Traditional methods for prehospital fluid delivery are limited in speed and ease-of-use. We conducted a comparative effectiveness study of a novel rapid infusion device for prehospital fluid delivery in suspected sepsis patients. METHODS This pre-post observational study evaluated a hand-operated, rapid infusion device in a single large EMS system from July 2021-July 2022. Prior to device deployment, EMS clinicians completed didactic and simulation-based device training. Data were extracted from the EMS electronic health record. Eligible patients included adults with suspected sepsis treated by EMS with intravenous fluids. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients receiving goal fluid volume (at least 500 mL) prior to hospital arrival. Secondary outcomes included in-hospital mortality, disposition, and length of stay. Multivariable logistic regression was used to compare outcomes between 6-month pre- and post-implementation periods (July-December 2021 and February-July 2022, respectively), adjusting for patient demographics, abnormal prehospital vital signs, and EMS transport interval. RESULTS Of 1,180 eligible patients (552 in the pre-implementation period; 628 in the post-implementation period), the mean age was 72 years old, 45% were female, and 25% were minority race-ethnicity. Median (interquartile range) fluid volume (in mL) increased between the pre- and post-implementation periods (600 [400,1,000] and 850 [500-1,000], respectively). Goal fluid volume was achieved in 70% of pre-implementation patients and 82% of post-implementation patients. In adjusted analysis, post-implementation patients were significantly more likely to receive goal fluid volume than pre-implementation patients (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 2.00, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.51-2.66). Pre-post in-hospital mortality was not significantly different (aOR 0.91, 95% CI 0.59-1.39)Conclusion: In a single EMS system, sepsis education and introduction of a rapid infusion device was associated with achieving goal fluid volume for suspected sepsis. Further research is needed to assess the clinical effectiveness of infusion device implementation to improve sepsis patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast reconstruction is an integral part of breast cancer care. There are 2 main types of breast reconstruction: alloplastic (using implants) and autologous (using the patient's own tissue). The latter creates a more natural breast mound and avoids the long-term need for surgical revision-more often associated with implant-based surgery. The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap is considered the gold standard approach in autologous breast reconstruction. However, complications do occur with DIEP flap surgery and can stem from poor flap tissue perfusion/oxygenation. Hence, the development of strategies to enhance flap perfusion (eg, goal-directed perioperative fluid therapy) is essential. Current perioperative fluid therapy is traditionally guided by subjective criteria, which leads to wide variations in clinical practice. OBJECTIVE The main objective of this trial is to determine whether the use of minimally invasive cardiac output (CO) monitoring for guiding intravenous fluid administration, combined with low-dose dobutamine infusion (via a treatment algorithm), will increase tissue oxygenation in patients undergoing DIEP flap surgery. METHODS With appropriate institutional ethics board and Health Canada approval, patients undergoing DIEP flap surgery are randomly assigned to receive CO monitoring for the guidance of intraoperative fluid therapy in addition to a low-dose dobutamine infusion (which potentially improves flap oxygenation) versus the current standard of care. The primary outcome is tissue oxygenation measured via near-infrared spectroscopy at the perfusion zone furthest from the perforator vessels 45 minutes after vascular reanastomosis of the DIEP flap. Low dose (2.5 μg/kg/hr) dobutamine infusion continues for up to 4 hours postoperatively, provided there are no associated complications (ie, persistent tachycardia). Flap oxygenation, hemodynamic parameters, and any medication-associated side effects/complications are monitored for up to 48 hours postoperatively. Complications, rehospitalizations, and patient satisfaction are also collected until 30 days postoperatively. RESULTS Funding and regulatory approvals were obtained in 2019, but the study recruitment was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As of October 4, 2023, 34 participants have been recruited. Because of the significant delays associated with the pandemic, the expected completion date was extended. We expect the study to be completed and ready for potential news release (as appropriate) and publication by July 2024. No patients have suffered any adverse effects/complications from participating in this study, and none have been lost to follow-up. CONCLUSIONS CO-directed fluid therapy in combination with a low-dose dobutamine infusion via a treatment algorithm has the potential to improve DIEP flap tissue oxygenation and reduce complications following DIEP flap breast reconstruction surgery. However, given that the investigators remain blinded to group randomization, no comment can be made regarding the efficacy of this intervention for improving tissue oxygenation at this time. Nevertheless, no patients have been withdrawn for safety concerns thus far, and compliance remains high.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION It is known that pulse pressure variation and systolic pressure variation cannot predict fluid responsiveness in children. In adults, the ability of these dynamic parameters to predict fluid responsiveness is improved by increasing tidal volume. We planned to investigate whether pulse pressure variation or systolic pressure variation can predict fluid responsiveness in children when augmented by increasing tidal volume by conducting a prospective study. METHODS We enrolled children younger than 7 years who underwent cardiac surgery for atrial septal defect or ventricular septal defect. After sternum closure, pulse pressure variation and systolic pressure variation were continuously recorded while changing the tidal volume to 6, 10, and 14 mL/kg. Fluid loading was done with 10 mL/kg of crystalloids for 10 min, and stroke volume index was measured via transesophageal echocardiography. Children whose stroke volume index increased by more than 15% after the fluid loading were defined as responders to fluid therapy. We set primary outcome as the predictability of pulse pressure variation and systolic pressure variation for fluid responsiveness and measured the area under the curve of receiver operating characteristics curve. RESULTS Twenty-six children were included, of which 15 were responders. At the tidal volume of 14 mL/kg, the area under the curves of receiver operating characteristics curves of pulse pressure variation and systolic pressure variation were 0.576 (p = .517) and 0.548 (p = .678), respectively. The differences in dynamic parameters between responders and nonresponders were not significant. DISCUSSION Failure of pulse pressure variation or systolic pressure variation at augmented tidal volume in children may be due to difference in their arterial compliance from those of adults. Large compliance of thoracic wall may be another reason. CONCLUSIONS Augmented pulse pressure variation or systolic pressure variation due to increased tidal volume cannot predict fluid responsiveness in children after simple cardiac surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify opportunities for improving hospital-based sepsis care and to inform an ongoing statewide quality improvement initiative in Michigan. DESIGN Surveys on hospital sepsis processes, including a self-assessment of practices using a 3-point Likert scale, were administered to 51 hospitals participating in the Michigan Hospital Medicine Safety Consortium, a Collaborative Quality Initiative sponsored by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, at two time points (2020, 2022). Forty-eight hospitals also submitted sepsis protocols for structured review. SETTING Multicenter quality improvement consortium. SUBJECTS Fifty-one hospitals in Michigan. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Of the included hospitals, 92.2% (n = 47/51) were nonprofit, 88.2% (n = 45/51) urban, 11.8% (n = 6/51) rural, and 80.4% (n = 41/51) teaching hospitals. One hundred percent (n = 51/51) responded to the survey, and 94.1% (n = 48/51) provided a sepsis policy/protocol. All surveyed hospitals used at least one quality improvement approach, including audit/feedback (98.0%, n = 50/51) and/or clinician education (68.6%, n = 35/51). Protocols included the Sepsis-1 (18.8%, n = 9/48) or Sepsis-2 (31.3%, n = 15/48) definitions; none (n = 0/48) used Sepsis-3. All hospitals (n = 51/51) used at least one process to facilitate rapid sepsis treatment, including order sets (96.1%, n = 49/51) and/or stocking of commonly used antibiotics in at least one clinical setting (92.2%, n = 47/51). Treatment protocols included guidance on antimicrobial therapy (68.8%, n = 33/48), fluid resuscitation (70.8%, n = 34/48), and vasopressor administration (62.5%, n = 30/48). On self-assessment, hospitals reported the lowest scores for peridischarge practices, including screening for cognitive impairment (2.0%, n = 1/51 responded "we are good at this") and providing anticipatory guidance (3.9%, n = 2/51). There were no meaningful associations of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock: Management Bundle performance with differences in hospital characteristics or sepsis policy document characteristics. CONCLUSIONS Most hospitals used audit/feedback, order sets, and clinician education to facilitate sepsis care. Hospitals did not consistently incorporate organ dysfunction criteria into sepsis definitions. Existing processes focused on early recognition and treatment rather than recovery-based practices.

Abstract
There are several clinical practice guidelines concerning the use of fluid and vasoactive drug therapies in critically ill adult patients, but the recommendations in these guidelines are often based on low-quality evidence. Further, some were compiled prior to the publication of landmark clinical trials, particularly in the comparison of balanced crystalloid and normal saline. An important consideration in the treatment of critically ill patients is the application of precision medicine to provide the most effective care to groups of patients most likely to benefit from the therapy. Although not currently widely integrated into these practice guidelines, the utility of precision medicine in critical illness is a recognized research priority for fluid and vasoactive therapy management. The purpose of this narrative review was to illustrate the evaluation and challenges of providing precision fluid and vasoactive therapies to adult critically ill patients. The review includes a discussion of important investigations published after the release of currently available clinical practice guidelines to provide insight into how recommendations and research priorities may change future guidelines and bedside care for critically ill patients.

Abstract
Background Hyperglycemia is a risk factor for perioperative morbidity and mortality. A surgical procedure triggers a physiological stress response, which culminates in insulin resistance by activating the sympathetic autonomic system. The impact of fluid management in the perioperative period on the glycemic variation of patients has not been thoroughly investigated. Methods This study, which included 42 non-diabetic patients undergoing laparoscopic surgeries, was an observational, prospective cohort study. The sample was split into two groups according to the type of fluid used intraoperatively: polyelectrolyte and 5% glucose polyelectrolyte. Results No significant differences were found between the groups in demographic and baseline data, including age, BMI, and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status. There were no differences in glycemic variation between the two groups. Blood glucose varied over time with statistical significance in the perioperative period but with no difference between the two groups. Conclusion Using 5% glucose polyelectrolyte in laparoscopic surgery for non-diabetic patients with ASA physical status 3 or lower did not significantly affect glycemic variation compared to polyelectrolyte. These results suggest the possibility of optimizing resources and minimizing waste without compromising patient homeostasis in perioperative care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Normal saline (NS) and Ringer's lactate (RL) are the most common crystalloids given to hospitalized patients. Despite concern about possible harm associated with NS (eg, hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis, impaired kidney function, and death), few large multicenter randomized trials focused on critically ill patients have compared these fluids. Uncertainty exists about the effects of these fluids on clinically important outcomes across all hospitalized patients. OBJECTIVE The FLUID trial is a pragmatic, multicenter, 2×2 cluster crossover comparative effectiveness randomized trial that aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a hospital-wide policy that stocks either NS or RL as the main crystalloid fluid in 16 hospitals across Ontario, Canada. METHODS All hospitalized adult and pediatric patients (anticipated sample size 144,000 patients) with an incident admission to the hospital over the course of each study period will be included. Either NS or RL will be preferentially stocked throughout the hospital for 12 weeks before crossing to the alternate fluid for the subsequent 12 weeks. The primary outcome is a composite of death and hospital readmission within 90 days of hospitalization. Secondary outcomes include death, hospital readmission, dialysis, reoperation, postoperative reintubation, length of hospital stay, emergency department visits, and discharge to a facility other than home. All outcomes will be obtained from health administrative data, eliminating the need for individual case reports. The primary analysis will use cluster-level summaries to estimate cluster-average treatment effects. RESULTS The statistical analysis plan has been prepared "a priori" in advance of receipt of the trial data set from ICES and any analyses. CONCLUSIONS We describe the protocol and statistical analysis plan for the evaluation of primary and secondary outcomes for the FLUID trial.

Abstract
Hydration is a fundamental aspect of clinical practice and yet it is an under-researched topic, particularly in older people, leading to many areas of uncertainty. There are two types of dehydration; hypertonic, which is a water deficit, and isotonic, which is a deficit of both water and salt. Individual clinical signs and bedside tests are poor diagnostic tools, making dehydration difficult to identify. However, the diagnostic value of a holistic clinical approach is not known. The gold-standard clinical test for dehydration is serum osmolality, but this cannot diagnose isotonic dehydration and may delay diagnosis in acute situations. Salivary osmolality point-of-care testing is a promising and rapid new diagnostic test capable of detecting both hypertonic and isotonic dehydration in older people, but further evidence to support its clinical utility is needed. Daily fluid requirements may be less than previously thought in adults, but the evidence specific to older people remains limited. Hydration via the subcutaneous route is safer and easier to initiate than the intravenous route but is limited by infusion speed and volume. Prompting older adults more frequently to drink, offering a wider selection of drinks and using drinking vessels with particular features can result in small increases in oral intake in the short-term. The ongoing clinically-assisted hydration at end of life (CHELsea II) trial will hopefully provide more evidence for the emotive issue of hydration at the end of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND IV fluids are recommended for adults with sepsis. However, the optimal strategy for IV fluid management in sepsis is unknown, and clinical equipoise exists. RESEARCH QUESTION Do lower vs higher fluid volumes improve patient-important outcomes in adult patients with sepsis? STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS We updated a systematic review with meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis of randomized clinical trials assessing lower vs higher IV fluid volumes in adult patients with sepsis. The coprimary outcomes were all-cause mortality, serious adverse events, and health-related quality of life. We followed the recommendations from the Cochrane Handbook and used the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach. Primary conclusions were based on trials with low risk of bias if available. RESULTS We included 13 trials (N = 4,006) with four trials (n = 3,385) added to this update. The meta-analysis of all-cause mortality in eight trials with low risk of bias showed a relative risk of 0.99 (97% CI, 0.89-1.10; moderate certainty evidence). Six trials with predefined definitions of serious adverse events showed a relative risk of 0.95 (97% CI, 0.83-1.07; low certainty evidence). Health-related quality of life was not reported. INTERPRETATION Among adult patients with sepsis, lower IV fluid volumes probably result in little to no difference in all-cause mortality compared with higher IV fluid volumes, but the interpretation is limited by imprecision in the estimate, which does not exclude potential benefit or harm. Similarly, the evidence suggests lower IV fluid volumes result in little to no difference in serious adverse events. No trials reported on health-related quality of life.

Abstract
Background and Aims Cytoreduction surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is an extensive surgery associated with significant fluid shift and blood loss. The haemodynamic management and fluid therapy protocol may impact postoperative outcomes. This systematic review was conducted to find the effect of haemodynamic monitoring and perioperative fluid therapy in CRS-HIPEC on postoperative outcomes. Methods We searched PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar. All studies published between 2010 and 2022 involving CRS-HIPEC surgeries that compared the effect of fluid therapy and haemodynamic monitoring on postoperative outcomes were included. Keywords for database searches included a combination of Medical Subject Headings terms and plain text related to the CRS-HIPEC procedure. The risk of bias and the certainty assessment were done by Risk of Bias-2 and the methodological index for non-randomised studies. Results The review included 16 published studies out of 388 articles. The studies were heterogeneous concerning the design type and parameter measures. The studies with goal-directed fluid therapy protocol had a duration of intensive care unit (ICU) stay that varied from 1 to 20 days, while mortality varied from 0% to 9.5%. The choice of fluid, crystalloid versus colloid, remains inconclusive. The studies that compared crystalloids and colloids for perioperative fluid management did not show a difference in clinical outcomes. Conclusion The interpretation of the available literature is challenging because the definitions of various fluid regimens and haemodynamic goals are not uniform among studies. An individualised approach to perioperative fluid therapy and a justified dynamic index cut-off for haemodynamic monitoring seem reasonable for CRS-HIPEC procedures.

Abstract
Perioperative fluid management, a critical aspect of major surgeries, is characterized by pronounced stress responses, altered capillary permeability, and significant fluid shifts. Recognized as a cornerstone of enhanced recovery protocols, effective perioperative fluid management is crucial for optimizing patient recovery and preventing postoperative complications, especially in high-risk patients. The scientific literature has extensively investigated various fluid infusion regimens, but recent publications indicate that not only the volume but also the type of fluid infused significantly influences surgical outcomes. Adequate fluid therapy prescription requires a thorough understanding of the physiological and biochemical principles that govern the body's internal environment and the potential perioperative alterations that may arise. Recently published clinical trials have questioned the safety of synthetic colloids, widely used in the surgical field. A new clinical scenario has arisen in which crystalloids could play a pivotal role in perioperative fluid therapy. This review aims to offer evidence-based clinical principles for prescribing fluid therapy tailored to the patient's physiology during the perioperative period. The approach combines these principles with current recommendations for enhanced recovery programs for surgical patients, grounded in physiological and biochemical principles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fluid therapy during major surgery can be managed by providing repeated bolus infusions until stroke volume no longer increases by ≥ 10%. However, the final bolus in an optimization round increases stroke volume by < 10% and is not necessary. We studied how different cut-off values for the hemodynamic indications given by esophagus Doppler monitoring, as well as augmentation by pulse oximetry, are associated with a higher or smaller chance that stroke volume increases by ≥ 10% (fluid responsiveness) before fluid is infused. METHODS An esophagus Doppler and a pulse oximeter that displayed the pleth variability index were used to monitor the effects of a bolus infusion in 108 patients undergoing goal-directed fluid therapy during major open abdominal surgery. RESULTS The analyzed data set comprised 266 bolus infusions. The overall incidence of fluid responsiveness was 44%, but this varied greatly depending on pre-infusion hemodynamics. The likelihood of being fluid-responsive was 30%-38% in the presence of stroke volume > 80 mL, corrected flow time > 360 ms, or pleth variability index < 10%. The likelihood was 21% if stroke volume had decreased by <8% since the previous optimization, which decreased to 0% if combined with stroke volume > 100 mL. By contrast, the likelihood of fluid responsiveness increased to 50%-55% when stroke volume ≤ 50 mL, corrected flow time ≤ 360 ms, or pleth variability index ≥ 10. A decrease in stroke volume by > 8% since the previous optimization was followed by a 58% likelihood of fluid responsiveness that, in combination with any of the other hemodynamic variables, increased to 66%-76%. CONCLUSIONS Single or combined hemodynamic variables provided by esophagus Doppler monitoring and pulse oximetry derived pleth variability index could help clinicians avoid unnecessary fluid bolus infusions.

Abstract
(1) Background: Fluid resuscitation is a necessary part of therapeutic measures to maintain sufficient hemodynamics in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circulation. In a post-hoc analysis, we aimed to investigate the impact of increased volume therapy in veno-arterial ECMO circulation on renal function and organ edema in a large animal model. (2) Methods: ECMO therapy was performed in 12 female pigs (Deutsche Landrasse × Pietrain) for 10 h with subsequent euthanasia. Applicable volume, in regard to the necessary maintenance of hemodynamics, was divided into moderate and extensive volume therapy (MVT/EVT) due to the double quantity of calculated physiologic urine output for the planned study period. Respiratory and hemodynamic data were measured continuously. Additionally, renal function and organ edema were assessed by blood and tissue samples. (3) Results: Four pigs received MVT, and eight pigs received EVT. After 10 h of ECMO circulation, no major differences were seen between the groups in regard to hemodynamic and respiratory data. The relative change in creatinine after 10 h of ECMO support was significantly higher in EVT (1.3 ± 0.3 MVT vs. 1.8 ± 0.5 EVT; p = 0.033). No major differences were evident for lung, heart, liver, and kidney samples in regard to organ edema in comparison of EVT and MVT. Bowel tissue showed a higher percentage of edema in EVT compared to MVT (77 ± 2% MVT vs. 80 ± 3% EVT; p = 0.049). (4) Conclusions: The presented data suggest potential deterioration of renal function and intestinal mucosa function by an increase in tissue edema due to volume overload in ECMO therapy.

Abstract
Intraoperative fluid therapy is regularly used in patients undergoing cardiac surgery procedures with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Although fluid administration has several advantages, it unavoidably leads to hemodilution. The hemodilution may further influence the interpretation of concentration-based laboratory parameters like hemoglobin (Hgb), platelet count (PLT) or prothrombin time (PT). These all parameters are commonly used to guide blood product substitution. To assess the impact of dilution on these values, we performed a prospective observational study in 174 patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery. We calculated the total blood volume according to Nadler's formula, and fluid therapy was correlated with a newly developed dilution coefficient formula at the end of CPB. Intravenously applied fluids were measured from the beginning of the anesthesia (baseline, T0) and 15 min after the end of protamine infusion (end of CPB, T1). The amount of the administered volume (crystalloids or colloids) was calculated according to the percentage of the intravascular fluid effect, and intraoperative diuresis was further subtracted. The median blood volume increased by 148% in all patients at T1 compared to the calculated total blood volume at T0. This led to a dilution-dependent decrease of 38% in all three parameters (Hgb 24%, corrCoeff = 0.53; PLT 41%, corrCoeff = 0.68; PT 44%, corrCoeff = 0.54). The dilution-correlated decrease was significant for all parameters (p < 0.001), and the effect was independent from the duration of CPB. We conclude that the presented calculation-based approach could provide important information regarding actual laboratory parameters and may help in the guidance of the blood product substitution and potential transfusion thresholds. Further research on the impact of dilution and related decision-making for blood product substitution, including its impact on morbidity and mortality, is warranted.

Abstract
Hypotonic intravenous (IV) fluids are associated with an increased risk of hospital-acquired hyponatraemia, eventually leading to brain injury and death. We evaluated the effectiveness of a treatment guide to improve prescribing practices of IV fluids. We conducted a before-and-after cross-sectional survey among physicians working at Danish emergency departments. The primary outcome was prescribing practices of IV fluids. Participants were asked which IV fluid they would select in four clinical scenarios. We applied multivariate logistic regression models to estimate the odds ratio of selecting hypotonic fluids. Secondary outcomes included knowledge about IV fluids and hyponatraemia, and the receipt, reading, and usefulness of the treatment guide. After the intervention, about a third (47/154) reported that they would use hypotonic fluids in patients with increased intracranial pressure, and a quarter (39/154) would use hypotonic maintenance fluids in children, both of which are against guideline recommendations. A total of 46% selected the correct fluid, a 3% hypertonic saline solution for a patient with hyponatraemia and severe neurological symptoms. None of the knowledge questions met the predefined criteria of success of 80% correct answers. Of the respondents, 22% had received the treatment guide. Since the implementation failed, we recommend improving distribution by applying methods from implementation science.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that fluid resuscitation in the ED with plasmalyte-148 (PL) compared with 0.9% sodium chloride (SC) would result in a lower proportion of patients with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission. METHODS We performed a prespecified nested cohort study at two hospitals within a cluster, crossover, open label, randomised, controlled trial comparing the effects of PL versus SC as fluid therapy for patients who presented to the ED with DKA. All patients presenting within a fixed recruitment period were included. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients admitted to ICU. RESULTS Eighty-four patients were enrolled (SC n = 38, PL n = 46). The SC group had a lower median pH on admission (SC: 7.09 [interquartile range (IQR) 7.01-7.21], PL: 7.17 [IQR 6.99-7.26]). The median volume of intravenous fluids administered in ED was 2150 mL (IQR 2000-3200 mL; SC) and 2200 mL (IQR 2000-3450; PL); respectively. A higher proportion of patients in the SC group, 19 (50%), was admitted to ICU compared with PL group, 18 (39.1%); however, after adjustment for pH at presentation and diabetes type in a multivariable logistic regression model, the PL group did not have a significantly different rate of ICU admission compared with the SC group (odds ratio for ICU admission 0.73, 95% confidence interval 0.13-3.97, P = 0.71). CONCLUSION Patients with DKA treated with PL compared with SC in the EDs had similar rates of requiring ICU admission.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enteral hydration in cattle is most commonly performed as a bolus (B) via the ororuminal route, although continuous flow (CF) administration via the nasoesophageal route represents a viable alternative. Currently, no study has compared the effectiveness of these two methods. This study aimed to compare the efficiency of enteral hydration using CF and B to correct water, electrolyte and acid-base imbalances in cows. METHODS Protocols for the induction of dehydration were applied twice to eight healthy cows, with an interval of 1 week. In a crossover design, two types of enteral hydration were performed using the same electrolyte solution and volume equal to 12% of bodyweight (BW): CF (10 mL/kg/h, between 0 and 12 hours) and B (6% BW, twice, at 0 and 6 hours). Clinical and blood variables were determined at -24, 0, 6, 12 and 24 hours and compared using repeated-measures ANOVA. RESULTS Induced moderate dehydration and hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis were corrected after 12 hours using the two hydration methods, with no differences observed between the methods. LIMITATIONS The study was conducted with induced rather than natural imbalances, so the findings should be interpreted cautiously. CONCLUSION Enteral CF hydration is as effective as B hydration in reversing dehydration and correcting electrolyte and acid-base imbalances.

Abstract
Dysnatremia after congenital heart disease (CHD) surgery is common. European guidelines on intraoperative fluid therapy in children recommend isotonic solutions to avoid hyponatremia, but prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass and administration of high sodium-containing solutions (i.e., blood products and sodium bicarbonate) are associated with postoperative hypernatremia. The aim of the study was to describe fluid composition prior to and during the development of postoperative dysnatremia. A retrospective observational, single-center study including infants undergoing CHD surgery. Demographics and clinical characteristics were registered. Highest and lowest plasma sodium values were recorded and associations with perioperative fluid administration, blood products, crystalloids, and colloids were explored in relation to three perioperative periods. Postoperative dysnatremia occurred in nearly 50% of infants within 48 h after surgery. Hypernatremia was mainly associated with administration of blood products (median [IQR]: 50.5 [28.4-95.5] vs. 34.5 [18.5-61.1] mL/kg; p = 0.001), and lower free water load (1.6 [1.1-2.2] mL/kg/h; p = 0.01). Hyponatremia was associated with a higher free water load (2.3 [1.7-3.3] vs. 1.8 [1.4-2.5] mL/kg/h; p = 0.001) and positive fluid balance. On postoperative day 1, hyponatremia was associated with higher volumes of free water (2.0 [1.5-2.8] vs. 1.3 [1.1-1.8] mL/kg/h; p < 0.001) and human albumin, despite a larger diuresis and more negative daily fluid balance. Postoperative hyponatremia occurred in 30% of infants despite restrictive volumes of hypotonic maintenance fluid, whereas hypernatremia was mainly associated with blood product transfusion. Individualized fluid therapy, with continuous reassessment to reduce the occurrence of postoperative dysnatremia is mandatory in pediatric cardiac surgery. Prospective studies to evaluate fluid therapy in pediatric cardiac surgery patients are warranted.

Abstract
We sought to identify factors affecting physicians' cognition and clinical behavior when evaluating patients that may need fluid therapy. BACKGROUND Proponents of dynamic fluid responsiveness testing advocate measuring cardiac output or stroke volume after a maneuver to prove that further fluids will increase cardiac output. However, surveys suggest that fluid therapy in clinical practice is often given without prior responsiveness testing. DESIGN Thematic analysis of face-to-face structured interviews. SETTING ICUs and medical-surgical wards in acute care hospitals. SUBJECTS Intensivists and hospitalist physicians. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS We conducted 43 interviews with experienced physicians in 19 hospitals. Hospitalized patients with hypotension, tachycardia, oliguria, or elevated serum lactate are commonly seen by physicians who weigh the risks and benefits of more fluid therapy. Encounters are often with unfamiliar patients and evaluation and decisions are completed quickly without involving other physicians. Dynamic testing for fluid responsiveness is used much less often than static methods and fluid boluses are often ordered with no testing at all. This approach is rationalized by factors that discourage dynamic testing: unavailability of equipment, time to obtain test results, or lack of expertise in obtaining valid data. Two mental calculations are particularly influential: physicians' estimate of the base rate of fluid responsiveness (determined by physical examination, chart review, and previous responses to fluid boluses) and physicians' perception of patient harm if 500 or 1,000 mL fluid boluses are ordered. When the perception of harm is low, physicians use heuristics that rationalize skipping dynamic testing. LIMITATIONS Geographic limitation to hospitals in Minnesota, United States. CONCLUSIONS If dynamic responsiveness testing is to be used more often in routine clinical practice, physicians must be more convinced of the benefits of dynamic testing, that they can obtain valid results quickly and believe that even small fluid boluses harm their patients.

Abstract
Pulmonary embolism is a common and potentially fatal disease, with a significant burden on health and survival. Right ventricular dysfunction and hemodynamic instability are considered two key determinants of mortality in pulmonary embolism, which can reach up to 65% in severe cases. Therefore, timely diagnosis and management are of paramount importance to ensure the best quality of care. However, hemodynamic and respiratory support, both major constituents of management in pulmonary embolism, associated with cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest, have been given little attention in recent years, in favor of other novel advances such as systemic thrombolysis or direct oral anticoagulants. Moreover, it has been implied that current recommendations regarding this supportive care lack enough robustness, further complicating the problem. In this review, we critically discuss and summarize the current literature concerning the hemodynamic and respiratory support in pulmonary embolism, including fluid therapy, diuretics, pharmacological support with vasopressors, inotropes and vasodilators, oxygen therapy and ventilation, and mechanical circulatory support with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and right ventricular assist devices, while also providing some insights into contemporary research gaps.

Abstract
Sepsis causes significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Resuscitation is a cornerstone of management. This review covers five areas of evolving practice in the management of early sepsis-induced hypoperfusion: fluid resuscitation volume, timing of vasopressor initiation, resuscitation targets, route of vasopressor administration, and use of invasive blood pressure monitoring. For each topic, we review the seminal evidence, discuss the evolution of practice over time, and highlight questions for additional research. Intravenous fluids are a core component of early sepsis resuscitation. However, with growing concerns about the harms of fluid, practice is evolving toward smaller-volume resuscitation, which is often paired with earlier vasopressor initiation. Large trials of fluid-restrictive, vasopressor-early strategies are providing more information about the safety and potential benefit of these approaches. Lowering blood pressure targets is a means to prevent fluid overload and reduce exposure to vasopressors; mean arterial pressure targets of 60-65 mm Hg appear to be safe, at least in older patients. With the trend toward earlier vasopressor initiation, the need for central administration of vasopressors has been questioned, and peripheral vasopressor use is increasing, although it is not universally accepted. Similarly, although guidelines suggest the use of invasive blood pressure monitoring with arterial catheters in patients receiving vasopressors, blood pressure cuffs are less invasive and often sufficient. Overall, the management of early sepsis-induced hypoperfusion is evolving toward fluid-sparing and less-invasive strategies. However, many questions remain, and additional data are needed to further optimize our approach to resuscitation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal management of diminishing drinking at the end of life is contentious. Clinicians and family members may understand the phenomenon differently and hold divergent priorities regarding care. Family members can be distressed by diminishing drinking and its management, particularly when in a hospital environment. AIM To explore the experiences of family members when witnessing the diminishing drinking of a dying relative. DESIGN A narrative inquiry methodology, derived from pragmatism. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Thirteen recently bereaved family members were recruited through the bereavement services of three UK hospitals. Inclusion criteria included having an adult relative who died in hospital of any diagnosis more than 48 hours from admission and who had had noticeable diminishing drinking. FINDINGS Participants experienced diminishing drinking as an unfolding process that was part of overall decline. They all believed it to be detrimental. Three groups of responses were identified: promoting, accepting and ameliorating. Supportive measures included offering equipment to support drinking, staff being present and communicating about expectations and care management aims. CONCLUSIONS There is potential to improve family members' experiences through re-conceptualisation of diminishing drinking aligned to their experiences, supporting family members by listening to their experiences with insight and strengthening their agency within the management of their relatives with diminishing drinking.

Abstract
Background In this study, we compared Ringer's lactate solution (RL) with PlasmaLyte (PL), a relatively new IV fluid, for perioperative fluid therapy in the pediatric population. Methods This prospective and interventional randomized comparative study was carried out after obtaining clearance from the Institutional Ethics Committee. The study period was from November 2016 to December 2017. Results Hemodynamic parameters such as SpO2, ETCO2, heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, and urine output were stable in both groups throughout the perioperative period without any statistically or clinically significant variations. Children receiving PL (group PL) had better acid-base status, serum electrolytes, and blood lactate profiles compared with children receiving RL (group RL), who had hyponatremia and increased blood lactate levels, which continued to increase in the immediate postoperative period. No significant differences in pH, pCO2, HCO3, serum potassium, serum chloride, blood urea, serum creatinine, or blood sugar were observed. Conclusions PL is better than RL for perioperative fluid therapy in children undergoing abdominal surgeries.

Abstract
SLICE is an algorithm for the integration of point-of-care ultrasound in the assessment and resuscitation of the shocked or breathless patient. It aims to determine the patient's fluid status, and identify reversible causes for the patient's clinical picture. SLICE stands for 'In a patient who is Shocked/Short of breath, scan the Lungs, IVC, Cardiac and Extra regions as indicated'. Its key advantages are that it explicitly guides resuscitative fluid management, can be performed rapidly and by clinicians with a broad range of sonographic experience, and can be used in a broad range of clinical scenarios. Its use has been successfully taught and implemented in routine clinical practice at our local institution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Salt and water accumulation leading to fluid overload is associated with increased mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) patients, but diuretics' effects on patient outcomes are uncertain. In this first version of the GODIF trial, we aimed to assess the effects of goal-directed fluid removal with furosemide versus placebo in adult ICU patients with fluid overload. METHODS We conducted a multicentre, randomised, stratified, parallel-group, blinded, placebo-controlled trial in clinically stable, adult ICU patients with at least 5% fluid overload. Participants were randomised to furosemide versus placebo infusion aiming at achieving neutral cumulative fluid balance as soon as possible. The primary outcome was the number of days alive and out of the hospital at 90 days. RESULTS The trial was terminated after the enrolment of 41 of 1000 participants because clinicians had difficulties using cumulative fluid balance as the only estimate of fluid status (32% of participants had their initially registered cumulative fluid balance adjusted and 29% experienced one or more protocol violations). The baseline cumulative fluid balance was 6956 ml in the furosemide group and 6036 ml in the placebo group; on day three, the cumulative fluid balances were 1927 ml and 5139 ml. The median number of days alive and out of hospital at day 90 was 50 days in the furosemide group versus 45 days in the placebo group (mean difference 1 day, 95% CI -19 to 21, p-value .94). CONCLUSIONS The use of cumulative fluid balance as the only estimate of fluid status appeared too difficult to use in clinical practice. We were unable to provide precise estimates for any outcomes as only 4.1% of the planned sample size was randomised.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Positive fluid balance (FB) is associated with poor outcomes in critically ill children but has not been studied in pediatric liver transplant (LT) recipients. Our goal is to investigate the relationship between postoperative FB and outcomes in pediatric LT recipients. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study of first-time pediatric LT recipients at a quaternary care children's hospital. Patients were stratified into three groups based on their FB in the first 72 h postoperatively: <10%, 10-20%, and > 20%. Outcomes were pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and hospital length of stay, ventilator-free days (VFD) at 28 days, day 3 severe acute kidney injury, and postoperative complications. Multivariate analyses were adjusted for age, preoperative admission status, and Pediatric Risk of Mortality (PRISM)-III score. RESULTS We included 129 patients with median PRISM-III score of 9 (interquartile range, IQR 7-15) and calculated Pediatric End-stage Liver Disease score of 15 (IQR 2-23). A total of 37 patients (28.7%) had 10-20% FB, and 26 (20.2%) had >20% FB. Greater than 20% FB was associated with an increased likelihood of an additional PICU day (adjusted incident rate ratio [aIRR] 1.62, 95% CI: 1.18-2.24), an additional hospital day (aIRR 1.39, 95% CI: 1.10-1.77), and lower likelihood of a VFD at 28 days (aIRR 0.85, 95% CI: 0.74-0.97). There were no differences between groups in the likelihood of postoperative complications. CONCLUSIONS In pediatric LT recipients, >20% FB at 72 h postoperatively is associated with increased morbidities, independent of age and severity of illness. Additional studies are needed to explore the impact of fluid management strategies on outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The initial management of patients with acute pancreatitis impacts both morbidity and mortality. Point-of-care decisions have been reported to differ from clinical guideline recommendations. METHODS An online anonymous questionnaire was distributed through scientific associations and social media using REDCap. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify the characteristics of participants associated with compliance with the recommendations. RESULTS A total of 1054 participants from 94 countries completed the questionnaire; median age (IQR) was 39 (32-47) years; 30.7% were women. Among the participants, 37% opted for nonmoderate flow of i.v. fluid, 31% for fluid type other than Ringer's lactate; 73.4% were in favor of nil per os to patients who could eat, 75.5% for other than enteral feeding to patients with oral intolerance; 15.5% used prophylactic antibiotic in patients with severe acute pancreatitis, 34.1% in necrotizing acute pancreatitis, and 27.4% in patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome; 27.8% delayed cholecystectomy after biliary acute pancreatitis. Participants with publications in PubMed on acute pancreatitis showed better compliance (OR, 1.62; 95% CI: 1.15-2.32; P = .007) with recommendations of the clinical guidelines. CONCLUSIONS Feeding and nutrition require the greatest improvement efforts, but also the use of prophylactic antibiotics and timing of cholecystectomy should be improved.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Although fluid resuscitation is recommended by the Society of Critical Care Medicine Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guidelines, risks of volume overload persist.The objective of this systematic review is to assess the effects of a restrictive fluid resuscitation approach in the septic patient both during and after the initial resuscitation period (30 ml/kg). DESIGN A systematic review and meta-analysis with trial sequential analysis (TSA) of randomized controlled trials was conducted. Two blinded reviewers independently assessed and included studies that evaluated adult patients with sepsis involving a comparator group with an effective restrictive fluid resuscitation approach. The primary outcome was mortality. Secondary outcomes included rates of acute kidney injury (AKI), renal replacement therapy (RRT), ventilator days, intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital length of stay (LOS), duration of vasopressor therapy, and limb (or digital) ischemia. SETTING PubMed and Medline databases were queried for the search. PATIENTS A total of eight trials in 2375 patients were included. INTERVENTION Effective restrictive fluid resuscitation compared with standard of care. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The risk of bias was high in six studies and low in two studies, and all studies implemented fluid restriction after a 30-ml/kg infusion of fluids. Fluid restriction did not significantly reduce mortality in all studies compared to usual care (37% vs. 40% with usual care; risk ratio [RR] 0.90, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.76-1.06, p = 0.23, I2 = 24%) or by TSA findings. There were no significant differences in rates of AKI or RRT (5 studies), LOS in ICU (4 studies) or hospital (3 studies), duration of vasopressor therapy (6 studies), or incidence of limb or digital ischemia (3 studies). However, fluid restriction significantly reduced ventilator days as evaluated in seven studies (mean difference - 1.25 days, 95% CI -1.92 to -0.58 days, p = 0.0003, I2 = 90%). CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that a restrictive resuscitation strategy in sepsis resulted in no difference in mortality but may reduce ventilator days. Larger randomized trials are required to determine the optimal management of fluids in patients with sepsis.

Abstract
Fluid therapy is the cornerstone of early supportive therapy in acute pancreatitis (AP). Regrettably, the type of fluid is still debated among clinicians, despite recent evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs). We aimed to incorporate all evidence from RCTs comparing lactated Ringer's solution (LR) with normal saline (NS) in adult and pediatric AP patients, with particular emphasis on clinically relevant outcomes. We evaluated RCTs comparing intravenous fluid resuscitation with LR to NS in adult or pediatric AP patients according to a prospectively registered protocol (CRD42021224542). Moderate-to-severe AP (MSAP), mortality, length of hospitalization (LoH), need for intensive care, the incidence of systemic (organ failure, OF) and local complications (in total), necrosis and pseudocyst formation were analyzed separately. Risk ratio (RR) and median difference (MD) were calculated with 95% confidence intervals (CI) using a random effect model. Risk of bias and quality of evidence were assessed. Altogether, 8 eligible RCTs were found, including 557 patients (LR: 278; NS: 279). LR reduced the risk of MSAP by 31% (RR: 0.59, 95% CI: 0.36-0.97, high quality) and the risk of death by 62% (RR: 0.48; 95% CI: 0.24-0.98, very low quality). LR was associated with a significantly lower risk of need for intensive care (RR: 0.50, 95% CI: 0.33-0.77), OF (RR: 0.78, 95% CI: 0.61-0.99) and local complications (RR: 0.64, 95% CI: 0.46-0.89). No significant risk reduction was observed for LoH (MD: -0.57 days, CI: -1.33-0.19), necrosis, pseudocyst and inflammatory parameters by LR compared to NS. LR reduces severity, mortality, need of intensive care and systemic and local complications in AP.

Abstract
Background Stroke volume variation (SVV) and pulse pressure variation (PPV) are based on the interaction between the heart and lungs during mechanical ventilation. However, debate continues as to whether SVV and PPV can accurately predict fluid responsiveness during the one-lung ventilation (OLV). We therefore undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trials that investigated the diagnostic value of SVV and PPV in predicting fluid responsiveness undergoing OLV during thoracic surgery. Methods The MEDLINE, EMBASE, WANFANG, and CENTRAL databases were systematically searched for studies on the use of SVV and/or PPV in patients undergoing OLV from 2010 to 2021. Heterogeneity was assessed using I2 statistics. The funnel diagram analysis was used to test publication bias. A fixed-effects model was used to calculate the pooled values of sensitivity, specificity, the diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), and the relevant 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). The summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curves were estimated, and the areas under the SROC curve were calculated. Results In total nine studies, comprising 452 patients were ultimately included in this meta-analysis, including 217 (48%) responders and 235 (52%) nonresponders. After combining the correlation coefficients, a slight heterogeneity was found between SVV and PPV in these selected studies (I2 SVV =19.7%, I2 PPV =15.3%), and the funnel diagram also showed that the P values of SVV and PPV were 0.33 and 0.26. After the pooled analysis, the respective sensitivity of SVV and PPV in predicting fluid responsiveness was 0.66 and 0.61, the specificity was 0.62 and 0.53, the positive likelihood ratios were 1.7 and 1.3, the negative likelihood ratios were 0.55 and 0.74, and the DORs were 3 and 2. The areas under the SROC curve of SVV and PPV were 0.68 and 0.60, respectively, according to STATA SE16 software, and the combined areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of SVV and PPV were 0.681 and 0.604, respectively, according to MedCalc19.0.4 software. Conclusions Current evidence suggests that SVV and PPV are not suitable for guiding intraoperative fluid therapy due to their poor ability to predict fluid responsiveness in patients undergoing OLV, and we need a better indicator instead.

Abstract
Introduction Sepsis is a life-threatening and common cause of Emergency department (ED) referrals. Out-of-hour staffing is limited in ED, which may potentially affect fluid administration. This study aimed to investigate fluid volume variation in out-of-hour vs. routine-hour admissions. Methods The present study is a post-hoc analysis of a multicentre, prospective, observational study investigating fluid administration in ED patients with suspected infection, from Jan 20th - March 2nd, 2020. Patient groups were "routine-hours" (RH): weekdays 07:00-18:59 or "out-of-hours" (OOH): weekdays 19:00-06:59 or Friday 19:00-Monday 06:59. Primary outcome was 24-hour total fluid volumes (oral + intravenous (IV)). Secondary outcomes were total fluids 0-6 hours, oral fluids 0-6 and 0-24 hours, and IV fluids 0-6 and 0-24 hours. Linear regression adjusted for site and illness severity was used. Results 734 patients had suspected infection; 449 were admitted during RH and 287 during OOH. Mean (95% CI) total 24-hour fluid volumes were equal in simple infection and sepsis regardless of admission time: Simple infection RH: 3640 (3410 - 3871) ml and OOH: 3681 (3451 - 3913) ml. Sepsis RH: 3671 (3443;3898) ml and OOH: 3896 (3542;4250) ml. Oral fluids 0-6h were reduced in simple infection and sepsis among OOH vs. RH. Sepsis patients received more 0-6-hour IV fluid when admitted OOH vs. RH. There were no associations between admission time and 0-24-hour oral or IV volumes in simple infection or sepsis. Conclusion Admission time did not have an association with 24-hour total fluid volumes. Sepsis patients admitted during OOH received more 0-6-hour IV fluids than RH patients, and simple infection and sepsis patients received less oral fluid in 0-6 hours if admitted during OOH vs. RH.

Abstract
AIM Determination of the physical compatibility of acetaminophen and two different electrolyte solutions (an isotonic, balanced electrolyte solution and a hypotonic, glucose containing electrolyte solution) with drugs frequently used in routine pediatric intensive care. METHODS Analytical investigations for frequently used combinations without pre-existing data were performed. Visual and microscopic observations according to the European Pharmacopeia as well as pH measurements and ultraviolet visible spectrometry at wavelengths of 350, 410 and 550 nm were conducted to analyze physical compatibility. All measurements were performed immediately after mixing as well as 1, 4, and 24 h after. RESULTS In total, 42 combinations were analyzed. Visual incompatibilities were found with pantoprazole and diazepam with both electrolyte solutions. For furosemide, a particle formation in mixture with the hypotonic glucose-containing electrolyte solution and a change in pH ≥ 0.5 after 24 h with both electrolyte solutions were observed. Ampicillin, cefuroxime, diazepam, furosemide, linezolid, meropenem, and pantoprazole showed an aberration of the absorbance ≥0.04 (350 nm/410 nm) or ≥0.01 (550 nm) in the photometric measurements with the electrolyte solutions. For acetaminophen, a physical incompatibility was observed with ampicillin, diazepam, furosemide, and pantoprazole. CONCLUSION Most of the analyzed combinations showed no signs of physical incompatibility and may therefore be administered via the same Y-site. However, diazepam, furosemide, and pantoprazole should not be administered simultaneously with acetaminophen or both electrolyte solutions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) is proposed as a valuable method for hemodynamic monitoring and several ultrasound-based predictors of fluid responsiveness have been studied. The main objective of this study was to assess the accuracy of these predictors in children. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for relevant publications through July 2022. Pediatric studies reporting accuracy estimates of ultrasonographic predictors of fluid responsiveness were included since they had used a standard definition of fluid responsiveness and had performed an adequate fluid challenge. RESULTS Twenty-three studies involving 1028 fluid boluses were included, and 12 predictors were identified. A positive response to fluid infusion was observed in 59.7% of cases. The vast majority of participants were mechanically ventilated (93.4%). The respiratory variation in aortic blood flow peak velocity (∆Vpeak) was the most studied predictor, followed by the respiratory variation in inferior vena cava diameter (∆IVC). The pooled sensitivity and specificity of ∆Vpeak were 0.84 (95% CI, 0.76-0.90) and 0.82 (95% CI, 0.75-0.87), respectively, and the area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve (AUSROC) was 0.89 (95% CI, 0.86-0.92). The ∆IVC presented a pooled sensitivity and specificity of 0.79 (95% CI, 0.62-0.90) and 0.70 (95% CI, 0.51-0.84), respectively, and an AUSROC of 0.81 (95% CI, 0.78-0.85). Significant heterogeneity in accuracy estimates across studies was observed. CONCLUSIONS POCUS has the potential to accurately predict fluid responsiveness in children. However, only ∆Vpeak was found to be a reliable predictor. There is a lack of evidence supporting the use of POCUS to guide fluid therapy in spontaneously breathing children.

Abstract
Introduction Infections, including sepsis, are leading causes of death and fluid administration is part of the treatment. The optimal fluid therapy remains controversial. If the patient is transported by Emergency Medical Services (EMS), fluids can be initiated during transportation, which may result in increased overall fluid administration and fluid overload, which may be harmful. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of EMS transportation on 24-h fluid administration in patients with suspected infection. Methods This is a post hoc study of a prospective, multicenter, observational study, conducted in three Danish Emergency Departments (EDs), 20 January-2 March 2020, aiming at describing fluid administration in patients with suspected infection. Patients were stratified into the groups: simple infection or sepsis, in accordance with SEPSIS-3-guidelines. The primary outcome of the current study was 24-h total fluid volume (oral and intravenous) stratified by transportation mode to the EDs. Main results Total 24-h fluids were registered for 734 patients. Patients with simple infection or sepsis arriving by EMS (n = 388, 54%) received mean 3,774 ml (standard deviation [SD]: 1900) and non-EMS received 3,627 ml (SD: 1568); mean difference (MD) was 303 ml [95% CI: 32; 573] adjusted for age, site, and total SOFA-score. Patients brought in by EMS received more intravenous fluids (MD: 621 ml [95% CI: 378; 864]) and less oral fluids (MD: -474 ml [95% CI: -616; -333]) than non-EMS patients. Conclusion Patients transported by EMS received more intravenous fluids and less oral fluids but overall, more fluid in total in the first 24-h than non-EMS after adjusting for age, site and SOFA-score.

Abstract
Background Haemorrhage and subsequent hypovolemia from traumatic injury is a potentially reversible cause of cardiac arrest, as interventions can be made to increase circulatory volume and organ perfusion. Traditionally, intravenous (IV) fluid therapy is recommended for all patients who have experienced a haemorrhagic emergency. There has been some argument, however, that this may not be the most effective treatment as isotonic fluids can dilute coagulation factors and further stimulate bleeding. Permissive hypotension, also known as hypotensive resuscitation within the context of damage control resuscitation, is a method of managing haemorrhagic trauma patients by restricting IV fluid administration to allow for a reduced blood pressure. It is important to evaluate and compare current research literature on the effects of both permissive hypotension and fluid therapy on patients suffering from traumatic haemorrhage. Methods A rapid review was conducted by systematically searching and identifying literature to narratively compare permissive hypotension and fluid therapy. Searches were carried out across two databases to find relevant primary research containing quantitative data that provide contextual and statistical evidence to achieve the aim of this review. Papers were narratively synthesised to produce key themes for discussion. Results The database searches identified 125 records, 78 from PubMed and 47 from ScienceDirect. Eleven duplicates were removed, and 114 titles screened. Ninety-four records were initially excluded and nine more after abstract review. Eleven papers were critiqued using Benton and Cormack's framework, with eight articles included in the final review. Conclusion Permissive hypotension may have a positive impact on 30-day mortality, when compared with fluid resuscitation methods, however there is evidence to suggest that hypotensive resuscitation may be more effective for blunt force injuries. Some studies even suggest a reduction in the treatment cost when reducing fluid volumes. Penetrating injuries are usually more likely to be a compressible source of haemorrhage within which haemorrhage control can be gained much more easily. There are recommendations for the use of permissive hypotension in both compressible and non-compressible injuries. It is difficult at this time to draw definitive conclusions for the treatment of every case related to traumatic haemorrhage given the variability and unpredictability of trauma.
