For those with sepsis, the administration of intravenous fluids (IVF) at the volumes recommended in the Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) requires careful consideration of an individual’s chronic medical conditions and subsequent sensitivity to IVF. Studies without a clear timeframe for fluid administration.
Fluid management in the Emergency Department (ED) is crucial in the adequate resuscitation of the acutely ill and decompensating patient. Patients present to the ED with hypovolemia secondary to a plethora of causessome requiring IV fluidresuscitation and others requiring none. Fluid Management.
Clinical exam: 2, 3, 9 Abdominal distension and tenderness Nausea and vomiting Stool present in the rectal vault Peritonitis may be accompanied by hemodynamic instability in the case of sepsis. 2-4, 6 If there is a concern for perforation or sepsis, surgical consultation, blood cultures, empiric antibiotics, and fluids are recommended.
Background: Sepsis can induce numerous physiologic derangements. Judicious fluidresuscitation is indicated in patients with signs of hypo perfusion but is often inadequate necessitating the administration of vasoactive medications. Crit Care 2023. septic shock).
