The exact mechanism is not known… It was previously believed that it was due to rapid changes in serum osmolality during initial fluidresuscitation. Factors associated with adverse outcomes in children with diabetic ketoacidosis-related cerebral edema. or serum bicarbonate between 11-17 mmol/L Moderate : venous pH < 7.2
Outcomes and patients The primary outcome was 90-day in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes included code activation, pressor therapy, initiation of HD, MDROs, and C. Process measures suggested that doctors and nurses responded to the alerts with increased testing of lactate levels and fluidresuscitation.
7 Workup other than serum iron concentration at 4 hours after ingestion not shown to accurately predict clinical outcomes or severity of toxicity. Aggressive fluidresuscitation as patients may be severely hypovolemic from GI symptoms. 6 Absence of visualized tablets on x-ray does not exclude iron ingestion. 2 L/hr in adults.
This systematic review and meta-analysis attempts to elucidate whether a more conservative fluidresuscitation approach is warranted in volume sensitive sepsis patients, such as those with congestive heart failure (CHF). Outcomes: Primary Outcome: In-hospital mortality. Am J Emerg Med. 2023;73:34-39. 2.89, p = 0.01.
Judicious fluidresuscitation is indicated in patients with signs of hypo perfusion but is often inadequate necessitating the administration of vasoactive medications. At the most severe end, this includes endothelial dysfunction leading to increased vascular permeability, abnormal nitric oxide metabolism, and vasodilation (i.e.
vs 3U) but no difference in mortality (Study not powered for this outcome) Clinical Take Home Point: The use of vasopressors is controversial and requires a nuanced approach SUMMARY OF MINIMIZING IATROGENIC INJURY RESTORE PERFUSION VOLUME REPLACEMENT Blood Products >>> Crystalloids Holcomb JB et al.

Stercoral Colitis in the Emergency Department: A Retrospective Review of Presentation, Management, and Outcomes. Mathis, K. L., & Lindor, R. link] Chakravartty, S.,
Establish IV access and begin fluidresuscitation with 250ml boluses of 0.9% This includes adequate pain control, fluidresuscitation, and stabilization of any systemic complications. Proper stabilization and detailed communication with the burns centre are essential for optimal patient outcomes.
This should include early identification of life-threatening injuries, targeted fluidresuscitation using blood products, pain management, then eventual safeguarding and psychological support. Establish IV access for potential fluidresuscitation. You feel the patient needs fluidresuscitation.
Further, the treating clinician must have deemed either normal saline or balanced crystalloid as appropriate resuscitation options; the patient’s expected-admission to the ICU must have been at least 3 days. Death, from any cause, within 90 days of randomization was the primary outcome.
In such cases, would you wait for a lactate, white blood cell count, bandemia, or other diagnostics to confirm a source of infection before starting antibiotics, fluidresuscitation, and/or pressors? In this study, clinical gestalt is not only fast, but accurate for the benefit of timely resuscitation and intervention.
mL/kg/hr for 2 consecutive hours OR Decrease in serum lactate by more than 10% from initial level Primary outcome – Early norepinephrine group vs. the control group demonstrated higher rates of shock control at 6 hours: 76.1% vs 48.4% (OR 3.4, vs 48.4% (OR 3.4, vs 48.4% (OR 3.4, vs 48.4% (OR 3.4,
There are also potential harms to large volume fluidresuscitation including progression of pancreatitis and fluid overload with or without respiratory failure. Though the initial recommendation for aggressive fluidresuscitation was not based on substantial evidence, clinicians have been slow to pivot away from this approach.
Background: DKA is traditionally treated with fluidresuscitation, electrolyte replacement, and intravenous infusions of insulin. No statistical differences in safety between groups Operational Impact Median ED LOS (PRIMARY OUTCOME): SQuID: 8.9hrs (6.5 tests/hr (0.8 Traditional: 1.0 tests/hr (0.8 Pre-Intervention: 1.0
The time taken to measure serum hemoglobin and hematocrit (B) and await a result would delay definitive surgical control of likely ongoing hemorrhage given this patient’s incomplete response to fluidresuscitation. Spontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma: etiology, characteristics, management, and outcome. J Emerg Med. 2011.06.006.
Fluid management Goal is euvolemia Dehydration – needs IV fluidresuscitation. Hypervolemia – leads to pulmonary edema: Consider diuresis If euvolemic – start maintenance fluids of D5 in 0.45%NS Causes and outcomes of the acute chest syndrome in sickle cell disease. times maintenance.
These guidelines present the best available evidence to support clinical decision making in the prehospital setting when TBI care may have the most significant impact on outcomes; they also establish a research agenda for future investigations. This document is an update of guidelines first published in 2000, and then updated in 2007.
So, fluid has been tried but has not got close to fixing the problem. In middle-to-high-income countries, after 40-60ml/kg of fluidresuscitation, the Surviving Sepsis Campaign International Guidelines recommend using vasoactive drugs. The wide pulse pressure and transient response would suggest an afterload problem.

Am J Emerg Med. N Engl J Med.
Two large, cluster-randomized trials ( SMART and SALT-ED ) showed a small benefit to the use of balanced crystalloids in preventing a composite outcome of Major Adverse Kidney Events within 30 days (aka MAKE-30). There was no interaction between fluid type or rate of infusion with the primary outcome of 90-day survival.
the investigators reviewed outcomes in 118 patients presenting with NSTEMI. Yet recognition of acute RV MI is extremely important clinically — because emergency treatment will often require different priorities (ie, avoidance of nitroglycerine; fluidresuscitation for hypotension ). 118.007305) from Heitner et al. ,
Flood syndrome- start fluids, give antibiotics, consult surgery. Be careful with fluidresuscitation in renal transplant patients who can be at risk for volume overload. Have a high suspicion for infection in transplant patients. Immunosuppression can blunt the typical immune response.
Prolonged CPR should be considered as outcomes are generally good, even if asystole is the presenting rhythm. Judicious fluidresuscitation is critical; patients may become volume-deplete due to fluid loss/oedema secondary to burns.
Favorable infertility outcomes following anti-tubercular treatment prescribed on the sole basis of a positive polymerase chain reaction test for endometrial tuberculosis. Incidence, treatment and outcome of peripartum sepsis. Plasma cell endometritis is associated with Chlamydia trachomatis infection. Am J Clin Pathol. PMID: 10439801.
Hemodynamic resuscitation Key Concept: Patients with hemodynamic instability and/or suspected ongoing bleeding should receive intravenous fluidresuscitation with the goal of optimization of blood pressure and heart rate before endoscopic evaluation/intervention. (Conditional recommendation, low-quality evidence).
This was the same principle as in the Rivers trial: the standard care group is the ‘control’ group against which changes in outcome for the ‘intervention’ group are compared. Prehospital intravenous access and fluidresuscitation in severe sepsis: an observational cohort study. Academic Emergency Medicine. 2014 Oct 28;:1–9.
In the emergency department (ED), physicians face the challenge of making rapid decisions that can significantly impact patient outcomes. However, the persistence of tachycardia despite fluidresuscitation and dosing with lorazepam to help with his panic disorder raised concerns that warranted further investigation.
The scheduled, usually elective nature of cardiac surgery lends itself to large scale outcome prediction and indeed, cardiac surgery has found its outcomes examined very closely over the past few decades. Likely driven by rewarming induced vasodilation and hypothermia induced diuresis they can be hypovolaemic.
1,2 Clinical outcomes in submersion injuries are largely dependent on the degree of hypoxic injury experienced by the victim, making prehospital care of paramount importance. Fluidresuscitation will likely be warranted, and with crystalloid solution is most appropriate. pediatric hospitals. Acad Pediatr. 2024;24(4):677-685.
Intervention: Ceftriaxone 2g IV * Control: Usual care (fluidresuscitation and supplementary oxygen) * Outcome: * Primary: All-cause mortality at 28 days
The primary outcome of the study was the response in MAP three hours after the start of angiotensin II infusion. It showed improvement in blood pressure which is a clinically important parameter but not a patient-oriented outcome. However, one limitation of the study was that it was underpowered to demonstrate a mortality difference.
There could be any number of reasons for this but some examples are: they have severe D&V and aren’t keeping fluids down, or because they are pre or post-op, or have presented very unwell and need fluidresuscitation. saline + 5% dextrose or plasma-lyte 148 + 5% dextrose. Boluses were given in 20-40ml/kg aliquots.
Fluidresuscitation should be initiated. There are few data on the outcomes of UGIB when balloon tamponade is used as a temporizing measure. Outcomes in variceal hemorrhage following the use of a balloon tamponade device. Patients should be assessed for evidence of hypovolemia or active exsanguination. Acad Emerg Med.
The CLASSIC trial is a randomized controlled trial conducted in the ICU setting which compared restrictive versus standard fluid strategies with a primary outcome of death by 90 days in patients with septic shock. Safety outcomes Serious adverse event occurrences were similar in both groups. versus 59.2%). versus 14.9%
Septic sheep randomized to early, rapid volume resuscitation had greater vasopressor requirements 12 hours after initial fluid bolus. It is suggested that rapid, fluidresuscitation generates an abrupt rise in atrial natriuretic peptide, shears the glycocalyx which then impairs vascular reactivity. more than 2].
She receives fluidresuscitation, and you organise some tests to find out why she is so tired. Early Volume Expansion and Outcomes of Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome. Treatment and outcome of Shiga-toxin-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). 4-year-old Stephanie presents with vomiting, diarrhoea, and lethargy.
Despite advancements in neonatal care, NEC remains a significant concern due to its association with adverse outcomes, including prolonged hospitalisation, the need for surgical intervention, and increased mortality rates. What is the pathophysiology of necrotising enterocolitis? How do you treat necrotising enterocolitis? Can we prevent NEC?
And sepsis-3 redefined septic shock as “hypotension not responsive to fluidresuscitation” with the added requirement of vasopressors to maintain a MAP greater than or equal to 65 and with a lactate > 2. Let’s start with fluids. Patient’s need adequate fluidresuscitation. So quite a few changes!
8 Based on multiple randomized controlled trials (RCTs), SSC 2021 guidelines suggest against using procalcitonin as a screening method to guide initiation of antibiotic therapy, as no difference in clinical outcomes was appreciated. 15 Two changes were elucidated in the 2021 SSC guidelines for fluidresuscitation.
This patient’s recent diarrheal illness raises suspicion for hypovolemia, which would be treated with fluidresuscitation (D) , but her moist oral mucosa and dilated inferior vena cava suggest an eu- or hypervolemic state. Additional fluids will not improve her condition and may worsen it. J Neurosurg. 2006;105(2):264-270.
