Excerpt
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is often associated with sepsis, and one recommended approach in the fluid management of ARDS is to keep sepses dry. On the other hand, optimal fluid management after the early phase of septic shock remains unknown. An excessive positive fluid balance in patients with septic shock is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. We implemented an optimal fluid management (OFM) protocol using the PiCCO system from April 2009. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the OFM protocol in comparison with historical controls. …
