Assessing Targeted Fluid Resuscitation Strategies Among Patients With Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Intravenous Fluid Cap for Septic Shock and Severe Sepsis. Completed, enrolled 113 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
IV fluid resuscitation has long been recognized to be an important treatment for patients with severe sepsis and septic shock. While under-resuscitation is known to increase morbidity and mortality, contemporary data suggests that overly aggressive fluid resuscitation may also be harmful. Currently, following an initial IVF resuscitation of 30 ml/kg, there is no standard of care and a lack of evidence to support a fluid restrictive or more liberal strategy. The investigators seek to determine if a fluid restrictive strategy reduces morbidity and mortality among patients with severe sepsis and septic shock.
