Objective: To describe fluid resuscitation practices in Brazilian intensive care units and to compare them with those of other countries participating in the Fluid-TRIPS.
Methods: This was a prospective, international, cross-sectional, observational study in a convenience sample of intensive care units in 27 countries (including Brazil) using the Fluid-TRIPS database compiled in 2014. We described the patterns of fluid resuscitation use in Brazil compared with those in other countries and identified the factors associated with fluid choice.
Background: The aim of this study was to determine whether plasma superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, in comparison with other oxidative parameters, is associated with mortality in humans with septic.
Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study including 96 patients with septic. Blood samples were collected immediately after study inclusion and 24 hours after.
