Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates fluid intake in ICU patients at risk of negative outcomes due to excessive fluid balance, highlighting the need for fluid optimization beyond traditional resuscitation.
  • Conducted across multiple ICUs in France and Spain, it recorded the types and volumes of fluids administered to patients needing vasopressors or invasive ventilation over a 24-hour period.
  • Results indicate that only 36% of the total fluid volume was essential for body fluid homeostasis, with significant variations in fluid administration based on the specific ICU, suggesting a strong center effect on fluid management practices.
