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.
Background: Physical restraint is frequently used in intensive care units to prevent patients' life-threatening removal of indwelling devices. In France, their use is poorly studied. Therefore, to evaluate the need for physical restraint, we have designed and implemented a decision support tool.
