Background: Low-volume hypertonic solutions, such as half-molar lactate (LAC), may be a potential treatment used for fluid resuscitation. This study aimed to evaluate the underlying cardiovascular effects and mechanisms of LAC infusion compared to sodium-matched hypertonic sodium chloride (SAL).
Methods: Eight healthy male participants were randomized in a controlled, single-blinded, crossover study.

Introduction: Sepsis is an uncontrolled systemic response to infection that leads to life-threatening organ dysfunction. The in-hospital mortality rate remains significantly high in septic shock patients with malignancies. This study investigates whether early and high-volume administration of sodium bicarbonate during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) can reduce 28-day mortality, increase shock reversal rates, and shorten the duration of CRRT, mechanical ventilation, and intensive care unit (ICU) stays.

Background: The incidence of pulmonary complications following lobectomy remains substantial, with postoperative fluid volume playing a pivotal role. However, the optimal management of fluids after lobectomy remains uncertain. This study aimed to establish a benchmark for perioperative fluid overload in patients undergoing pulmonary surgery by comparing the incidence of pulmonary complications following standard surgical procedures among patients with varying fluid volumes.

Peripheral nerve blocks are typically avoided for high-speed tibial plateau fractures due to their ability to mask the paresthesias and pain associated with the feared complication of acute compartment syndrome (ACS). We present a case in which sciatic nerve and adductor canal catheters were placed utilizing low-volume infusions allowing for neurovascular assessment. These catheters served as a valuable portion of the multi-modal pain regimen in this patient with a Schatzker VI tibial plateau fracture.
