Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), triggered by SARS-CoV-2, has represented a global pandemic associated with an elevated rate of mortality, mainly among older individuals.

The aim of this retrospective, observational study was to assess the impact of COVID-19 in patients with a prior diagnosis of HF referred to the Emergency Department of the Agostino Gemelli University Hospital between March 2020 and January 2023.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the prognostic impact of completing 30 mL/kg fluid resuscitation within 1 h in elderly septic shock patients.
Methods: This was a multicenter prospective observational cohort study. We applied logistic regression to assess the impact of completing 30 mL/kg fluid resuscitation within 1 h on respiratory support escalation including new-onset mechanical ventilation, bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP), and high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) as well as heart failure (HF).
