Official title

Assessing Targeted Fluid Resuscitation Strategies Among Patients With Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

IV fluid resuscitation has long been recognized to be an important treatment for patients with severe sepsis and septic shock. While under-resuscitation is known to increase morbidity and mortality, contemporary data suggests that overly aggressive fluid resuscitation may also be harmful. Currently, following an initial IVF resuscitation of 30 ml/kg, there is no standard of care and a lack of evidence to support a fluid restrictive or more liberal strategy. The investigators seek to determine if a fluid restrictive strategy reduces morbidity and mortality among patients with severe sepsis and septic shock.
