Early, aggressive fluid resuscitation in acute pancreatitis led to a higher incidence of fluid overload without improving clinical outcomes in the landmark WATERFALL trial. Early aggressive hydration ...

Effective burn resuscitation and fluid management are critical in mitigating the deleterious systemic effects of severe burn injuries. The initial phase of treatment focuses on restoring intravascular ...

"Our results provide some evidence that these patients can be safely volume resuscitated with 30 mL/kg of intravenous fluid when indicated without increased risk of causing adverse events when ...

Use of lactated Ringer solution for fluid resuscitation among patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) and vaso-occlusive episodes was associated with a small -- but significant -- improvement in ...

The severity of acute pancreatitis poses substantial prognostic challenges for healthcare clinicians, with new or persistent SIRS or elevated BUN levels indicating severe progression. Researchers ...

Major burns lead to changes in the gastrointestinal tract bacteria, and these alterations of the gut microbiome are influenced by resuscitation with intravenous (IV) fluids, according to animal ...

In a randomized trial involving patients with acute pancreatitis, early aggressive fluid resuscitation resulted in increased fluid overload without improvement in clinical outcomes.

Understand why routine lactate rechecks every 3–4 hours for days, prompting more fluids and vasopressors, can worsen outcomes.
