Introduction
Acutely ill patients frequently require fluid repletion
Hypovolemia: external loss & internal loss Relative Hypovolemia: increases venous capacitance
Introduction
Hemorrhage: Benefit / risk of fluid repletion must be assessed
Benefits of delayed resuscitation Large volume of fluid red cell deficit oxygen deficit
Introduction
A method for guiding volume repletion has been
available for 25 yrs based on measurements of the patients response to a fluid load.
In the absence of overt hypovolemia, which patient is likely to respond favorably to fluid administration?
In the absence of overt hypovolemia, which patient is likely to respond favorably to fluid administration?
Extravascular volume deficits do not Lack of reliability based on become clinically apparent until they a static measurement exceed 10% of body weight.

Dynamic Evaluation ?
Ambulatory patient
Provocative test Fluid is given over defined interval Effect on right-sided filling pressures
Misconceptions 1
Fluid administration should be withheld because the central venous pressure is high.
Any
Filling
pressures may paradoxically decline during volume repletion, presumably as a result of decreased sympathetic stimulation.
Misconceptions 2
Fluid administration should be withheld because there is evidence of lung edema on the chest roentgenogram.
Pulmonary Pulmonary
May also be the cause of hypovolemia ! Acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema Extravasation of fluid into the interstitium and alveoli Reduces plasma volume and total blood volume Graded fluid administration reverse hypovolemia (shock)
Misconceptions 3
Fluid administration should be withheld because the patient has already received a large volume in a short time interval.
Was amount of fluid already given insufficient or excessive? The patients objective response to fluid administered over a defined interval, representing the fluid challenge, rather than quantity previously administered is likely to resolve this issue.
Misconceptions 4
Tachycardia is due to fluid deficit and should prompt increases in fluid administration.
Tachycardia has diverse causes !!! Stress, high environmental temperatures, intrinsic heart disease, effects of medications (esp. -agonists) If
there is a fluid deficit, prompt intervention is appropriate and the fluid challenge is likely to reduce the heart rate.
Misconceptions 5
I gave fluids to increase the central venous pressure to 12 mm Hg to exclude an underlying hypovolemia.
NOT SO!
Variable zero reference, the effects of afterload, and increases in intrathoracic pressure (esp. positive pressure ventilation)
Relationships between intravascular volume and filling pressures
Distinguished from conventional fluid administration Fluid replacement to patients with cardiorespiratory failure The fluid challenge is reserved for hemodynamically unstable patients and offers three major advantages:

Filling pressures
Type of Fluid
Crystalloids or Colloids can be used Fluid challenges with colloids allow for more rapid
completion of challenge.
Crystalloid:
Physiologic (0.9%) salt solution (saline)
May increase serum chloride concentrations
Type of Fluid
SAFE study: albumin vs crystalloid solution
Mortality rate was identical
Hypoalbuminemia is associated with higher morbidity Vincent JL et al, Ann Surg 2003; 237:319334: meta-analysis
Albumin administration may reduce complications in critically ill patients
SAFE trial:
Improved survival with albumin in patients with sepsis who are often
hypoalbuminemia (relative risk of death, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.74 1.02; p 0.06) Albumin may be beneficial in this subset of critically ill patients
Type of Fluid
Synthetic colloid solution:
Hydroxyethyl starch solutions:
Less expensive, adverse effects on blood clotting
Gelatins:
Smaller MW, less effective plasma expanders, low cost
Type of Fluid
No intravenous fluid solution that is ideal in all clinical settings No secure data support a preference for one over another
The choice is best made contingent on:
the underlying disease the type of fluid that has been lost
Goal to be Achieved
Identify and Quantitate primary defect Defects that prompt the fluid challenge
Hypotension & tachycardia: most common Oliguria: organ perfusion Skin perfusion (esp. limbs): toe temperature, sublingual CO2
Safety Limits
Pulmonary edema due to congestive heart failure
Most serious complication of fluid infusion PAOP is a more direct indicator than CVP Regard CVP as acceptable in patients who do not have intrinsic heart /
lung disease
Lets see what happens and call me if youre in doubt Can be employed equally by experienced clinicians and trainees Exposes mechanisms and, especially, limited cardiac competence
at one extreme and directs the clinician to search for causes of perfusion failure other than hypovolemia on the other.
It supports the team approach. Physicians, and especially nurses, appreciate the clear end points.
Conclusion
Fluid challenge strategy: not new or complex bedside technique
One of the most useful, basic interventions for management of critically ill
and injured patients
