Filter by:This study is a multi-center, prospective, randomized (2:1), open-label study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of DSR therapy using the Infusate 2.0 peritoneal solution (composed of 30% icodextrin and 10% dextrose) in diuretic resistant patients with HF and persistent volume overload.
The purpose of this pilot study is to overcome the limited evidence on enteral fluid administration in intensive care medicine and to generate data for further hypothesis generation in an exploratory setting. This trial is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, parallel group, open-label study to compare the current standard of practice, the intravenous fluid administration, with a more physiological approach, the enteral fluid administration, in critically ill patients.
A quasi experimental study that aims to verify whether the incorporation of VExUS in patients with AKI in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) may prompt tailored interventions to increases the number of days free from Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT) during the first 28 days.
The investigators hypothesize that a simple assessment of peripheral venous pressure (PVP) will better predict the diuretic need and long-term outcomes (all cause mortality, all cause rehospitalization, emergency department visits) compared to standard evaluation.
Randomized, unblinded clinical trial of 152 critically ill patients with sepsis admitted to the intensive care unit. The primary determine if using the Venous Excess Ultrasound Score (VExUS) to guide fluid deresuscitation in critically ill patients with sepsis reduces net fluid balance at 5 days as compared to usual care.
A common complication of the progression of cirrhosis is fluid retention (ascites, edema, or pleural effusion). Loop diuretics are the treatment of choice for fluid retention in cirrhotic patients; however, many of these patients demonstrate diuretic resistance, requiring higher doses of the diuretics to achieve adequate diuresis. The cause of this diuretic resistance is hypothesized to be secondary to hypoalbuminemia which has led some providers to give human albumin in combination with loop diuretics to increase intravascular volume and facilitate diuresis. However, this practice remains controversial because minimal data exists to support its efficacy. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of diuretics alone versus diuretics in combination with albumin in cirrhotic patients presenting with fluid retention.
