It is well known, that patients with circulatory impairment sometimes, but not always, benefit from intravenous fluids. Predicting if a fluid administration will improve circulation is therefore of substantial clinical interest. Ventilator treatment induces cyclic variation in blood pressure due to interaction between the lungs and the heart. This variation is minor, but its amplitude may be used for guiding fluid administration. However, this method of using ventilator-induced variation in blood pressure to predict the effect of fluid administration was developed when different settings for ventilator treatment was recommended, compared with today. With today's recommend ventilator treatment, the method is, unfortunately, less reliable. The investigators will investigate how different ventilator settings influence variation in blood pressure, and the investigators will test if this knowledge allows us to better predict the effect of a fluid administration, by taking the ventilator settings into account.
With this prospective controlled trial, we hope to obtain more information about the coexistence between venous insufficiency and nocturia. In our opinion, venous insufficiency (CEAP 2-3a) leads to an increase in fluid accumulation in the lower limbs due to moving around all day. When laying down during nighttime, this fluid is reabsorbed into the systimic fluid pool, leading to an increase in diuresis and thus an increase in nocturnal voiding. Aim of this study is observe difference in nocturnal frequency and urine production before and after surgical treatment of venous insufficiency.
The renal Doppler resistive index (RRI) is a noninvasive tool that has been used to assess renal perfusion in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting. It is associated with the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI). Many parameters have been described as influential on the values of renal RI. Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion were shown to be able to increase renal oxygenation in animal model, whereas crystalloid resuscitation did not. We sought to describe the different effect of crystalloids infusion and RBC transfusion on renal blood flow, as evaluated with doppler ultrasound
Babies can be born with heart problems and sometimes need a heart surgery to fix the heart problem. Heart surgery can cause swelling from the build-up of extra fluid. Swelling can make it harder for babies to breath and has to be treated with medicine called diuretics. Swelling is hard to measure in babies, so it can be hard to know how much diuretic they need to treat the swelling. The investigators are looking for a better way to measure swelling in babies who have had heart surgery. Ultrasound uses sound waves to take pictures of the inside of the body. Ultrasound is used to take pictures of babies before they are born and to take pictures of their heart after they are born. New ultrasound software has been made from a company called MuscleSound that can quickly measure the amount of swelling in adults, usually in less than 2 minutes. This software has not yet been used to measure swelling in kids. This study plans to learn more about swelling in babies and will try to measure swelling in babies before and after heart surgery with the new ultrasound software. The study will also make the same measurements in babies who do not have heart disease to compare to babies having heart surgery.
Fluid overload is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with severe acute kidney injury. It remains unclear if fluid overload is merely a marker of disease severity or if organ congestion is a mediator of complications. Point-of-care ultrasound could be a modality used to assess organ congestion and its clinical implications. The objective of this study is to determine whether ultrasound markers of organ congestion are associated with major adverse kidney events in critically ill patients with severe acute kidney injury.
Pathophysiology of perioperative fluid management in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy.
This is a randomized controlled clinical trial which investigates whether goal directed fluid therapy( GDT ) would show the evidence of benefit from GDT in terms of lactate kinetics then may reduce postoperative complications in patients undergoing spine surgery, especially in prone positions.
The amount of fluids characterized as non-resuscitation fluids given to ICU patients are likely to be high and will probably have a substantial impact on the total amount of fluid administered to ICU patients daily. It will most likely also influence on the total fluid balance and the negative outcome of fluid overload. The aim of our study is to investigate the amount of fluid given as maintenance fluids in the ICU and the impact of this fluid on total fluid balance.
The first objective of this study is to compare the liberal fluid management (LFM) with PVI guided goal-directed fluid management (GDFM) in gynecologic oncologic cases in terms of controlled intraoperative fluid balance, blood lactate levels, hemodynamic parameters, and postoperative serum creatinine levels. 112 patients who are in ASA I-II-lll risk groups included in this prospective study.
