Brief Summary:
This is a single-center retrospective study conducted at Mercy hospital, aiming to investigate the correlation between changes in hemoglobin (Hb) levels and the volume of vascular refill administered during the first 48 hours.
Detailed Description:
Vascular refill is central to the initial management of hypotension in sepsis, and is often started even before the patient is admitted to intensive care. Over the past 20 years, we have moved from ultraliberal fluid resuscitation to restrictive resuscitation. Indeed, in the early 2000s, the implementation of an early and aggressive hemodynamic optimization strategy, including liberal vascular filling, improved the survival of critically ill patients, and ushered in the era of the Surviving Sepsis Campaign. However, studies have shown increased morbidity and mortality associated with a positive fluid balance. Restrictive approaches to fluid resuscitation and/or deressuscitation were then tested. While these approaches failed to demonstrate any benefit in terms of mortality, they did have the merit of demonstrating their feasibility and good tolerability, albeit with a little-explored pathophysiology. Little is known about the problem of dilutional anemia in the acute phase of septic shock.
