Brief Summary:
RADAR-2 will be a randomised, open-label, allocation concealed, pilot trial of conservative fluid administration and deresuscitation compared with usual care in patients who are critically ill.
Detailed Description:
The optimal approach to fluid balance in critically ill patients is uncertain. A recent systematic review found low quality evidence in favour of a conservative fluid or deresuscitative approach (active removal of accumulated fluid using diuretics and/or renal replacement therapy) compared with a liberal strategy or usual care. The RADAR-2 pilot randomised trial will compare conservative fluid and deresuscitation with usual care in patients who are mechanically ventilated in an intensive care unit. The main hypothesis is that in critically ill patients, a post-resuscitation fluid strategy comprising conservative fluid administration and active deresuscitation reduces net fluid balance, is safe and improves clinical outcomes.
