Groups2
Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Restrictive Fluids | The general approach will be to use vasopressors to treat hypotension as opposed to intravenous fluids. Maintenance fluids should not be used.~Early Vasopressors: Norepinephrine will be used as preferred vasopressor and titrated to achieve mean arterial pressure (MAP) between 65 mmHg and 75 mmHg. Rescue fluids may be administered as 500ml boluses if predefined rescue criteria are met. | 172 | 768 | EG000 |
| Group 2 | Liberal Fluids | The general approach is to use fluid boluses to treat hypotension.~Early Fluids: Additional 2 liter intravenous fluid infusion upon enrollment (may forego second liter if MAP/SBP and heart rate are normalized and clinical assessment if patient is fluid replete after the first liter). Administer 500ml fluid boluses for fluid triggers until 5 liters administered or development of clinical signs of acute volume overload develop. Rescue vasopressors may be administered after 5 liters of fluid, for development of acute volume overload, or if other predefined rescue criteria are met. Any type of isotonic crystalloid (normal saline, ringers lactate, balanced solution such as plasmalyte) is permitted. | 169 | 773 | EG001 |

Harm
- What it counts
- Total, all-cause mortality
- Time frame
Assessment for adverse events was performed from trial enrollment through study day 6 (five days after completion of the study fluid protocol) or Hospital discharge, whichever occurs first. All-Cause All-Location Mortality was assessed up to 90 days from randomization. Please note that this outcome measure differs from the primary outcome of death before discharge home by day 90 and includes deaths after discharge home before day 90.
