Brief summary

Hypotheses: The choice of fluid resuscitation preparations selected by clinicians is determined by short term considerations such as time to haemodynamic benefit and fluid volume required rather than by level of evidence, risk of adverse events or cost. Objectives: The primary objective of this study is to identify the attributes that have the largest influence on the choice of fluid used for resuscitation. The secondary objective is to describe a “willingness to spend” threshold (by international region) where clinicians will switch from less expensive preparations to more expensive preparations.

Interventions

The aim of this study is to define and understand the fundamental drivers of fluid resuscitation choice for critically ill patients. The study uses a scenario based survey of clinician preferences using the Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) methodology. The survey will be administered online via a secure database and will take each clinician approximately 20-30 minutes to complete. The study period is anticipated to run for 2-3 months.
