Fluid Challenge, Fluid Responsiveness, Hypotension, Shock
Conditions
Brief summary
Fluid challenge is often carried out in critical ill patients. Its responsiveness usually requires invasive monitoring. To use non-invasive methods is very tempting. Investigators hypothesize that transcutaneous pO2,transcutaneous pCO2 and Central Venous SO2 variations provide feasible estimation on fluid responsiveness in critical ill patients.
Interventions
A bag of 500ml of normal saline or 4% gelatin (Gelofusine, B. Braun Medical (Suzhou) Company Limited, Suzhou, China) is infused within 15 minutes using a bag pressurized to 300 mmHg. All other treatments, including maintenance fluids, dose of vasoactive agents and ventilator settings, remain unchanged during the study period.

Participant flow
Participants by arm
| Arm | Count |
|---|---|
| Septic Shock Adult patients (at least 18 years of age) with refractory hypotension secondary to sepsis who, at the discretion of treating physicians, required fluid challenge in the presence of invasive hemodynamic monitoring. Refractory hypotension was defined as need of vasopressors to maintain systolic blood pressure (SBP) no less than 90 mmHg despite adequate fluid resuscitation. | 40 |
