SEPSIS, ARDS
At baseline, both study groups were similar with respect to demographic characteristics, origin of sepsis and lung injury, severity of ARDS, organ dysfunction, use of vasopressors, diuretics and CVVH, and fluid balance (At the baseline, most hemodynamic and respiratory parameters (There were also no significant intragroup changes in MAP, HR, CI, or CVP during the 48 h of de-escalation therapy. The SVV and PPV increased significantly at the end of the de-escalation therapy in both groups (After the de-escalation fluid management, PaOWe registered higher baseline EVLWI and lower baseline PaOWe found a weak correlation between a positive cumulative fluid balance at baseline and a negative outcome at Day 28 (
