SEPSIS, ARDS, DYSFUNCTION
In sepsis-induced ARDS, both fluid management strategies based either on GEDVI or EVLWI improve arterial oxygenation and attenuate organ dysfunction. Active fluid removal is more efficient in patients with pulmonary ARDS, regardless of the choice of volumetric targets for de-escalation. Further studies of adequately controlled goal-directed protocols of fluid therapy for patients with sepsis and ARDS are warranted.
