The risks of
fluid
overload
Positive fluid balance looks bad!
Why we might actually need to remove fluid
• Sustained oliguria leads to fluid overload due to obligatory fluid intake in ICU
• Fluid, acid-base, potassium management is much easier if urine output is maintained
• Fluid overload is a real problem
• Let me show you.
The “FACTTs” • NEJM 2006; 354: 1-12
• Comparison of two fluid-management strategies in acute lung injury
• NB: Pneumonia + sepsis >80% of patients
• 503 = conservative strategy
• 497 = liberal strategy

Post-hoc analysis Clin J Am Soc Nephrol. 2011 May;6(5):966-73.
• Aim: explore association b/w FB, diuretics and mortality in AKI patients from FACTT
• 306 of 1000 patients developed AKI in first 2 days
• Post AKI Fluid Balance was significantly associated with mortality…higher frusemide doses had a protective effect which was no longer significant after correction for fluid balance.
• Conclusion: Post AKI diuretic therapy was associated with better 60-days survival – this appeared mediated by more negative fluid balance
Positive fluid balance is bad in AKI

Fluid composition
• Bicarbonate-buffered fluid is the standard composition
• However, citrate CRRT is becoming dominant and commercial products use a combination of citrate and bicarbonate
• If citrate is used appropriate adjustments need t be made to ensure a near physiologic buffer concentration (25-35 mEq/L)
The data are clear!

For all circuits: HR for clotting 2.03 using frailty model
Conclusions
• Avoidance of fluid overload is important during RRT
• Higher net UF aimed at achieving near dry weight after the initial resuscitation phase is desirable
• Very high net UF rates may be a marker of illness severity and may be undesirable as well
• Much more work is needed in the field of volume control during RRT in ICU
• Fluid composition is moving toward citrate. If citrate CRRT is not applied bicarbonate is the standard
