Learning Objectives Review and Discuss: –Fluid Overload –Fluid Management –Concept of “De-Resuscitation”

“It is possible that in some cases CVVH/D may be a prevention, rather than a treatment, for worsening degrees of fluid overload.” “Early initiation of CVVH to allow for sufficient blood product and nutrition administration, while preventing fluid overload may improve patient survival…” Goldstein et al Pediatrics 2001

Challenges… Available literature: –Small sample size –Retrospective or Registry data Few data from INTERVENTIONAL trials: –Focused specifically on children! –Fluid management AFTER initial resuscitation –Focused on strategies for fluid management: Volume: “Conservative” vs. “Liberal” (standard) Type: Crystalloid or Colloid; Isotonic or Balanced

Next Steps… Body has not evolved a natural mechanism to remove excess ↑ Na+ and water “De-resuscitation” in MODS/AKI? –When can fluid be ideally removed? Triggers? –How much fluid should/must be removed? –What is the timeline for active elimination?
NGAL-Directed RRT Initiation Use of Neutrophil Gelatinase- Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) to Optimize Fluid Dosing, Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) Initiation and Discontinuation in Critically Ill Children With Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT Available at:
Summary (Excessive) fluid accumulation is bad Contribute to and/or worsen AKI/MODS Short/longer term injury to non-renal organs ↑ Risk morbidity/poor outcomes Need to better understand ideal strategies to (safely) mitigate and/or remove excess extravascular fluid
