Fluid Management in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.

ABSTRACT: One of the defining features of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is noncardiogenic pulmonary edema, resulting from increased permeability of the alveolar-capillary barrier and passage of protein-rich fluid into the interstitium and alveolar spaces. The loss of protein from the intravascular space disrupts the normal oncotic pressure differential and causes patients with ARDS to be particularly sensitive to the hydrostatic forces that correlate with intravascular volume. Conservative fluid management, in which diuretics are administered and intravenous fluid administration is minimized, may decrease hydrostatic pressure and increase serum oncotic pressure, potentially limiting the development of pulmonary edema. However, the cause of death in most patients with ARDS is multiorgan system failure, not hypoxemia, and the impact of conservative fluid management on the incidence of extrapulmonary organ failure during ARDS is unclear. These physiologic observations have led to a series of studies examining the impact of fluid management on the development of, resolution of, survival from, and long-term outcomes from ARDS. While questions remain, the current literature makes it clear that fluid management is an integral part of the care of patients with ARDS.

Project description:In the Fluid and Catheter Treatment Trial (FACTT) of the National Institutes of Health Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network, a conservative fluid protocol (FACTT Conservative) resulted in a lower cumulative fluid balance and better outcomes than a liberal fluid protocol (FACTT Liberal). Subsequent Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network studies used a simplified conservative fluid protocol (FACTT Lite). The objective of this study was to compare the performance of FACTT Lite, FACTT Conservative, and FACTT Liberal protocols.Retrospective comparison of FACTT Lite, FACTT Conservative, and FACTT Liberal. Primary outcome was cumulative fluid balance over 7 days. Secondary outcomes were 60-day adjusted mortality and ventilator-free days through day 28. Safety outcomes were prevalence of acute kidney injury and new shock.ICUs of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network participating hospitals.Five hundred three subjects managed with FACTT Conservative, 497 subjects managed with FACTT Liberal, and 1,124 subjects managed with FACTT Lite.Fluid management by protocol.Cumulative fluid balance was 1,918 ± 323 mL in FACTT Lite, -136 ± 491 mL in FACTT Conservative, and 6,992 ± 502 mL in FACTT Liberal (p < 0.001). Mortality was not different between groups (24% in FACTT Lite, 25% in FACTT Conservative and Liberal, p = 0.84). Ventilator-free days in FACTT Lite (14.9 ± 0.3) were equivalent to FACTT Conservative (14.6 ± 0.5) (p = 0.61) and greater than in FACTT Liberal (12.1 ± 0.5, p < 0.001 vs Lite). Acute kidney injury prevalence was 58% in FACTT Lite and 57% in FACTT Conservative (p = 0.72). Prevalence of new shock in FACTT Lite (9%) was lower than in FACTT Conservative (13%) (p = 0.007 vs Lite) and similar to FACTT Liberal (11%) (p = 0.18 vs Lite).FACTT Lite had a greater cumulative fluid balance than FACTT Conservative but had equivalent clinical and safety outcomes. FACTT Lite is an alternative to FACTT Conservative for fluid management in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.
