The Effect pf Goal-directed De-escalation in ARDS on Organ Function and Mortality

Patients received de-escalation fluid management using either diuretics or ultrafiltration during continuous RRT in the case of GEDVI \> 650 mL/m2 or EVLWI \> 10 mL/kg depending on the randomization group. The primary goal of de-escalation was to obtain a cumulative fluid balance after 48 hrs from the study baseline of 0 to -3000 mL. In the case of GEDVI \< 650 mL/m2 or EVLWI \< 10 mL/kg, the target fluid balance was in the range of 0 to +3000 mL
