Protocolized Reduction of Non-resuscitation Fluids vs Usual Care in Septic Shock Feasibility Trial

"* Maintenance fluids are discontinued in participants with positive cumulative fluid balance who are not dehydrated~* Intravenous fluid and enteral water are given as needed to correct electrolyte disturbances~* Enteral nutrition with energy density of at least 2 kcal/ml is administered according to local practice~* Starting 72 hours after inclusion, glucose at a concentration of at least 20% and a maximal dose of 1g/kg/day may be used as nutrition if enteral feeding is not tolerated. Glucose at this dose or lower may be started earlier in patients with insulin dependent diabetes if enteral feeding is not tolerated and local protocol mandates this~* Parenteral nutrition is administered according to local protocol~* Intravenous medications are concentrated according to a predefined protocol~* Patients with neutral or negative cumulative fluid balance receive maintenance and other fluids such that total dose of fluids covers the daily need of water (about 1ml/kg/h)"

"Participants receive non-resuscitation fluids according to local routines, with the following stipulations:~* Maintenance fluids (crystalloids and/or glucose and/or enteral water) are given at a dose of 1 ml/kg/h unless local protocol states otherwise~* Glucose is used at maximal concentration of 10% unless local protocol states otherwise.~* Medications are concentrated according to local protocol"
