Overview
Brief Summary
Rationale
The worldwide practice of fluid and vasopressor therapy in critically ill invasively ventilated patients is uncertain. Indeed, it is unclear whether there is a difference in fluid and vasopressor therapy in these patients between Low– and Middle–income Countries (LMICs) and High–income Countries (HICs).
Objective
To determine various aspects of fluid and vasopressor therapy in critically ill invasively ventilated patients in LMICs and HICs.
Hypothesis
There is substantial worldwide variation in practice of fluid and vasopressor therapy in critically ill invasively ventilated patients
Study design
International, multicenter, observational study in critically ill invasively ventilated patients; data are captured during a predefined period per geographic region or country.
Study population
Critically ill invasively ventilated patients.
Main study parameter/endpoint
The primary outcome is a composite of various aspects of fluid therapy, including total volumes of types of fluids administered in the first three days after start of invasive ventilation and total volume of fluids infused in the first seven days after start of invasive ventilation. Secondary outcomes include timing of start, type, and duration of continuous administration of vasopressors; timing of start, infusion time and types of administered diuretics; daily urine output and cumulative fluid balances; and typical ICU outcomes, like duration of ventilation, lengths of stay in ICU and hospital, and mortality in the ICU and hospital, and at day–28, –60 and –90.
Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness
Because of the observational design of the study using routinely collected data, there is no additional burden for the patient. Collection of data from ICU charts or electronic medical records systems is of no risk to the patients.
