Activity Summary
Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes
Too much or too little fluid in resuscitation efforts can lead to a plethora of adverse events. Asking a series of four questions concerning drug, dose, duration, and de-escalation (the four Ds) facilitates optimal fluid therapy. The four phases in fluid resuscitation are resuscitation, optimization, stabilization and de-resuscitation (ROSE). Each phase has evidence-based rationale for specific hemodynamic targets and interventions. This intermediate-level session presents a Goldilocks strategy using dynamic parameters to achieve a patient’s optimal Starling curve.Objectives
- Apply current research addressing outcomes related to optimizing fluids and fluid balance.
- Describe the four conceptual phases in the process of fluid resuscitation (ROSE).
- Develop a strategy in using SV and SVV to determine the patient’s individual optimal Starling curve location.
