NCT ID NCT04947904

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether carefully limiting fluids given for non-emergency reasons (like nutrition or drug dilution) could reduce fluid overload in intensive care patients with septic shock. 50 patients were randomly assigned to either the standard approach or a restrictive fluid strategy. The goal was to see if this approach could improve fluid balance by day 5.
