Summary

This study looked at whether giving less fluid (other than the fluids needed to treat shock) to ICU patients with septic shock could reduce dangerous fluid buildup. 50 patients were split into two groups: one got standard care, the other got a strict fluid-minimizing plan. The goal was to see if the strict plan led to a better fluid balance by day 5.
