Summary

This study looks at whether giving intensive care patients IV fluids with less salt can help them get off life support sooner. About 640 adults expected to stay in the ICU for several days will be randomly assigned to receive either standard salt-containing fluids or lower-salt alternatives. The main goal is to see if the lower-salt approach increases the number of days patients are alive and free from a breathing machine or dialysis during the first 90 days.
