Summary

This study tests whether giving ICU patients lower-salt intravenous fluids can reduce the number of days they need life support like ventilators or dialysis. About 640 critically ill adults will be randomly assigned to receive either standard saline or lower-salt fluids. The main goal is to see if the lower-salt approach helps patients survive and recover more quickly.
