Fluid Overload.

Most critically ill patients experience external or internal fluid shifts and hemodynamic instability. In response to these changes, intravenous fluids are frequently administered. However, rapid losses of administered fluids from circulation and the indirect link between the short-lived plasma volume expansion and end points frequently result in transient responses to fluid therapy. Therefore, fluid overload is a common finding in intensive care units. The authors consider the evidence of harm associated with fluid overload and the physiologic processes that lead to fluid accumulation in critical illness. The authors then consider methods to prevent fluid accumulation and/or manage its resolution.
