Fluid Replacement in the Critically Ill Patient: Impact of Current Recommendations in the Real World. This PeerVoice independent medical education activity has been endorsed by the International Fluid Academy.
A growing list of publications indicate that the assessment of lymphocyte subset counts may provide prognostic information for COVID-19 disease severity and convalescence when considered in conjunction with other clinical information.
Fluid administration and management are one of the fundamental practices of intensive care. The principles of good fluid practice are built upon the foundations of a firm understanding of the underlying pathophysiological process. COVID-19 is a novel illness and presents unique challenges not just to clinical practice but the entire healthcare system.

Cardiac Cycle Efficiency (CCE) is a unique hemodynamic variable exclusive to MostCare Up. CCE provides a global assessment of total cardiovascular performance, measured in terms of energy expenditure.
Advantage Hemodynamic parameters like cardiac output and its determinants can be useful for optimising individual goal-directed therapy. Read this blog by our Golden Sponsor
We designed an international electronic survey to better understand current practice and alignment with international guidelines in critically ill COVID-19 patients. Little is known about the cardiovascular consequences of COVID-19 and the hemodynamic management of patients requiring ICU admission.
We designed an international electronic survey to better understand current practice and alignment with international guidelines in critically ill COVID-19 patients. Fluid administration and management are one of the fundamental practices of intensive care, however few colleagues consider fluids as drugs.
We designed an international electronic survey to better understand current practice and alignment with international guidelines in critically ill COVID-19 patients. The impact of the present COVID-19 crisis on all levels of society is devastating. Therefore we would like to know the following: Tell us how you managed ICU patients. Tell us what you feel. Tell us what you think. Tell us what you have done

Monitoring of the respiratory function and adapting the ventilatory settings during anaesthesia and critical care are of great importance. This article will focus on how to deal with the respiratory derangements in critically ill patients with abdominal hypertension.
Talk given by Victoria McCredie, University of Toronto. Secondary brain injury is a frequent event in TBI patients. These events greatly influence prognosis and are potentially preventable. Our understanding of secondary brain injury mechanisms and physiologic responses to treatment is evolving.
Over the last decades we have used aggressive fluid resuscitation as a cornerstone in the treatment of shock, however, with only little evidence to support this. Early venconstriction may avoid fluid overload.
