Download or read book Rational Use of Intravenous Fluids in Critically Ill Patients written by Manu L. N. G. Malbrain and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023 with total page 613 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book, published by Springer under the Open Access CC BY 4.0 Licence in collaboration with the International Fluid Academy (IFA, www.fluidacademy.org), explores rationalized intravenous fluid therapy for critically ill patients. Despite being commonly prescribed in inpatient settings, intravenous fluids are often administered without evidence-based guidelines, neglecting essential considerations such as the fact they are drugs, that need proper dosing, duration, indications, contraindications, side effects, and de-escalation. This book fills this knowledge gap. Each chapter starts with a clinical vignette and a related question, followed by a concise summary abstract, key learning points, main text, and a conclusion that addresses the clinical question and provides relevant take-home messages. Additionally, every chapter includes an IFA commentary referencing the latest literature and evidence. The book begins with an introductory chapter that provides definitions and terminology, followed by four sections. The first section covers the fundamentals of intravenous fluid therapy, including fluid compartments in sick patients, fluid bolus dynamics, heart-lung interactions, fluid challenge, fluid responsiveness, arterial blood gas analysis based on traditional and Stewart concepts, and electrolyte physiology relevant to clinical issues. The second section discusses commercially available intravenous fluids, while the third section focuses on fluid therapy in specific clinical situations. The final section introduces the concepts of fluid stewardship and appropriate fluid prescription. Aligned with the International Fluid Academy's mission to enhance education and promote research on fluid management and monitoring, ultimately improving patient survival rates, this book contributes significantly to establishing fluid stewardship at the bedside. It provides valuable support for physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals across various clinical disciplines working in emergency rooms, operating rooms, or intensive care units, aiding their everyday clinical practice.

Book excerpt: Many adult hospital inpatients need intravenous (IV) fluid therapy to prevent or correct problems with their fluid and/or electrolyte status. This may be because they cannot meet their normal needs through oral or enteral routes (for example, they have swallowing problems or gastrointestinal dysfunction) or because they have unusual fluid and/or electrolyte deficits or demands caused by illness or injury (for example, high gastrointestinal or renal losses). Deciding on the optimal amount and composition of IV fluids to be administered and the best rate at which to give them can be a difficult task, and decisions must be based on careful assessment of the patient's individual needs. Despite the relative complexity of estimating a patient's IV fluid needs, assessment and prescription is often delegated to healthcare professionals who have received little or no specific training on the subject. Indeed, the task of prescribing IV fluids is often left to the most junior medical staff, who frequently lack the relevant experience. This problem was highlighted by a 1999 National Confidential Enquiry into Perioperative Deaths (NCEPOD) report, which found that a significant number of hospitalised patients were dying as a result of the infusion of too much or too little fluid. The report then recommended that fluid prescribing should be given the same status as drug prescribing. Unfortunately this has not yet occurred, and although inappropriate fluid therapy is rarely reported as being responsible for patient harm, it remains likely that as many as 1 in 5 patients on IV fluids and electrolytes suffer complications or morbidity due to their inappropriate administration. Errors in prescribing IV fluids and electrolytes are particularly likely in emergency departments, acute admission units, and general medical and surgical wards rather than in operating theatres and critical care units because patients in more general areas usually have less cardiovascular monitoring and the staff may have less experience of fluid prescribing. Indeed, surveys have shown that many staff who prescribe IV fluids in such areas know neither the likely fluid and electrolyte needs of individual patients, nor the specific composition of the many choices of IV fluids available to them. Standards of recording and monitoring IV fluid and electrolyte therapy may also be poor in these settings, and staff may fail to reassess and respond to patients' inevitable changes in IV fluid and electrolyte status over time. In addition to the problems above, there is also considerable debate among IV fluid and electrolyte experts about the best IV fluids to use, particularly for more seriously ill or injured patients. There is therefore wide variation in clinical practice. Many reasons underlie the ongoing debate, but most revolve around difficulties in interpretation of both trials evidence and clinical experience, including the following factors: 1. Many accepted practices of IV fluid prescribing were developed for historical reasons rather than through clinical trials. 2. Trials cannot easily be included in meta-analyses because they examine varied outcome measures in heterogeneous groups, comparing not only different types of fluid with different electrolyte content, but also different volumes and rates of administration and, in some cases, the additional use of inotropes or vasopressors. 3. Most trials have been undertaken in operating theatres and critical care units rather than admission units or general and elderly care settings. 4. Trials claiming to examine best early therapy for resuscitation have actually evaluated therapy choices made after initial resuscitation with patients already in critical care or operating theatres. 5. Many trials inferring best therapy for resuscitation after acute fluid loss have actually examined situations of hypovolaemia induced by anaesthesia. In the light of all the above, there is a clear need for guidance on IV fluid therapy for general areas of hospital practice, covering both the prescription and monitoring of IV fluid and electrolyte therapy, and the training and educational needs of all hospital staff involved in IV fluid management. The aim of this NICE guideline is therefore to help prescribers understand the: 1. physiological principles that underpin fluid prescribing 2. pathophysiological changes that affect fluid balance in disease states 3. indications for IV fluid therapy 4. reasons for the choice of the various fluids available and 5. principles of assessing fluid balance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The administration of intravenous fluids is one of the most common and important therapeutic practices in the treatment of surgical, medical and critically ill patients. The international literature accordingly contains a vast number of works on fluid management, yet there is still confusion as to the best options in the various situations encountered in clinical practice. The purpose of this volume is to help the decision-making process by comparing different solution properties describing their indications, mechanisms of action and side-effects according to physiologic body water distribution, electrolytic and acid-base balance, and to clarify which products available on the market represent the best choice in different circumstances. The book opens by discussing in detail the concepts central to a sound understanding of abnormalities in fluid and electrolyte homeostasis and the effect of intravenous fluid administration. In the second part of the monograph, these concepts are used to explain the advantages and disadvantages of solutions available on the market in different clinical settings. Body Fluid Management: From Physiology to Therapy will serve as an invaluable decision-making guide, including for those who are not experts in the subject.

Download or read book Global Gidelines for the Pevention of Surgical Site Infection written by World Health Organization and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-27 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surgical site infections are caused by bacteria that get in through incisions made during surgery. They threaten the lives of millions of patients each year and contribute to the spread of antibiotic resistance. In low- and middle-income countries, 11% of patients who undergo surgery are infected in the process. In Africa, up to 20% of women who have a caesarean section contract a wound infection, compromising their own health and their ability to care for their babies. But surgical site infections are not just a problem for poor countries. In the United States, they contribute to patients spending more than 400 000 extra days in hospital at a cost of an additional US $10 billion per year. No international evidence-based guidelines had previously been available before WHO launched its global guidelines on the prevention of surgical site infection on 3 November 2016, and there are inconsistencies in the interpretation of evidence and recommendations in existing national guidelines. These new WHO guidelines are valid for any country and suitable to local adaptations, and take account of the strength of available scientific evidence, the cost and resource implications, and patient values and preferences.
