Popis: Abstract Background Fluid administration is the first line treatment in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with sepsis and septic shock. While fluid boluses administration can be titrated by predicting preload dependency, the amount of other forms of fluids may be more complex to be evaluated. We conducted a retrospective analysis in a tertiary hospital, to assess the ratio between fluids given as boluses and total administered fluid intake during early phases of ICU stay, and to evaluate the impact of fluid strategy on ICU mortality. Data related to fluid administration during the first four days of ICU stay were exported from an electronic health records system (ICCA®, Philips Healthcare). Demographic data, severity score, norepinephrine dose at ICU admission, overall fluid balance and the percentage of different fluid components of the overall volume administered were included in a multivariable logistic regression model, evaluating the association with ICU survival. Results We analyzed 220 patients admitted with septic shock and sepsis-induced hypotension from 1st July 2021 to 31st December 2023. Fluid boluses and maintenance represented 49.3% ± 22.8 of the overall fluid intake, being balanced solution the most represented (40.4% ± 22.0). The fluid volume for drug infusion represented 34.0% ± 2.9 of the total fluid intake, while oral or via nasogastric tube fluid intake represented 18.0% ± 15.7 of the total fluid intake. Fluid volume given as boluses represented 8.6% of the total fluid intake over the four days, with a reduction from 25.1% ± 24.0 on Day 1 to 4.8% ± 8.7 on Day 4. A positive fluid balance [OR 1.167 (1.029–1.341); p = 0.021] was the most important factor associated with ICU mortality. Non-survivors (n = 66; 30%) received a higher amount of overall inputs than survivors only on Day 1 [2493 mL vs. 1855 mL; p = 0.022]. Conclusions This retrospective analysis of fluids given over the early phases of septic shock and sepsis-induced hypotension showed that the overall volume given by boluses ranges from about 25% on Day 1 to about 5% on Day 4 from ICU admission. Our data confirms that a positive fluid balance over the first 4 days of ICU is associated with mortality.
