A survey of paediatric critical care physicians.
As you know, fluid management in critical illness remains controversial. While fluid resuscitation is a cornerstone of the management of hypovolaemic shock, it is less clear what fluid management strategy should be pursued in the post-resuscitation phase when fluid accumulation is common.
Our clinical research collaboration aims to investigate whether active fluid removal (de-escalation) impacts clinical outcomes in critically ill children.
We would be grateful to medical members for 10-15 minutes of your time to complete this online PSG endorsed survey. Its purpose is to understand the perspectives of intensivists regarding fluid management in critically ill children.
Your views will help to inform the design of future trials.
The survey has been endorsed by ANZICS-PSG, PCCS-SG, ESPNIC, PALISI and PACCMAN, and will be distributed internationally. It is administered anonymously, however if you would like to be part of this collaboration and/or receive a copy of the survey results, please leave us your email address at the end.
