Abstract
With over 30 million cases and 6 million fatalities annually, sepsis is a huge problem in public health. Joined by the World Health Organization, the World Health Assembly passed a to enhance, prevent, detect, and manage sepsis on May 26, 2017, making it a global health priority.
Sepsis was once defined as severe organ failure due to an uncontrolled immunological response to infection. Organ dysfunction is indicated by an increase of 2 points or more on the Sequential (septic-related) Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA). If a patient had sepsis and also had lactate > 2 mmol/l (even after adequate volume resuscitation), as well as extended hypotension (requiring vasopressors to keep MAP > 65 mmHg), then they were regarded to be in septic shock. The rapid sepsis-related organ failure assessment (qSOFA) is a new screening tool that the task force proposed. When a patient’s qSOFA score is 2 or above, it is associated with an increased risk of adverse events, including a longer duration in the intensive care unit and mortality.
In the field of critical care, one of the most common interventions is the administration of fluids, which is essential for patients with hemodynamic instability. As a result, the surviving sepsis guideline now suggests aggressive fluid resuscitation till the patient’s hemodynamic stabilization. On the flip side, it’s well knowledge that those in severe illness have a positive fluid balance are independently more likely to die. Fluids used for maintenance and replacement as well as those employed as a diluent for medication infusions and boluses (fluid creep) might cause inadvertent loading of salt and chloride. In severely sick patients, these sources also make for over half of the daily fluid volume provided.
Whether maintenance solutions should be hypotonic or isotonic is a topic of much discussion. Hyponatremia and neurologic problems are risks associated with hypotonic solutions, according to data in youngsters. Nevertheless, research on healthy people has shown that isotonic solutions (0.9% NaCl) lead to a better fluid balance than hypotonic solutions (5% Dextrose). A recent pilot investigation in healthy volunteers corroborated this finding, demonstrating that, compared to hypotonic solutions, isotonic solutions resulted in reduced urine production, with lower aldosterone concentrations suggesting (unintentional) volume expansion. Hyponatremia and hypokalemia were not linked with hypotonic fluids, even though they contained less sodium and potassium.
