Effect of a Restrictive Fluid Therapy Strategy Without Routine Maintenance Fluids on Acid-Base Balance and Renal Function in Critically Ill Patients
Öz
Background: This study aimed to compare the effects of conventional maintenance fluid administration and a restrictive fluid management strategy without routine maintenance fluids on acid–base balance and renal function in critically ill patients.
Materials and Methods: In this single-center, retrospective observational study, adult ICU patients hospitalized during two consecutive clinical periods were analyzed. During the first period, routine maintenance fluids were administered, whereas during the second period, fluid therapy was individualized without routine maintenance fluids based on daily clinical and laboratory assessment. Demographic data, administered intravenous fluid volume, electrolytes, blood gas parameters, serum urea and creatinine levels, and non-lactate strong ion difference (SIDnl) were recorded at ICU admission (day 0) and day 5. Acute kidney injury (AKI) was assessed according to KDIGO criteria.
Results: The restrictive fluid period was associated with significantly lower total intravenous fluid administration, lower AKI incidence, and lower maximum AKI stage. Serum urea and creatinine levels were similar between groups at baseline and day 5.Although baseline SIDnl values were lower in the restrictivegroup, they normalized during follow-up, and day 5 SIDnl valueswere comparable between groups. Mortality was numerically lowerin the restrictive group but did not reach statistical significance.
Conclusions: Omission of routine maintenance fluids andimplementation of an individualized restrictive fluid strategy wereassociated with reduced fluid exposure, lower AKI incidence, andlower AKI severity in critically ill patients. These findings suggestthat minimizing unnecessary fluid administration may contributeto renal protection in the ICU.
