Abstract
Background: Several litres of intravenous fluid (usually 50 to 75 mL/kg) are given in the first several
hours of therapy, defining a "liberal" fluids strategy to septic shock care. In septic shock, capillary
endothelial dysfunction causes fluid to leak out of the blood vessels, leading to hypovolemia and
decreased vasomotor tone. Aim: assess the efficacy of restrictive vs liberal intravenous fluid delivery in
patients with severe sepsis and septic shock. Patients and Methods: Patients hospitalised to the intensive
care unit (ICU) for more than 48 hours were the focus of this randomised control experiment, in which
data was gathered on 50 patients in a row before the intervention and 50 patients in a row after it. The
study was done in the Saudi German hospital in Cairo. Results: Length of time on organ support, time in
the intensive care unit, time in the hospital, and change in bicarbonate (in millimoles per litre), all differed
significantly between the two groups. In terms of demographics, there were no discernible differences
among the two groups, associated comorbidities and Body mass index or Weight. Conclusion: Restrictive
Group has better outcome than Liberal Group regarding to comparison Between Restrictive Versus
Liberal Intravenous Fluid Administration in Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock.
