Resuscitation Outcomes
| Resuscitation Outcome | No Focused Cardiac Ultrasound (n = 732) | Fluid Tolerant (n = 177) | Poor Fluid Tolerance (n = 115) | Differencea (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fluids administered at 3 hr, mean mL (sd) | 1,780 (1,310) | 2,271 (1,222) | 1,646 (1,289) | 625 (330 to 919) |
| Met 30 mL/kg fluid target at 3 hr, n (%) | 251 (34.3) | 92 (52.0) | 36 (31.3) | 20.7% (9.4% to 31.9%) |
| Mechanical ventilation on day 1, n (%) | 228 (31.1) | 58 (32.8) | 42 (36.5) | –3.7% (–14.9% to 7.4%) |
| 28-d ventilator-free days, mean (sd) | 19.4 (11.5) | 18.9 (11.9) | 18.1 (12.1) | 0.8 (–1.9 to 3.7) |
| Vasopressors on day 1, n (%) | 423 (57.8) | 118 (66.7) | 88 (76.5) | –9.8% (–20.3% to 0.1%) |
| 28-d vasopressor-free days, mean (sd) | 20.0 (10.8) | 19.4 (11.4) | 18.2 (11.7) | 1.2 (–1.6 to 3.8) |
| Deceased at 28 d, n (%) | 151 (20.6) | 44 (24.9) | 32 (27.8) | –3.0% (–13.3% to 7.4%) |
