Data are reported as n (%) or median (IQR).
IQR = interquartile range; LR = lactated Ringer’s; NS = 0.9% normal saline.
Fluid compliance was defined as receipt of ≥75% of study fluid as LR in LR group and ≥90% of study fluid as NS in NS group.
Isotonic fluids included LR, NS, D5 LR, or D5 NS with additional electrolytes permitted as per clinical team.
Elements that were determined a priori as feasibility metrics.
