Chloride, pH, and Fluid Choices: Should Labs Guide Resuscitation Strategy?
Manage episode 472814734 series 2774944
In this episode of the Saving Lives Podcast, we discuss a study from Intensive Care Medicine that explores whether baseline serum chloride and pH affect outcomes with balanced fluids versus saline. The findings from the PLUS trial show no significant interaction, but intriguing trends suggest that hyperchloremic patients may benefit more from balanced fluids.
