No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Fluid resuscitation of severe sepsis may consist of natural or artificial colloids or crystalloids. There is no evidence-based support for one type of fluid over another.

The investigators hypothesis is that fluid resuscitation with Voluven® is advantageous to normal saline solution to improve sublingual microcirculation.
