Summary

Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) is a frequent cause of organ dysfunction in critically ill patients. Secondary IAH is mainly caused by excessive fluid resuscitation.The World Society for the Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (WSACS) recommends using diuretics to remove excess fluids and decrease intra-abdominal pressure (IAP). However, critically ill patients may not tolerate negative fluid balance in the acute phase of their disease and the injured kidney may not respond to diuretics. The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of furosemide on fluid balance, IAP and kidney function in critically ill patients.

Conditions

  • Intra-Abdominal Hypertension

Interventions

DRUG

furosemide

Loading dose: 0,5mg/kg Start continuous infusion at a dose of 0,1mg/kg/h and titrate according to diuretic response. Target value for diuresis = (amount of fluids administered at inclusion/kg/h) + 0.5mL/kg/h If safety check is satisfactory: increase target diuresis with 1mL/kg/h per 4h to a maximum of (amount of fluids administered at inclusion/kg/h) + 2.5mL/kg/h Maximal dose of furosemide: 0.3mg/kg/h Safety check every 4h. Furosemide is administered for 24h. If safety checks are satisfactory, additional periods of 24 can be added up to a maximum of 72h.
