Summary

In critically ill patients with liver disease like cirrhosis or ACLF, fluid therapy needs to be instituted after identification of patients who will be fluid responsive and initiate appropriate inotropes early to prevent the mortality associated with fluid overload.

The parameters and methodology used for assessing fluid responsiveness have been studied earlier, but the optimum method is not established. Existing recommendations based on data regarding fluid responsiveness and choice of fluid for resuscitation from intensive care units in general cannot be applied to those with liver disease as the hemodynamic alterations that occur with liver disease, presence of hypoalbuminemia at baseline and presence of cardiac dysfunction interfere with the conventional methods of fluid status assessment, fluid responsiveness as well as the response to different types of resuscitation fluids.

Therefore the investigators attempt to compare various methods to estimate current intravascular volume status of patient which could be helpful in guiding fluid therapy.
