ASV and Targeted Fluid Resuscitation in Severe Burns

This prospective cohort study will evaluate the use of Adaptive Support Ventilation (ASV) together with targeted fluid resuscitation in adult patients with severe burn injuries requiring mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit. Patients with extensive burns often develop respiratory failure and require both invasive mechanical ventilation and large-volume fluid resuscitation during the first days after injury. The study will assess whether the combination of ASV and targeted fluid resuscitation is associated with improved oxygenation, respiratory mechanics, fluid balance, and early clinical outcomes during the first 72 hours of intensive care. Clinical data, ventilatory parameters, laboratory results, hemodynamic variables, and fluid resuscitation characteristics will be collected as part of routine clinical care. The findings may help optimize early intensive care management for patients with severe burn injuries and improve future treatment strategies.

Crystalloid Fluid Choice and Neurological Outcome in Patients After Subarachnoid Haemorrhage

Patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage are prone to suffer from dysnatriemia. Evidence shows that hyponatriemia is associated with increased incidence of vasospasm, brain swelling and mortality in these patients. Patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage often require large amounts of iv fluids in order to maintain euvolemia and support cardiocirculatory function. Prior evidence shows that the type of infusion fluid significantly influences blood sodium content. Hence, this study evaluated whether the sodium content of the infusion solution impacts mortality and morbidity in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage.
