Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Fluid Balance
Fluid balance is defined as all intravenous fluids administered over a 72 hour period (or ICU discharge, whichever occurred first), minus all fluid output. Urine output was measured in the ICU in 12 hour increments.

Study Arms (2)
Treatment Starling SV monitor
EXPERIMENTALA dynamic assessment of fluid responsiveness using the Starling SV monitor will be performed at every clinical decision point for the first 72 hours of study enrollment. Examples of a clinical decision point include a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of \< 65, the decision to give additional fluid volume, and the decision to either escalate or wean vasopressors. Fluid responsiveness will be assessed using a passive leg raise (PLR) to guide corresponding treatment.
Control
NO INTERVENTIONNo required therapeutic protocol will be used for patient treatment, and is determined per the discretion of the physician and hospital standards.
Interventions
A dynamic assessment of fluid responsiveness will be performed at every clinical decision point for the first 72 hours of study enrollment. Fluid responsiveness will be assessed using a passive leg raise (PLR) and Starling SV hemodynamic monitor to guide corresponding treatment.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Diagnosis of sepsis, as exhibited by 2 or more of the following systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) criteria and a known or presumed infection at time of screening:
- Temperature of \> 38 C or \< 36 C
- Heart rate of \> 90/min
- Respiratory rate of \> 20/min or PaCO2 \< 32 mm Hg (4.3 kPA)
- White blood cell count \> 12000/mm3 or \< 4000/mm3 or \>10% immature bands
- Refractory hypotension despite initial fluid resuscitation (1L of treatment fluid)
- Patient enrolled in study as soon as possible (ideal window of 0-12 hours) and within 24 hours of arrival to the hospital
- Anticipated ICU admission
- Able to provide signed informed consent or consent can be obtained from the patient's authorized representative
You may not qualify if:
- Primary diagnosis of: acute cerebral vascular event, acute coronary syndrome, acute pulmonary edema, status asthmaticus, major cardiac arrhythmia, drug overdose, or injury from burn or trauma
- Known aortic insufficiency, or aortic abnormalities
- Hemodynamic instability due to active gastrointestinal hemorrhage
- Patient has received \>3 liters of IV fluid prior to study randomization
- Requires immediate surgery
- Patient transferred to the ICU from another hospital unit
- Do not attempt resuscitation (DNAR or DNR) order
- Advanced directives restricting implementation of the resuscitation protocol
- Contraindication to blood transfusion
- Attending clinician deems aggressive resuscitation unsuitable
- Transferred from another in-hospital setting
- Not able to commence treatment protocol within 1 hour after randomization
- Known intraventricular heart defect, such as ventral septal defect or atrial septal defect
- Use of additional hemodynamic monitoring involving stroke volume variation (SVV) to determine fluid responsiveness
- Seizure in the last 24 hours
- +12 more criteria
