Fluid Therapy in Critical Care: Innovations, Controversies, and Future Directions

November 07, 2025 | 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM

Location: Room 320A, Convention Center

Session Description

Fluid therapy in critically ill patients is evolving rapidly, with emerging evidence reshaping the debate on fluid composition, timing, and volume assessment. This session dives into the latest research, technological advances, and practical strategies for fluid resuscitation, maintenance, and de-resuscitation. This session explores the nuanced interplay of fluid management with acid-base balance, inflammation, and kidney outcomes, highlighting challenges and controversies in the intensive care unit.

Learning Objective(s)

  • Evaluate the role of fluid composition (balanced vs. unbalanced) in acid-base homeostasis and long-term patient outcomes
  • Explain how novel biomarkers and advanced monitoring tools can be integrated to optimize fluid resuscitation and de-resuscitation strategies
  • Describe the implications of fluid overload for systemic inflammation, organ recovery, and the timing of kidney replacement therapy
  • Identify emerging therapeutic approaches and future directions in fluid therapy, including artificial intelligence-guided decision support systems

Learning Pathway(s)

  • Fluid‚ Electrolyte‚ and Acid-Base Disorders
  • AKI and Critical Care
