Summary:[...]more than 33% of critically ill patients now remain in the ED for more than 6 hours [1]. [...]the recognition of the importance of high quality, uninterrupted chest compressions has altered the priorities of management during cardiac arrest, particularly in the first 4 to 8 minutes of resuscitation. [...]the adjusted odds ratio for both 1-month neurologically favorable outcome and 1-month survival were less than 1.\n Patients included in the study were those who required intravenous fluid resuscitation for acute hypovolemia, as defined by a SBP <90 mm Hg or a mean arterial pressure <60 mm Hg, orthostatic hypotension, signs of tissue hypoperfusion or hypoxia, or evidence of low filling pressures and low cardiac index.
