The Effect of Negatively Fluid Balancing Speed for ICU Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Previous studies have shown that a positive fluid balance was an independent factor of worse prognosis in ICU patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and negative fluid balance has been demonstrated to increase oxygenation index, reduce time under mechanical ventilation and ICU length of stay with no noticeable adverse effects. But there is no evidence that faster speed of negative fluid balance would be more beneficial for ARDS patients. So researchers designed the study to prove the effect of negatively fluid balancing speed for ICU patients with ARDS.
