Abstract

Hypovolemia is frequent in critically ill patients. There is little doubt that when left unrecognized and thus untreated hypovolemia will worsen patient outcome [1]. Therefore, it is more than likely that adequate fluid resuscitation could improve the outcome of a huge number of critically ill patients worldwide. The administration of fluid is a simple and inexpensive procedure, so one of the barriers for optimal fluid therapy is likely to lie in the diagnosis of hypovolemia.
