Fluid balance neutralization secured by hemodynamic monitoring versus protocolized standard of care in patients with acute circulatory failure requiring continuous renal replacement therapy: results of the GO NEUTRAL randomized controlled trial

Intensive Care MedPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

In patients with vasopressors, a UFNET fluid removal strategy secured by a hemodynamic protocol allowed active fluid balance control, compared to the standard of care.
