Acta Anaesthesiol ScandPublished Protocol for a randomised clinical trial

Study context

Population
Adults admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) with septic shock, randomised within 12 h of admission1,850 planned
Planned comparison
Protocolized restrictive non-resuscitation fluids vs usual care
Primary endpoint
All-cause mortality
Follow-up
Up to 90 days
Methodological detailsprotocolized, Sample size: to detect an absolute mortality reduction of 7.5%, alpha 5%, power 90%, Secondary outcomes: ICU complications (any AKI or cerebral, coronary, intestinal or limb ischaemia) up to 90 days, ventilator-free days within 90 days, cognitive function (MOCA-BLIND) and HRQoL (EQ-VAS) in survivors at 6 months; climate impact of the interventions
