Effect of bladder volume on measured intravesical pressure: a prospective cohort study.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Intravenous fluid administration is an essential component of sepsis management, but a positive fluid balance has been associated with worse prognosis. We analyzed whether a positive fluid balance and its persistence over time was an independent prognostic factor in septic patients. METHODS:We prospective...
