A positive fluid balance is an independent prognostic factor in patients with sepsis.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Recent evidence suggests a link between excess lipid peroxidation and specific organ failures in sepsis. No study has been performed in sepsis by multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria. METHODS:Lethal sepsis was induced in rats by the intraperitoneal injection of one MDR isolate of Pseudomonas a...
