SCCM Resource Library-The Creep!

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The presentation discusses fluid creep in ICU patients, defined as unintentional excess fluid administration beyond initial prescriptions. It covers factors contributing to fluid creep, including high-fluid requirements for specific patient populations, unaccounted field resuscitations, and inadequate de-escalation practices. Strategies to mitigate fluid creep include minimizing maintenance infusions, transitioning IV medications to oral alternatives, and considering fluid de-resuscitation after initial stabilization. The presentation emphasizes the importance of recognizing and managing fluid creep to optimize patient care and reduce the associated risks of excess fluid administration.
