Fluid administration is a key therapy in sepsis. Despite its long history, much uncertainty persists about how best to administer fluids. This session will cover the biggest questions on fluid administration in sepsis, including when and how to administer it and when to consider diuresis or dialysis. Speakers will review the most recent evidence and answer these questions. This session is of value to any clinician who treats sepsis and any clinical or translational researcher who works in sepsis.
