Bioimpedance as a measure of fluids in patients with septic shock. A prospective observational study.

In patients with septic shock bioelectrical impedance analysis had no systematic errors or bias, but wide limits of agreement, indicating that the devices have a large and uncorrectable random error. Fluid status by bioelectrical impedance analysis is not sufficiently accurate to guide treatment in this group of patients. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
