Haemodynamic improvement : does fluid balance matter ?

Unfortunately the hydric and electrolytic status of the patients is not reported. One must agree that both macro and micro haemodynamic status are likely to be influenced by this balance. If patients were at Na = 130 mmol/L, exchanging this plasma water with a solution at Na = 140 mmol/L is to be considered as an important fluid loading !
