Effect of Fluid Resuscitation Strategies for Obese Patients with Sepsis and Septic Shock: A Systematic Review

Abstract Purpose As the Surviving Sepsis Campaign (2021) recommended, patients with sepsis should be given a liquid infusion of 30 ml/kg (ideal body weight). However, the strategy may result in insufficient resuscitation for obese patients with sepsis. Therefore, we conducted a systematic evaluation...

description Abstract Purpose As the Surviving Sepsis Campaign (2021) recommended, patients with sepsis should be given a liquid infusion of 30 ml/kg (ideal body weight). However, the strategy may result in insufficient resuscitation for obese patients with sepsis. Therefore, we conducted a systematic evaluation of the effectiveness of the initial resuscitation strategy in obese sepsis patients. Materials and methods A computer search of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, and other databases collected cohort studies from the beginning of the survey to December 2021 to include articles evaluating initial resuscitation strategies for sepsis-obese patients. Results Of the six studies included, five used ideal body weight infusion strategies, and three used actual body weight infusion strategies. Differences in fluid volume were observed between the two strategies, but no significant difference was observed in the mortality of obese sepsis patients. In addition, there may be an infusion strategy other than the above two infusion methods, and the safety and efficacy of the new infusion strategy are unclear. The obesity paradox has been observed in most infusion strategies. Conclusion The association between obesity and infusion strategy has rarely been investigated in patients with sepsis and septic shock, and the existing results are conflicting. The risk of bias in all included studies was moderate or high. Before providing broad recommendations on the optimal first resuscitation approach to lower the chance of mortality, further clinical trials, and prospective research need to be done.
