Do hypooncotic fluids for shock increase the risk of late-onset acute respiratory distress syndrome?

OBJECTIVE: In patients with shock, late-onset acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) carries poor prognosis. Hypooncotic fluids may improve kidney function preservation, whereas hyperoncotic fluids may in theory decrease the risk of late-onset ARDS. Our objective was to determine whether predominant or exclusive use of crystalloids and/or hypooncotic colloids for shock resuscitation influenced the risk of late-onset ARDS. PARTICIPANT AND SETTINGS: International prospective cohort of consecutive adults who were free of ARDS on admission and who received fluid resuscitation for shock in 115 intensive care units (ICUs) during a 4-week period. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: Severity scores, hemodynamic status, indication for fluids, risk factors for ARDS, plasma expander use, transfusions, and late-onset ARDS were recorded prospectively. Logistic regression models were tested to determine whether predominant or exclusive use of hypooncotic fluids was associated with higher incidence of late-onset ARDS. Of 905 patients, 81 [8.9% ; 95% confidence interval (CI) 7.2-11.0] developed ARDS, with no difference between patients given only hypooncotic fluids (10.4% ; 95% CI 7.6-13.7) and the other patients (7.7% ; 95% CI 5.5-10.5 ; p = 0.16). Late-onset ARDS was significantly associated with sepsis [odds ratio (OR) 1.90 ; 95% CI 1.06-3.40], worse chest X-ray score at fluid initiation (1.55 ; 95% CI 1.27-1.91), positive fluid balance (1.06 per l ; 95% CI 1.02-1.09), and greater transfusion volume (1.14 per l ; 95% CI 1.01-1.29). The proportion of hypooncotic fluids in the plasma expander regimen was not associated with late-onset ARDS (1.01 per % ; 95% CI 0.99-1.01). CONCLUSIONS: Based on this observational study, there is no evidence that in patients with shock the use of hypooncotic fluids increases the risk of late-onset ARDS. This finding needs to be confirmed.
