In an attempt to address physician reluctance to implement the 30cc/kg recommendations for our severe sepsis patients with significant comorbidities, namely patients with significant heart failure (EF<15%), significant cirrhosis and/or ESRD, we plan to develop a fluid resuscitation protocol. Has anyone already developed such a protocol that you would be willing to share? Thanks, Ruth
