Deep dives

Fluid strategies in acute pancreatitis

A recent study examined the management of fluid strategies in acute pancreatitis. Historically, aggressive fluid resuscitation was the recommended approach, but the evidence base is shifting towards more streamlined care. The study, known as the waterfall study, compared aggressive fluid resuscitation with more conservative strategies. The results showed that aggressive fluid resuscitation led to a higher incidence of fluid overload without improving clinical outcomes.
