Effects of IV Chloride Content on Outcomes

June 20, 2017 updated by: Baxter Healthcare Corporation

A Comparison of High and Low Chloride Containing IV Fluid Solutions in Patients Undergoing Major Surgery and/or ICU Admission

This observational study evaluates the impact of high and low chloride containing IV fluids on administrative and clinical outcomes. The study uses a large electronic health dataset and examines patients receiving fluid replacement and resuscitation. The hypothesis is that high chloride solutions are associated with adverse outcomes as measured by administrative data and by clinical parameters.
