Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: UNa+ Driven Intensive Therapy
Ask patient to empty bladder. Start treatment (step 1). Re-evaluate patient every 6 hours; if therapeutic goal is not met, treat according to the following step. Therapeutic goal: Spot Urinary Sodium > 70 mEq/L AND mean diuresis > 1,5 ml/kg/h Step 1 Furosemide i.v. continuous infusion (2 times oral daily dose; minimum dose: 240 mg die) Step 2 Double furosemide i.v. continuous infusion (maximal dose: 720 mg die) Step 3 Add oral metolazone 5 mg b.i.d. Step 4 Add oral acetazolamide 250 mg b.i.d. |
Intensive stepwise diuretic treatment based on combined diuresis and urinary sodium assessment
|
Active Comparator: Standard Therapy
Ask patient to empty bladder. Start treatment (step 1). Re-evaluate patient every 12 hours; if therapeutic goal is not met, treat according to the following step. Therapeutic goal: mean diuresis > 1,5 ml/kg/h Step 1 Furosemide i.v. continuous infusion (2 times oral daily dose; minimum dose: 240 mg die) Step 2 Double furosemide i.v. continuous infusion (maximal dose: 720 mg die) Step 3 Add oral metolazone 5 mg b.i.d. Step 4 Add oral acetazolamide 250 mg b.i.d. |
