Likewise, the treatment of SIADH on the basis of fluid restriction is not indicated, because of increased risk of hypovolemia-associated cerebral infarction [ 146, 147].
The decision to initiate therapy is made on the basis of fluid balance, electrolytes, the degree of accumulation of urea and creatinine and, importantly, on the likely benefit to the patient.
Fluid administration was adjusted on the basis of fluid balance, calculated at 6-hour intervals, by subtracting urinary volume from total oral and intravenous intake.
The fluid loading protocol guided by changes in filling pressures was used to prevent deleterious fluid overloading rather than to guide treatment on the basis of fluid responsiveness, as recently advocated to ensure safety [ 23, 26, 27].
Most of the extrathoracic cases of Aspergillus were in patients with proven IA, on the basis of analysis of fluids obtained from sterile body sites or biopsies.
The diagnosis of intraamniotic inflammation was made in patients with a negative amniotic fluid culture on the basis of amniotic fluid concentrations of interleukin-6 (>2.6 ng/mL, derived from receiver operating characteristic curve analysis).
The sampled collecting ducts are selected on the basis of production of some fluid applying a vacuum.
Since the original method demands high quality fluid sampling and analysis, we suggest a modification, which can be used also on the basis of standard fluid analysis.
Saffer and Tobin ([2011]) suggested that high pore-pressure zones tend to be distributed in the temperature range of approximately 60 to 150°C, on the basis of the fluid production rate of smectite dehydration.
Leptomeningeal involvement was diagnosed on the basis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytology and three diagnostic criteria were applied.
