The variables analyzed were age, sex, cause of the intubation, APACHE II at admission in ICU, vasoactive requirements, fluid balance, day of weaning, ICU length of stay, tracheotomy, rate of reintubation.
To obtain optimum distribution, proper consideration must be given to flow behaviour in the distributor, flow conditions upstream and downstream of the distributor, and the distribution requirements (fluid or phase) of the equipment.
Postoperative variables included packed erythrocyte transfusion requirement, fluid balance and bleeding measured by chest tube drainage during the 24 hours after the operation.
By better predicting maintenance fluid requirements based on the previous day's physiologic variables, one might be able to prevent hypotensive episodes requiring fluid boluses during the course of the following day.

In order to meet the wide requirements of fluid image effects, our framework concerns the particles of different properties.
We also evaluated the requirements of fluid, inotropic agents, blood transfusion and the intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital length of stay between groups.
Moreover, our model is also characterised by capillary leakage and vascular failure, as attested by requirements for fluid loading and the observed increase in lung water.
The high-MAP group had higher requirements for fluid and, particularly, norepinephrine, whereas low-MAP animals presented with a higher incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI).
Demographic data were recorded, including the age of the patient on admission, diagnosis and pre-existing illnesses, the Paediatric Index of Mortality (PIM) score [ 13], ventilation settings, blood gases, requirements for fluid boluses, inotrope infusions, and outcome.
In this period they received fluids (0.9% saline and 5% glucose mixture 2 1 vv) in the volume following their specific requirements for fluids.
