FST-RRT: Furosemide Stress Test to Predict Successful Liberation From RRT
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The proposed study will evaluate if a standardised dose of furosemide administered in the 12 hours after RRT liberation can predict successful liberation in critically ill patients. The dose that will be administered is in accordance with the prescribing information.

Detailed Description
Response to furosemide administration is commonly used in clinical practice to assess a patient's potential for RRT liberation. However, this administration is not standardized and practices varies greatly. Rapid recognition of unsuccessful RRT liberation is crucial to avoid further complications such as fluid overload or acid-base and electrolyte disorders. The FST corresponds to the intravenous administration of 1 mg/kg (1.5 mg/kg in previously exposed patients) of furosemide and the assessment of resulting diuresis in the following two hours. FST is able to predict progression from AKI stage I and II to stage III with a high sensitivity (87.1%) and specificity (84.1%), area under the ROC curve 0.87. However, the ability of FST to predict RRT liberation has never been formally assessed.

---|---|
Critically ill patients undergoing RRT Patients admitted to participating ICU and receiving renal replacement therapy. |
Drug: Furosemide stress test
The FST corresponds to the intravenous single-dose administration of 1 mg/kg (1.5 mg/kg in previously exposed patients) of furosemide and the assessment of resulting diuresis in the following two hours. In the 12 hours following the first RRT liberation, a FST will be performed. The test will be considered positive if urinary output is ≥200 mL in the two hours following furosemide administration.
