We have greatly enjoyed reading the article by Yu et al. [
[1]
],which was a single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled trial (RCT) compared
the effects of Global end-diastolic volume index (GEDI) vs. central venous pressure
(CVP) goal-directed fluid resuscitation for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD) patients with septic shock. The authors conclude that GEDI goal-directed fluid
resuscitation shows better clinical effects compared to CVP for COPD patients with
septic shock.Abbreviations:
GEDI (Global end-diastolic volume index), CVP (central venous pressure), COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), RCTs (random, controlled trails)Keywords
