Objective: To expand upon the priorities of fluid resuscitation and vasopressor therapy research priorities identified by a group of experts assigned by the Society of Critical Care Medicine and the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine.
Data sources: Original paper and literature search.
Study selection: Several members of the original task force with expertise specific to the area of fluid resuscitation and vasopressor therapy.
