Footnotes
1. Central line should only be placed and used for venous access. During the 6h ProCESS intervention, CVP
and ScvO2 measurements are discouraged. If time-sensitive fluid targets can be achieved with smaller IVs
(e.g., one 18g and one 20g), that is acceptable.
2. Only isotonic fluid should be used (e.g., saline, lactated Ringer’s). Colloids are neither encouraged nor
excluded.
3. Fluid replete/overload is defined here as a clinical diagnosis by the treating ProCESS Investigator. Signs and
symptoms of overload include, but are not limited to, jugular venous distention, rales, and decreased pulse
oximetry readings. Discontinue all IVF (boluses, background rate) once this occurs, until no longer deemed
fluid replete/overload.
4. If patient’s SBP is within 10% of known baseline SBP, AND patient is not deemed to be clinically
hypoperfused, the SBP>100 mmHg target can be deemed fulfilled. Arterial lines allowed if deemed necessary,
but not mandatory. Shock index = heart rate / systolic blood pressure.
5. Hypoperfusion is defined here as a clinical diagnosis by the treating ProCESS Investigator. Signs and
symptoms include, but are not limited to, MAP < 65 despite SBP > 100, arterial lactate > 4, mottled skin,
oliguria, and altered sensorium.
6. Transfuse PRBCs for Hgb < 7.5 g/dL.
7. From time of prompt by protocol (i.e., not from time of physician order, or from when IV bag hung).
