QUIZ #2 – CD

Fluid resuscitation in shock: what to assess before the next dose

Correct answer: B

Explanation:
Persistent shock does not automatically mean that more fluid will increase cardiac output. The 2025 ESICM circulatory shock guideline recommends assessing fluid responsiveness before continuing fluid resuscitation and favors dynamic variables over static preload markers when applicable.
