What is the phase that acknowledges the need to remove excess fluid if necessary when transitioning a stabilized shock patient from aggressive fluid resuscitation to fluid management?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Evacuation (or de-resuscitation) phase
After resuscitation and stabilization, the evacuation or de-resuscitation phase involves removing excess fluid (eg, via diuretics, fluid restriction) to avoid fluid overload complications.
