Comments on GEDI vs. CVP goal-directed fluid resuscitation for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with septic shock: A randomized controlled trial

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.
