Fig. 1

Fluid requirement over the course of 48 h of the critical phase. Figure shows the fluid requirement in the patients who received fluid (a) equal or less than M + 5% deficit, (b) M+ 5–7.5% deficit and (c) more than M + 7.5% deficit. Fluid requirement at 0–12 h was compared to each time point in the 3 graphs and analysed by 1-way ANOVA, *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001, *****p < 0.0001, ns-not significant
