Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Dear Authors,

thank you for presenting a very interesting and comprehensive review on fluid management in critcally ill pattients. The paper is well organized and the shows authors' expertise in the field. I have only minor remarks:

1. Not all abbreviations are clarified (e.g. ARDS, ICU)

2. Some short clinical vignette showing the practical use of presented knowledge would increase the value of the manuscript

Reviewer 2 Report

t of patients The article described for clinicians the difficult management of ARDS patients. Even though we did not find new strategies, the article presented well the main principles of treatment. With enough new articles from recent years, the article needs only minor revision. The authors must add the legend with the abbreviations appearing in the text for doctors with other specialties than intensive care.

Maybe an algorithm could help practicians better.
