Fluid and Catheter Treatment Trial

Study status: Completed
Study dates: Jun 2000 — Oct 2005

The FACTT study was a prospective, randomized, multi-center trial evaluating the use of a pulmonary artery catheter versus a less invasive alternative, the central venous catheter, for the management of patients with acute lung injury (ALI) or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It was combined with a second study contrasting a conservative and a liberal fluid management strategy in patients with ALI or ARDS.
