Substantial evidence currently exists demonstrating that volumetric overload (VO) complicates fluid therapy (FT) of shock inducing VO shocks (VOS) [1] that cause the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) [2,3]. These most serious morbidities and mortalities affect hundreds of thousand cases every year all over the world but remained overlooked, unrecognized, and underestimated. Cerebral and neurological manifestations of both VOS and ARDS are the commonest and most prevalent among the clinical features of the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) that represent ARDS (Table 1), presenting mainly with deep coma of the highest grade.
