Fluid infusion is a crucial practice in resuscitating critically ill patients, but its effectiveness in improving tissue perfusion is often overlooked. S. Magder illustrates how Arthur Guyton’s analysis of circulation, which focuses on the interaction between venous return and heart pump function, offers a better understanding of fluid management. By monitoring right atrial pressure (RAP) and cardiac output trends, clinicians can make informed decisions, ensuring fluid therapy is effective, timely, and physiologically grounded.

Y. Kotani et al. explore the evolving role of renin in the resuscitation of critically ill patients. Traditionally overlooked in favor of its connection to hypertension, renin's importance in hypotensive conditions is now gaining attention. With recent evidence suggesting renin's superiority to lactate in mortality prediction, and its potential to guide personalized vasopressor therapy, this review highlights the need for prospective research and the development of rapid, reliable assays to fully integrate renin into clinical practice.
