Open Access Abstract Introduction Esophageal Doppler was confirmed as a useful non-invasive tool for management of fluid replacement in elective surgery. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of early optimization of intravascular volume using esophageal Doppler on blood lactate levels and organ dysfunction development in comparison with standard hemodynamic management in multiple-trauma patients. Methods This was a randomized controlled trial. Multipletrauma patients with blood loss of more than 2 000 ml admitted to the intensive care unit ICU were randomly assigned to the protocol group with esophageal Doppler monitoring and to the control group. Fluid resuscitation in the Doppler group was guided for the first 12 hours of ICU stay according to the protocol based on data obtained by esophageal Doppler whereas control patients were managed conventionally. Blood lactate levels and organ dysfunction during ICU stay were evaluated. Results Eighty patients were randomly assigned to Doppler
