Why the study?
Does continuous infusion of intravenous furosemide improve mortality, length of hospital stay, and diuretic efficacy compared to intermittent bolus injection in patients with acute decompensated heart failure?
Does continuous infusion of intravenous furosemide improve mortality, length of hospital stay, and diuretic efficacy compared to intermittent bolus injection in patients with acute decompensated heart failure?
Continuous infusion of furosemide in acute decompensated heart failure provides superior diuretic effect and BNP reduction compared to bolus administration, but does not improve mortality or length of hospital stay.

Supports continuous furosemide infusion for greater diuretic effect in ADHF; extends conflicting RCTs by confirming surrogate benefits without mortality or safety differences.
