At the first clinical signs of cardiovascular overload (headache, dyspnoea, jugular vein congestion), or increased blood pressure, raised central venous pressure and pulmonary oedema, the infusion must be stopped immediately and the patient's haemodynamic parameters carefully monitored, Additionally, diuresis or cardiac output must be increased in accordance to the severity of the clinical situation.
