Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Agreement between 24hour fluid balance and daily weight change
The primary objective of the study is to assess the agreement between changes in body weight and cumulative 24-hour fluid balance over identical time intervals in ICU patients.
24 hours from enrollment
Study Arms (1)
ICU patients
Adult patients admitted to a intensive care unit without any extracorporeal life organ support excluding artificial lung ventilation.
Interventions
In all enrolled patients, both 24-hour body weight change and cumulative 24-hour net fluid balance will be assessed over identical 24-hour intervals by nursing personnel. Fluid balance will be recorded using a standardized 24-hour fluid balance chart and calculated as the difference between total fluid intake and urine output and fluid output to drains. Body weight measurement will be performed once daily. Body weight will be measured using the integrated weighing system of the ICU bed.
Eligibility Criteria
Adult patients admitted to intensive care unit in Masaryk Hospital in Ústí nad Labem Czech Republic.
You may qualify if:
- \- adult (age ≥ 18 years) patients admitted to intensive care unit.
You may not qualify if:
- age \<18 years
- pregnancy
- inability to obtain standardized daily body weight using the ICU bed scale
- incomplete 24-hour fluid balance data preventing calculation of cumulative balance
- absence of an indwelling urinary catheter, extracorporeal life support (ECMO) or other extracorporeal circulation
- open abdomen
- open chest
- lavage or irrigation procedures during the assessment interval
- surgery during the assessment
- massive bleeding
- diarrhoea during the assessment period
- massive transfusion protocol during the 24-hour interval and ICU stay shorter than 24 hours.
