Summary

This study looks at whether daily weight changes or fluid intake/output records are more reliable for managing fluids in ICU patients. Researchers will observe 55 adults in intensive care, comparing their 24-hour fluid balance to actual weight changes. The goal is to improve how doctors make decisions about fluid treatment.
