First seen Apr 10, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study looks at whether the daily fluid balance record matches actual weight changes in intensive care patients. Researchers will track 55 adults in the ICU to see if these two measurements agree. The goal is to find out if relying only on fluid balance could mislead doctors. This is an observational study, meaning no new treatments are tested.
