Popis: | To design and evaluate a simple and rapid method to predict body hydration status in critically ill patients. Prospective, consecutive sample. Medical intensive care unit of a university hospital. 31 consecutive patients. All patients were classified daily for hydration status by the attending physician based on clinical impression, weight changes and laboratory measurements. The hydration status was scored as ‘dehydrated’, ‘euvolemic’ or ‘edematous’. The total body impedance was measured daily by a tetrapolar impedance technique. Resistances >700Ω were found in dehydrated subjects and resistances of |
