FLUID THERAPY METHOD

摘要

A fluid therapy method for an ADHF patient includes setting a urine output rate desired threshold, setting one or more desired negative net gain rates, and optionally setting a total fluid loss goal. The urine output of the patient is monitored and fluid is automatically administered to the patient at increasing rates to equal to or approximately match the patient's increasing urine output rates until the patient's urine output rate reaches the set urine output rate desired threshold. Thereafter, fluid is administered to the patient at rates to achieve the set desired negative net gain rate until the fluid loss goal is reached. Thereafter, until the end of therapy, fluid is administered to the patient at rates equal to or approximately equal to the monitored urine output rates.

1. A fluid therapy method comprising:
setting a urine output rate desired threshold; setting one or more desired negative net gain rates; monitoring the urine output of a patient; automatically administering a fluid to the patient at increasing rates to equal to or approximately match the patient's increasing urine output rates until urine output rate reaches the set urine output rate desired threshold; automatically thereafter administering the fluid to the patient at rates to achieve the set desired negative net gain rate.
