Intake and output measurement is important in healthcare to monitor a patient's fluid balance. It helps healthcare providers assess hydration status, kidney function, and overall health. Monitoring intake and output can also detect early signs of fluid imbalances or underlying health issues.
How correct a measurement is?
oliguria
diuretics
Normal output is approx 1.5litres
15 ml/hr
Excessive thirst and reduced urinary output.
40 ml per hour
there are many purposes of catheterization and these are: 1- to relieve acute or chronic urinary retention 2- to drain urine preoperative and postoperative 3- to determine thew amount of residual urine after voiding 4- to determine the accurate measurement or urinary drainage in critically ill patients 5- to monitor the input and output for electrolyte status of client hope you are content with my answer....
Ofcourse the correct measurement I would have to say is mass,hope that helps you!!
your output should be relatively close to what you intake. A normal person will have anywhere from 400cc's to 900cc's
Both output and outputs is correct, although in American English the word output is used.
