Evaluation of hydration state or water homeostasis is an important component in the
assessment and treatment of critically ill patients in the emergency department (ED). The …

Background: Fluid balance disorders are a relevant risk factor for morbidity and mortality in
critically ill patients. Volume assessment in the intensive care unit (ICU) is thus of great …

Background & aims The state of hyperhydration in critically ill patients with acute kidney
injury (AKI) is associated with increased mortality. Bioelectrical impedance vector analysis …

The impact of a positive fluid balance on morbidity and mortality has been well established.
However, little is known about how to monitor fluid status and fluid overload. This narrative …

Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a promising tool to evaluate the body composition
of critically-ill patients. The present study aimed to assess its value as a fluid management …

Purpose of the study The aim of this study was to investigate the association of fluid
overload, measured by bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) and also by …

Fluid management is a crucial issue in intensive-care medicine. This study evaluated the
feasibility and reproducibility of bioimpedance spectroscopy to measure body-water …

Early detection and management of fluid overload are critically important in acute illness, as
the impact of therapeutic intervention can result in decreased or increased mortality rates …

Assessing and interpreting fluid and electrolyte balance is fundamental to caring for any type
of patient. Yet this subject is one of the more challenging to grasp and apply to clinical …

Acute heart failure (AHF) still represents one of the major reasons for hospitalization. AHF
patients present with an increase in total body water (TBW) content, which is related to the …
