The Role for Bio-Electrical Impedance Analysis in Critically Ill Patie

• 24/09/2014

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 article discusses the different parameters related to bio-electrical impedance analysis (BIA) and their use to monitor fluid status and to guide fluid management in critically ill patients. Introduction Bio-electrical...
