Daily Weight and fluid balance change
In all enrolled patients, both 24-hour body weight change and cumulative 24-hour net fluid balance will be assessed over identical 24-hour intervals by nursing personnel. Fluid balance will be recorded using a standardized 24-hour fluid balance chart and calculated as the difference between total fluid intake and urine output and fluid output to drains. Body weight measurement will be performed once daily. Body weight will be measured using the integrated weighing system of the ICU bed.
