Hello, Quick question for the group. Are people using actual or ideal body weight when measuring the 20 ml/kg fluid bolus metric?
My thought is that using actual body weight would be a good idea, because the recommendation is for that volume to be a minimum volume. Patients with higher-than-ideal body weights would end up getting more than that volume if actual was used, which would be a good thing. And it is obviously more simple for the providers. Other thoughts? thank you, Joe Joseph Clement RN, MS, CCNS Clinical Nurse Specialist San Francisco General Hospital phone: (415) 206-6174 pager: (415) 327-0220 [email protected]
