Anesthesia Training Documenting Fluids IN and OUT Objectives
Anesthesia Training: Documenting Fluids IN and OUT
Objectives By the end of this module the participant will be able to: Add a new fluid from each fluid family to the Fluids Flowsheet Add an Additive to an IV Perform a bag level Document urine output (cumulative) Pause an infusion View Fluid totals and detail in the Fluid Balance Graph Date Presentation Title
Fluid Families “Colour Coded” Fluids IN: Blood products Drug Infusions • eg. Dopamine, Epinephrine IV Fluids: Anesthesia IV Fluids OUT: Urine Blood out Other Fluids • Eg. Chest tube drainage Date Presentation Title
Fluids in Anesthesia Manager: Behavior of Different Fluid Types Fluids IN: Continuous: Gravity infusions (eg. NS, LR, RBC’s) • fluid balance determined by bag level • To get any balance result you have to perform an action within the “fluid dialogue box” (validate, cancel, bag level…) Bolus: Amount directly added to the fluid balance Based on rate: Infusions at a specific rate (ml/hr). • These update the fluid balance in real time (eg. Epidural infusion) Drips: Dose and rate (depends on dilution) • Specific rate, updated in real time to the fluid balance (eg. Propofol or narcotic infusion) Fluids OUT: Cumulative: Partial/Total • indicated by a circled value in the flowsheet. This functionality is used for closed system fluid monitoring (e. g. urine bag) Date Presentation Title
Fluid Flowsheet Symbols • Colors correspond to fluid families • • Date Forward arrows indicate an active infusion Up arrows indicate an infusion on pause Forward arrow with horizontal line above=bag level documented Large arrow indicate validation Presentation Title
Fluid Flowsheet Symbols (cont. ) • Single numbers indicate • boluses or fluid out totals-eg. Dumped urine of 250 ml. • Infusion rates in ml/hr-eg. Propofol infusion @ 6 ml/hr • Initial volume of ”continuous fluids”-eg. 1000 ml NS • Circled numbers indicate cummulative fluid out totals • Red X indicates a discontinued order • Blue ”carrots” indicate start and stop times of orders Date Presentation Title
