A Standardized Approach to Reduce Fluid Overload in Critically Ill Children

In this quality improvement project, we develop, implement, and maintain compliance with a fluid management strategy. Future work will involve daily utilization of the fluid balance dashboard and monitoring compliance with total IV fluid orders. Implementing a quality improvement-based fluid management strategy may lead to improved awareness of the fluid status of patients and the prescription of fluid therapy to mitigate the harmful effects of fluid overload.
