urine specific gravity 1.010 - 1.030
normal range
Most accurate measure of fluid volume status. A 1 kg
Daily weights
(2.2 lb) gain = 1 liter (1000 mL) fluid retention.
Weigh at the same time daily, in same clothes, on
Standard conditions for
same calibrated scale; remove excess bedding and
daily weights
empty drainage.

includes: irrigation fluids.
Output (I&O monitoring) Urine, wound/tube drainage, vomitus, diarrhea, and
includes: excess perspiration.
Urine specific gravity: Greater than 1.025 indicates concentrated urine
concentrated (suggests dehydration).
Urine specific gravity: Less than 1.010 indicates dilute urine (suggests
dilute overhydration or renal issues).

cardiovascular signs of Increased heart rate, weak/thready pulse,
mild/moderate fluid peripheral vasoconstriction, possible orthostatic
deficit hypotension.
cardiovascular signs of Hypotension and significant orthostatic changes.
severe fluid deficit
Drop in BP or increase in HR when changing
Orthostatic hypotension
