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
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 (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

Presentation Title
Med Infusions and Fluids (All)
This is our default
flowsheet for the addition
of all medication infusions
and fluids
Accessed by clicking
“Medications & Fluids (All)”
in Navigation Bar
Default “Fluids IN” include:
• 0.9% NS (1000 mL)
• Ringers Lactate (1000 mL)
• 2/3-1/3 (1000 mL)
Default “Fluids OUT”
include:

• Blood (Cumulative)
