Modeling Fluid Resuscitation by Formulating Infusion Rate and Urine Output in Severe Thermal Burn Adult Patients: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Table 1
Variables, definitions, and related equations for the proposed model.
| Variable | Definition | Equation |
| Basic infusion rate | The empirical infusion rate that was estimated by time of postburn and total body surface area burned. | (3) |
| Overall ratio | Total urine output divided by all fluid infused by the end of time . | (4) |
| Instant ratio | Ratio of urine output rate and infusion rate at time . | (5) |
| Predicted urine output | The predicted hourly urine output at the beginning of time . | (6) |
| Adjusted rate | The predicted infusion rate according to mean value of lower and upper limit of the expected target urine output. | (8) |
| Fluid rate | The suggested infusion rate. | (9) |
