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.

VariableDefinitionEquation

Basic infusion rateThe empirical infusion rate that was estimated by time of postburn and total body surface area burned.(3)

Overall ratioTotal urine output divided by all fluid infused by the end of time .(4)

Instant ratioRatio of urine output rate and infusion rate at time .(5)

Predicted urine outputThe predicted hourly urine output at the beginning of time .(6)

Adjusted rateThe predicted infusion rate according to mean value of lower and upper limit of the expected target urine output.(8)

Fluid rateThe suggested infusion rate.(9)
