Perioperative urine output is a vital sign which can have a very significant impact on outcomes. This discussion emphasises the importance of monitoring it and using the data accordingly.

This shows no difference in creatinine values and patients are not reporting that they feel uncomfortable or thirsty as a result.

Presented by Professor Monty Mythen and Dr Joff Lacey featuring guests Dr Tim Miller from Duke University Medical Centre and John A. Kellum, Tenured Professor, Critical Care Medicine from The University of Pittsburgh.
