Question

A urinary output of 80 mL/hour indicates that fluid replacement is adequate as it suggests that the kidneys are perfusing adequately and able to eliminate waste products. Urine output is a key indicator of renal perfusion and function in burn patients, and a urinary output of at least 0.5-1 mL/kg/hour is desirable in a patient with major burns. A stable weight and an intake equal to urinary output may be helpful in determining fluid balance, but they may not necessarily indicate adequate fluid replacement. A blood pressure of 90/58 mm Hg may indicate hypotension, which could be due to a variety of factors including hypovolemia or shock.
