Need help calculating pediatric urine output, any tips?

Hey Sam, great question! For infants and toddlers, you can measure urine output by weighing their diapers before and after a wetting. For every gram of weight gained, that's equivalent to 1ml of urine. For older children, you can have them use a hat-shaped pediatric urinal and measure the volume directly. #pediatricresearch #medicalinformation
Just a heads up, when calculating urine output, make sure to account for any fluid intake or output through other means such as IV fluids or vomiting. This will give you a more accurate picture of their hydration status. #pediatrics #childhealthcare #infantcare
Also, don't forget to document the time of each urine output measurement. This will help you track any changes in urine output over time and identify any potential issues early on. #pediatricresearch #medicalinformation
