Accurately calculate pediatric urine output (UO) in mL/kg/hr for infants and children. This essential tool helps assess fluid balance, kidney function, and hydration status quickly and reliably for patient care decisions.
Formula:
The Pediatric Urine Output (UO) is calculated using the following formula:
UO (mL/kg/hr) = Total Urine Volume (mL) / Body Weight (kg) / Time (hours)
Where:
- Total Urine Volume: The total volume of urine collected (in milliliters).
- Body Weight: The child's current body weight (in kilograms).
- Time: The duration over which the urine was collected (in hours).
