THE FREQUENCY OF HYPOVOLEMIA IN THE PATIENTS OF INTENSIVE CARE UNITS AND ITS INFLUENCE ON THE MORTALITY

Abstract

We retrospectively analyzed. 890 medical histories of patients age from 1 days to 90 years. 225 of them were children and 665 were adult. AH of patients were admitted, to ICU of different hospitals in Irkutsk region. Hypovolemia was diagnosed in 75 % (496/665) of adult patients and in 81 % (183/225) of children. We found that the mortality of the adult patients depends on not only degree of hypovolemia but also on its duration.
