Fluid balance chart

A fluid balance chart is a tool used in healthcare to track the amount of fluid a person takes in (like drinks and IV fluids) and loses (through urination, sweating, or other ways). By recording these amounts, healthcare providers can monitor hydration levels and ensure the person is neither dehydrated nor overloaded with fluids. This helps in managing medical conditions, planning treatments, and preventing complications. Accurate charting provides a clear picture of daily fluid status and supports effective, personalized patient care.
