Transcript
Early and accurate detection of fluid overload are critically important in acute illness, as the impact of therapeutic intervention can result in decrease or increase mortality rates. The bioelectrical impedance vector analysis is an alternative i

In this study, we demonstrate how to evaluate the presence of fluid overload through bioelectrical impedance vectorial analysis (BIVA) and the impedance ratio measured using tetrapolar multi-frequency equipment in patients admitted to the emergency department. BIVA and impedance ratio are reliable and useful tools to predict poor outcomes.
