研究概览
简要总结
Early morning weights to monitor CHF patient's fluid status is common practice but there is a lack of evidence that this is the best practice. The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference in net weight gain or loss for hospitalized patients with CHF who are weighed in the evening instead of early morning.
详细描述
This is a quasi-experimental pilot study with prospective cohort design. Study subjects will be weighed in the early morning and then again in the evening for a minimum of three days. Analysis will be accomplished on data by analysis within-subjects data utilizing the paired t test. Other data to be collected includes dates of hospitalization, demographics, dose and timing of medications, lab results and documentation of comorbid conditions.
