Fluid balance versus weighing: A comparison in ICU patients: A single center observational study.

This study shows a weak correlation between weight and fluid balance. Therefore, when monitoring the volume status in the ICU, fluid balance and weight should both be taken into account. This two-pronged approach is crucial because it provides more control over erroneous fluid balance or weighing measurements.
