Urine-R-Us revisited

Tom here:

Here is a simpler way to look at urine output since I have been home, on a daily basis from midnight to midnight.

Tuesday, 6th: 2780 cc Foley, 420 Pelvic drain.
Thursday, 7th: 2840 cc Foley, 0 Pelvic drain.

Today, I have all ready produced 1630 cc since midnight, and 0 for the pelvic drain. We flushed the drain last night with 10 cc saline, but still no output, other than the saline which drained back into the bag.

I think the catheter leak (which soaks a diaper in about two hours) would add 10% to 15% to the Foley totals, but that is only a guess.

Hopefully the scan this morning will tell the tale.

Tom
