Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Protocolized spot urine sodium guided diuretic therapy
Patients will have a spot urine sodium and urine creatinine obtained.
The urine and creatinine results will be input into the diuretic calculator and the diuretic dose will be chosen based on daily goals for urine output and net negative fluid balance.
Performed 3 times per day, diuretic dosing will be individualized based on the proportion of 24-hour diuresis achieved since the prior IV diuretic dose.
Every 24 hours new goals for urine output and net negative fluid balance are established based on the study and treatment team's assessment of residual congestion until protocol completion.
|
The urine sodium, urine creatinine and serum creatinine results will be input into the diuretic calculator and the diuretic dose will be chosen based on daily goals for urine output and net negative fluid balance.
|
No Intervention: Guideline-based care
Patients will be placed on guideline-based diuretic dosing consistent with usual practice.
The initial dose will be two times their home dose and will be subsequently adjusted by the treating team based on renal function and symptom severity.
The treating team can increase or decrease the frequency and dose of diuretic based on urine output and clinical assessment.
Patients in this arm also have urine collected 3 times per day by the bedside nurse to mirror the intervention arm.
