Summary:Avoiding excess fluid administration is necessary when managing critically ill surgical patients. The aim of this study was to delineate the current practices of IVelectrolyte (IVE) replacement in a surgical ICU and quantify their contribution to the fluid balance (FB) status. Patients admitted to the surgical ICU over a six-month period were reviewed. Patients undergoing dialysis and those with ICU stay
