I and O how often?

[rkealy, BSN]

Looking to see how different ICU do a standard I and O is it hourly on all Critical Care patients? obviously those are require invasive hemodynamic monitoring will be hourly I'm talking about the old lady on the vent who's in with pneumonia who's just on Versed and Fentanyl. I have heard every 4 hours, q 12 q 2?

[Nalon1 RN/EMT-P, BSN, RN]

Some of it depends or the order set and acuity, but the standard in the ICU where I work is Q4 unless otherwise stated in the orders (or it was 2 years ago, not sure if it has changed).

At my hospital it is I&O and vitals q1. Other hospitals I've visited do both (vitals included) q2hr.

[CowboyMedic, DNP, APRN, CRNA]

We do Q1HR I&O, and normally Q15 vitals. The longer the pt is in ICU and the more stable they are then we go to Q1 vitals.

q2 vitals

Output every q2 hours

Input at end of shift unless otherwise indicated
