Normal urine output - 0.5 to 1.5 cc/kg/hour - A patient should be urinating at least every 6 hours. Oliguria - Decreased urine output < 300cc/m2/24 hours - < 0.5 cc/kg/hour in children - < 1.0 cc/kg/hour in infants - Usually < 500 cc/day in adults Anuria - No or minimal urine output - Usually < 100 mL/day in adults #urine #output #oliguria #anuria #laboratory #shock #classification

Recommendations for Collection of Specimens for Culture from Diabetic Foot Wounds; Culture specimens should be obtained after the wound has been cleansed and debrided. A sample obtained by curettage, the aseptic scraping of tissue at an ulcer base using a scalpel blade or dermal curette, more accurately identifies pathogens than a wound swab. #swab #curettage #bonebiopsy #woundsample #woundculture #culture #diabeticfoot #diabetes #footwound #clinical #aspiration #tissuebiopsy #specimens

Approach to treating a diabetic patient with a foot infection. Consider hospitalization if any of the following criteria are present: systemic toxicity (e.g., fever and leukocytosis); metabolic instability (e.g., severe hypoglycemia or acidosis); rapidly progressive or deep tissue infection, substantial necrosis or gangrene, or presence of critical ischemia; requirement of urgent diagnostic or therapeutic interventions; and inability to care for self or inadequate home support. #diabetic #diabeticfootinfection #diabeticfootulcer #footwound #algorithm #assessment
