Question
Can you administer 4 medications/IV infusions in the central line at the same time? Or tubing of the central line has only 3 portals? Will it cause fluid overload especially if the patient is an old woman with comorbidities like HTN, Type 2 DM, Hyperlipidemia and is admitted to the hospital due to sepsis or septic shock?
The formula for fluid overload is
% Fluid overload=((total fluid in−total fluid out)/admission body weight×100)
How would you know the total fluid out? Is it through laboratory results? How many ml of fluids can the patient tolerate?
