Brief summary

This study will assist in providing knowledge about the amount of salt being administered to patients admitted to the intensive care unit, who require support from a breathing machine. This information, along with the patients’ daily salt balance will provide the basis for further studies looking at interventions aimed at reducing the amount of salt administered during a patients stay in Intensive care and any influence salt balance may play in clinically important patient outcomes

Interventions

Daily Sodium balance for 48 hours after inclusion: It Involves daily estimation of administered sodium from all the sources including fluids, feeds and infusions (from the bed side charts) and estimated daily sodium balance by measuring 24 hour urine sodium. Duration : 18 months
