Negative fluid balance?
Patients in the hospital often have their I and O (Intake and Output) monitored. If a person puts out more fluid than is taken in that person is said to have a negative fluid balance. If the person takes in more than he puts out then he is said to have a positive fluid balance.
Why do you use fluid balance charts?
A "fluid balance" chart is also known as an "I/O" chart for intake and output. An I/O is the record a nurse or nursing staff writes, giving the intake and output of fluids in ml/cc's. The I/O includes what is taken in through IVs, gastric lavages, catheter flushes, as well as orally or rectally (such as during an enema). "Return" after an enema, amounts from drainage or returns from flushes, and urinary output create the totals for "output".

What is the average urine input and output of a normal person daily?
It depends on the activity level and other factors. The "eight glasses of water a day" recommendation that everyone needs at least eight glasses of water a day is a myth. Fluid intake (including the moisture content of food) should equal the amount of liquid lost during the day, from perspiration, expiration and urination. During times of physical exertion or warm weather, people should take extra care in remaining hydrated. Elderly people sometimes have difficulty regulating their fluid consumption and should take additional care in making sure they remain hydrated during hot times, as they are also more frail and susceptible to heat stroke.
