The estimated insensible loss of fluid over 24 hours period for an adult is 800 mls. This is water loss we are not aware of like when we breath moisture is exhaled from our lungs.

Water loss due to evaporation of fluid that has penetrated through the skin is termed?
Insensible
What is Water loss due to evaporation of fluid that has penetrated through the skin termed?
Insensible
What is the difference between insensible and sensible fluid loss?
sensible fluid losses ar those the person is aware of such as through wound drainage, GI tract losses and urination. Insensible fluid losses may occur without the person's awareness. Insensible losses occur daily through the skin and lungs.
Insensible fluid loss?
Insensible fluid loss , is not readily seen or felt fluid, excreted from the body. Insensible fluid loss consists of 1)vaporization from lungs ( exhaled watervapor) and 2) passive diffusion through skin ( also called perspiratio insensibilis = insensible perspiration ). All values below are for adult humans: Vaporization from lungs : average amount 300 ml. , will increase with hard physical work and in dry hot climate. Insensible perspiration : average amount 350 ml. . Other ways of fluid excretion, that are not insensible fluid loss : Urinary production ( of urine ) can be seen : average amount daily 1000 - 1500 ml - will increase if you are overhydrated - and decrease if you are dehydrated. Active sweating from sweat glands can be seen : average amount daily 150 ml. , will increase in case of physical hard work or high temperatures. Fluid lost to the fecal matter in the intestines : average amount daily : 150 ml. , but will increase in case of Diarrhea.
Does the insensible fluid loss must be recorded in fluid balance chart in icu?
Firstly, please review your nearest textbook concerned with sentence structure and grammar. Secondly, kindly review the definition of insensible. Last but not least, answer your own question.
How do you calculate insensible loss in renal patients?
diarrhoea
Distinguish between sensible and insensible water loss?
Noticeable and un-noticeable
What accounts for the most water loss second only to urine output?
Insensible perspiration (losses from skin and lungs)
What is insensible heat loss?
Also Latent Heat Loss. The heat that is lost through the continuous, unnoticed water loss that occurs with vaporization accounting for 10% of basal heat production. Evaporation accounts for the greatest heat loss when body head increases.. Does not result in temperature increase of surrounding air.
Does loss of interstitial fluid leads to dehydration and causes loss of skin elasticity?
Yes it does. Loss of interstitial fluid is the same thing as dehydration. And that loss of fluid makes the skin less elastic, when you pinch it, it does not spring back as quickly.
What is the difference between hyponatremia and dehydration?
Dehydration is inadequate water in the body. It occurs when fluid losses from vomitting, diarrhea, urinating or "insensible losses" (through the breath and skin) exceed fluid intake. Hyponatremia means low sodium concentration in the blood. It can imply too little sodium in the body but more often is from an imbalance in the amount of sodium to water. This can be associated with dehydration if the sodium loss is greater than the water loss or from an increase in the total body water (often with increased total body sodium).
