A nurse-led diuretic titration protocol using a point-of-care urinary sodium sensor is feasible, safe, and increases natriuresis in patients with acute decompensated heart failure.
Abstract
A nurse-led diuretic titration protocol via a point-of-care urinary sodium sensor was feasible, safe and resulted in an increased natriuresis in ADHF compared to SOC.
