There are currently too many uncertainties and discrepancies regarding interpretation of
bioimpedance in critical illness, to justify therapeutic consequences. However, there are …

Management of fluid overload is one of the most challenging problems in the care of
critically ill patients with oliguric acute kidney injury. Various clinical practice guidelines …

Background and aims Assessment of the raw parameters derived from bioelectrical
impedance analysis (BIA) has gained emphasis in critically ill patients. The phase angle …

Background No global consensus exists on diagnostic criteria for malnutrition. Muscular
deficits and functional impairments are major components of available malnutrition …

Objectives To investigate whether phase angle (PhA) measured by bioelectrical impedance
analysis (BIA) and frailty are associated with the outcomes of critical illnesses. Design A …

Background & aims Patients with COVID-19 are at a high risk of malnutrition caused by
inflammatory syndrome and persistent hypermetabolism, which may affect clinical outcomes …

Background: Fluid overload is present in two-thirds of critically ill patients with acute kidney
injury and is associated with morbidity, mortality, and increased healthcare resource …

Phase angle, obtained by bioelectrical impedance, is an indicator of cellular integrity and
has been proposed as a prognostic parameter in patients who are critically ill. This …

Objective Bioelectrical impedance-derived phase angle (PA) has exhibited good prognostic
values in several non-critical illnesses. However, its predictive value for critically ill patients …

The Chinese Society of Critical Care Medicine (CSCCM) has developed clinical practice
