Table 1.
1 | Assess volume status daily on clinical examination and non-invasive hemodynamic assessment by Doppler ultrasound or echocardiography |
2 | Individualize fluid balance targets in order to target children's optimal volume status if they present with volume depletion or avoid fluid overload in excess of 10%. Fluid overload can lead to worsening of the patient's respiratory status |
3 | Measure serum urea, creatinine, and electrolytes at admission and then 24−48 hourly |
4 | Monitor urine output |
5 | Review medications daily and withhold the ones that may increase the risk of AKI. In particular, refer to NINJA methodology and nephrotoxic list [28] |
COVID-19, novel coronavirus disease; AKI, acute kidney injury.
