During the 2 week audit period a total of 20 patients were included. We grouped patients with RACHS 1&2 scores (n=11), RACHS 3&4 scores (n=9) and RACHS 5&6 scores (n=0). Four patients required peritoneal dialysis; all survived to discharge. Daily fluid balance and cumulative balance (in ml/kg) is shown (table 1). In the RACHS 3&4 group, there was both a higher fluid balance on ‘day 2’ and in cumulative balance.
