Hospital Nursing Records - Fluid Balance
This term appears on a nursing form titled Balance Hídrico wherein all the patient's fluids are measured ... all the stuff that goes into and out of the patient.
Under the column titled "Ingresos" we have several categories:
Solucion // Coloco // Paso // Oral // Total Ingreso
Under the "coloco" category there is a column of numbers "500" or "200" repeated, to match the "solucion" that was administered. Under "solucion", what I can read says SF. or "solucion fisiologica". "dextrosa", "cl K"
How can I translate this word "coloco"?
The form is from a hospital in Argentina

Hi Joseph,
Have you got ingreso as intake?
Not 100% sure, but I'm under the impression that 'coloco' may refer to the quantity (bag size?) of the solution placed, and "paso" to the drip rate established?
I'd love to have time to research this for you, but I'm afraid I'm really pushed myself atm. I hope someone else can pick up on it.
Good luck,
Álvaro :O)

: Sounds OK to me, but "ingreso" as "intake" sounds a bit odd, as it usually means "admission" in Europe...

Thanks Neil. You're right, it does mean admission -and that might make sense here- but I'm inclined to think "total ingreso" is about the aggregate amount of saline or other substances the patient has taken in. :O)

: This would be quantity (size of IV bag) and paso is the rate (how fast it's given)

Thank you Michelle. I never actually had to translate this myself, but you sound very confident about it. :O)
