s/l "I&T fluids" or "INT fluids" - mp

Posted: Jan 18, 2014

I have a dictator here who says they will "I&T her fluids" or maybe it's "INT her fluids." The closest thing I can find is intermittent needle therapy. Does that sound like what he means or is there something else?

in and out - fluid has to go somewhere - NM

i&t does NOT sound like in and out - lost marbles

And your example makes no sense at all... "in and out her fluids," how does that possibly make sense.

Please let us know what the answer is when you find out. Thanks.

We ended up abbreviating it - mp

Didn't want to risk an incorrect expansion, so we abbreviated it. Confirmed the abbreviation "INT" in the same usage in some other reports done by inhouse MT. Still a mystery as to what this would be. Intermittent or indwelling needle therapy is my best guess; I don't think he was trying to say I&O.

I & O=INTAKE ANDOUTPUT (OF FLUID) - DH

l &O =slang= intake and output
what is it
The record of fluid intake and output is called a fluid balance record

intake.
Intake is any measurable fluid that goes into the patient's body.
Intake includes fluids (such as water, soup, and fruit juice) and "solids" composed
primarily of liquids (such as ice cream and gelatin) that are taken by mouth (orally),
fluids that are introduced by IV, and fluids that are introduced by irrigation (through a
tube).

output
The major forms of output recorded on the worksheet are urine,
drainage, vomitus (matter vomited), and stools (fecal discharge from the bowels

I don't think it was I&O - op

It was INT; he didn't say I&O. To those suggesting it was I&O, have you heard a dictator say INT and mean I&O? Is that an established, confirmed definition for INT or I&T?
