Distribution of intravenous crystalloid fluid in two hypothetic patients. Patient A: fluid intake 6000 ml, 15% of which goes into interstitial issue due to capillary leak and 60% was fluid output. Patient B: fluid intake 3000 ml, 55% of which goes into interstitial issue due to capillary leak and 20% was fluid output. Note: *25% is assumed according to one study (PMID: 34040918); # Fluid balance = fluid intake – fluid output
