A member asked:
Wanted to know if chf patients in general receive fluids while in the icu?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but not much: Most CHF patient are treated with diuretics, to remove fluid from circulation. In some instances, depending on the cause of CHF, we might give a modest amount of fluid to keep the heart filled properly so it can pump.
