Urine output is an important clinical measurement and oliguria may highlight the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) earlier than serum creatinine (sCr). Despite the importance of urine output monitoring, there are no definitive guidelines or recommendations for best practice. A survey was sent to healthcare professionals with a specialist interest in AKI to gather opinions of what constitutes a good standard of urine output monitoring and by corollary missed care, post- major surgery. Data was gathered from 221 respondents. Results will inform audit and improvement projects in post-operative nursing care.
