[Let's Connect](https://fizemedical.com/demo/) ## Fluid Management: The Most Intricate Challenge in Critical Care Physicians face multiple challenges in managing fluids in critically ill patients: Fragmented information from different sources, urine-output data essential for guiding patients toward optimal fluid balance is not available in real time, and the manually recorded UO data is prone to inaccuracies[1] and is not streamlined in the EMR.

Beyond the clinical impact, fluid mismanagement represents a significant economic burden, amounting to billions of dollars annually in the US alone.\* #### 300,000[2] Patients die of AKI per year in the US alone #### $10 billion[4] Estimated annual cost of hospital-acquired AKI to US healthcare system #### 40%[3] Of ICU patients develop sepsis after AKI diagnosis #### 10x[5] Higher mortality rate for inpatient with AKI \*Data presented are based on published literature and represent general clinical context.

By integrating continuous kidney intelligence with real-time therapeutic guidance, Optima will enable data-backed stabilization and effective decongestion management—targeting a measurable reduction in both clinical complications and the multi-billion dollar burden of ICU length of stay. ## Expert Insights ![Dr. Jacques Braun, Director of the Pediatric ICU at Shaare Zedek Medical Center](https://fizemedical.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/ChatGPT-Image-Jul-15-2026-11_03_17-AM-1024x1024.png) Dr. Jacques Braun Director of the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Shaare Zedek Medical Center “Our experience with the FIZE urine output monitoring system has been very encouraging. It delivers continuous, accurate urine output data, integrates well into the nursing workflow, and provides timely alerts when urine output deviates from expected trends. What stands out to me is that the measurement is taken close to the catheter itself, so the technology is designed to support adults, pediatric, and neonatal patients.” ![Barbara Strain, principal at Barbara Strain Consulting](https://fizemedical.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Layer-14.png) Barbara Strain MA, SM (ASCP), CVAHP, is Principal, "Barbara Strain Consulting LLC". “According to accumulated clinical data, hospital-acquired AKI is caused by various factors. Despite nurses’ best efforts, it’s hard to optimize every encounter in someone’s hospital stay. This is why it is highly beneficial to have an accurate detection system, such as the FIZE kUO, supporting early AKI treatment.” ![Dr. Uri Pollak, director of Hadassah Ein Kerem's pediatric ICU](https://fizemedical.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Daniel-Arrelano-1.jpg) Dr. Uri Pollak Director of the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Hadassah Ein Kerem In small babies, a 5 cc change will determine if they are anuric, oliguric, or have normal urine output. This precision is crucial for the early detection of AKI, as current manual measurement techniques lack the necessary accuracy to measure such small amounts of urine ![Prof. Moti Klein, Head of Intensive Care at Soroka University Medical Center](https://fizemedical.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Daniel-Arrelano-3.jpg) Prof. Moti Klein Head of Intensive Care at Soroka University MC Automatic, independent, precise, and timely measurement of urine output is crucial for effective monitoring of the critically ill patient.
