This prospective observational study evaluates the real-time urine output response to fluid therapy and diuretics in cardiothoracic intensive care unit (CTICU) patients monitored with the FIZE kUO® device. The study aims to assess how continuous urine output monitoring can inform fluid management and improve patient outcomes post-cardiac surgery.
The study involves adult patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or valve replacement/repair surgeries. Utilizing the FIZE kUO® device, continuous urine output data will be collected to analyze responses to hemodynamic interventions, including fluid boluses and diuretics. Secondary objectives include assessing urine output differences in patients with and without postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI), responses to vasopressors, and capturing real-time urine output data from FIZE kUO® for observational analysis.

FIZE kUO® is a commercially available, non-invasive device used for continuous, minute-by-minute real-time urine output monitoring in patients with an indwelling Foley catheter. In this observational study, the device is used during and after cardiac surgery as part of routine clinical care. Urine output data, along with additional clinical parameters, are collected throughout the study for research analysis.
