Reason

W.O.M. has received complaints regarding incorrect fluid deficit measurements. If the displayed fluid deficit is lower than the actual deficit the patient could be overexposed to distention media. Exceeding the deficit limit can lead to a serious risks such as gynaecological tur syndrome (when using electrolyte-free solutions as irrigation medium) or pulmonary/cerebral edemas (when using electrolyte-containing solutions). This potential incorrect display of fluid deficit has been attributed to loose bag shields on the cart scale.
