| Abstract | Most heart failure (HF) patients are frequently readmission following hospitalization with dyspnea, edema, and orthopnea, which are signs of life-threatening. Evidences shown that fluid self-management of HF patients reduces readmission rates, hospitalization rates, and mortality rates. The health care team plays an important role to promote and encourage HF fluid self-management in three areas: 1) reducing the dietary sodium intake, 2) monitoring volume status and their condition and symptoms, and 3) balancing fluid management. Fluid self-management behaviors are ultimately the responsibilities of HF patient, which achieve good patient outcomes and improve quality of life. |
