22
Paediatric fluids 3 options Maintenance fluids Bolus fluids
0.9% NaCl + 5% Dextrose 100mls/kg/day for each of first 10kg (ie 0-10kg) 50ml/kg/day for each of next 10kg (ie 10-20kg) 20ml/kg/day for every further kg Eg 24kg = (100 x 10) + (50 x 10) + (20 x 4) = = 1580 over 24 h Bolus fluids 20ml/kg 0.9% NaCl in most situations 10ml/kg when…… DKA, Trauma, Fluid overload or heart failure Dehydration corrections
23
Paediatric fluids Dehydration corrections: Usually over 24 hours
Maintenance fluids PLUS %dehydration Most of your body is water -> estimate the % lost Weigh the child if possible. 1kg weight loss = 1000ml lost Estimate clinically if not possible 3% weight loss in 20kg child. 20kg = 20000g = 20000mls fluid 1% = 200ml, therefore 3% = 600ml ADD the correction onto maintenance fluids over 24h
