Q

what dictates whether the solution should be delivered via the peripheral or central venous route?

A

The tonicity of an IV fluid
Extremely hypotonic and hypertonic solutions may be infused in small volumes and into large vessels, where dilution and distribution are rapid.

Example: 70kg pt
4ml/kg/hr*10kg = 40 ml/hr
2ml/kg/hr*10kg = 20 ml/hr
1ml/kg/hr*50kg = 50 ml/hr
		       	70kg = 110 ml/hr

Q

fluid calculation

A 
Hysterectomy 70 kg Female
NPO Deficit 10 hrs = 1100 ml NS
Maintenance 110 ml/hr
Blood loss = 300 = 900 ml NS
Sensible loss 4 ml/kg/hr = 280 ml/hr
Total case 3 hours = 1100+330+900+840 = 3170 ml
