**Rehydration Example:**
*Jimmy is a 4 year old boy brought into the pediatric ED by his mom. He has been vomiting & having diarrhea for 4 days. You determine he has mild dehydration & your hospital recommends a sfluid deficit of 40 mL/kg/24 hours for thsi type of dehydration. He weighs 37 kg.*
**1.)** Calculate the fluids needed to correct the deficit
**2.)** Calculate the bolus amount
**3.)** Calculate the maintenance IV fluid (MIVF) rate
**1.) Calculate fluids needed to correct the deficit**
* 40 mL/kg **x** 37 kg **= 1480 mL**
**2.) Calculate the bolus amount**
* 37 kg **x** 20 mL **= 740 mL**
**3.) Calculate the MIVF Rate**
* **(**10 kg **x** 4 mL/kg/hr**) + (**10 kg **x** 2 mL/kg/hr**) + (**17 **x** 1 mL/kg/hr**) =**
* 40 mL **+** 20 mL **+** 17 mL **= 77 mL**
* **First hour he will receive 1 NS bolus of 740 mL** (20 mL/kg bolus x 37 kg = 740 mL)
**Then he will receive the remaining 740 mL** (1480 -740 = 740) **deficit over the next 23 hours**
* 740 **/** 23 hr **= 32.17 mL/hr**
* 32.17 mL **+** 77 mL **= 109 mL/hr**

118
**What is IC Ratio?**
| **KNOW THIS!!!!!**
**Amount of carbs 1 unit of insulin will cover**
*Ex:* 1 unit of insulin covers 15 g of carbs = 1:15 IC ratio
119
**How do you calculate IC ratio?**
| **KNOW THIS!!!!**
**1.) Calculate the total gram of carbs in the meal**
**2.) Divide total grams of carbs in the meal by the ratio**
120
**IC Ratio Example:**
A patient orders 45 grams of carbs for lunch. The IC ratio is 1:15. How many units of insulin should the patient receive for this meal?
45 **/** 15 **= 3 units**
121
**What is Correction Factor (CF)?**
| **KNOW THIS!!!!!!**
**Determines insulin coverage based on target glucose**
*Example:*
* target glucose = 150
* current glucose = 300
**1.) high BG - goal BG**
* 300 - 150 = 150
**2.) Divide by CF (CF = 50)**
* 150 **/** 50 = 3 units of insulin
122
**Correction Factor Example:**
Mary has Type 1 DM. Her order reads IC ratio of 1:20 & her target blood sugar is 150 with a CF of 50. You are her nurse & she is ready to order lunch. She orders a pizza slice & millk. Dietary reports that her total carbs for the meal are 85. You obtain her blood glucose & it is 300. How much insulin do you anticipate the pediatric NP to order?
**1.)** *Insulin needed for the meal* **= Carbs / IC ratio**
* 85 carbs **/** 20 **=** 4.25 units
**2.)** *Insulin needed for higher blood sugar* **= (Current BG - Target BG) / CF**
* (300 - 150) / 50
* 150 / 50 **=** 3 units
**3.) Add the insulin needed for the meal to the insulin needed for the higher blood sugar**
* 4.25 units **+** 3 units **= 7 units** *(round to nearest whole number)*
123
