Q

Calculate fluid replacement in children
Jenna is a 7-year-old girl requiring maintenance fluid prior to her appendectomy. Her weight is 22kg.

Weight Fluid (mL/kg/day)
0-10kg (first 10kg) = 100
11-20kg (second 10kg) = 50
>21kg (third 10kg and greater) = 20

Fluids (mL/kg/hour)
0-10kg (first 10kg) = 4
11-20kg (second 10kg) = 2
>21kg (third 10kg and greater) = 1

A

Fluid maintenance for Jenna may be calculated per day:
(100 x 10) + (50 x 10) + (20 x 2) = 1540 mL/kg/day = 64 mL/hour

Fluid maintenance may also be calculated per hour:
(4 x 10) + (2 x 10) + (1 x 2) = 62 mL/hour
