3

1

22
Q

Monitor vitals and maintain urine output at a MINIMUM _____ml/kg/hr

A

0.5

23
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
