Q

What are 5 risk factors for dehydration in N/V?

A
  1. Increased extracellular fluid percentage and an increase in body water compared to adults.
  2. Increased basal metabolic rate.
  3. Increased body surface area.
  4. Immature renal function.

50
Q

  • Sports drinks
51
Q

  • Severe
52
Q

53
Q

How do you calculate the daily maintenance fluid requirements?

A
  • Child’s weight (kg)
  • 100 mL/kg 0-10 kg
  • 50 mL/kg 10-20 kg
  • 20 mL/kg for remaining kg
  • So, if a child weighs 23 kg, it would be: 1,000 + 500 + 60 = 1,560 mL/24 hours

Fluid loss not balanced by fluid intake. Sodium and water losses in proportion.

A

Isotonic/Isonatremic
