Q

How to calculate fluid deficit

A

(Maintenance rate) x (number of hours NPO)

  1. But remember to look at pt history!
  2. Inpatient - may not have a fluid deficit if on maintinence fluids
  3. Also, if hypovolemic at baseline, they will have a larger than calculated fluid deficit.
    • ex- on ACE inhibitors, have been vomiting, have NG to suction, chest tube, etc.
  4. Fluid should be replaced to restore HR, BP, and filling pressures prior to induction
  5. Normal UO is also desirable

Dextran → plt inhibition

Hetastarch→ dilutional thrombocytopenis

Max dose for both is 20mL/kg.

40
