Q

Why are infants and young children more vulnerable to dehydration?

A

high metabolic H20 turnover daily/hour
larger SA relative to their weight
greater % of TBW located in ECF (fluid in EC is more available for transfer to environment and is more readily available for evaporation –> dehydration)

Q

Insensible losses of fluid

A

metabolic water (high metabolic = lose more)
evaporation from skin
evaporation from respiratory tract

insensible is relatively larger component in infants and young children

Q

What is the first choice for resuscitation

A

isotonic fluid - normal saline = 0.9% saline

bc fluid needs to stay in the intravascular space

18
Q

1 kg =

A

2.2 lbs

19
Q

how are deficits given?

A

first 1/2 given over 8 hours

second 1/2 given over 16 hours

20
Q

Where is most sodium lost from?

A

the ECF

21
Q

amount of sodium last during first 3 days of illness

A

80% of H20 volume and Na+ are lost from the ECF
20% of H20 volume and Na+ are lost from ICF

22
Q

amount of sodium and water lost after day 3 of illness

A

60% of H20 volume and Na+ are lost from ECF
40% of H20 volume are Na+ are lost from ICF

23
Q

Total hourly rate is determined by calculating…

A

maintenance fluids + deficits - any initial bolus

24
Q

what tells us the RATE of fluid replacement

A

H2O

25
Q

What tells us the TYPE of fluid replacement

A

Na+

26
Q

Fluids given for volume expansion

A

crystalloid
colloid

27
Q

Crystalloid fluid

A

water soluble electrolytes in solution
exert a significant hydrostatic effect (pushes against walls to increase volume)

28
Q

colloid fluid

A

larger molecules suspended in aqueous solution; exert oncotic effect (pulls fluid in and retains it in intravascular space and doesn’t let it go out to interstitial space)

Natural: albumin, fresh frozen plasma (FFP), blood
Synthetic: hetastarch

29
Q

What fluid should you use for acidosis

A

lactated ringers –> convert HCO3- in the liver

30
Q

What fluid for burns

A

saline solution from maintenance
plus LR for deficit replacement

31
Q

What fluid for pyloric stenosis (babies –> projectile vomit –> hypochloremic, hypokalemic, metabolic alkalosis)

A

D5 0.45% NS or D10 0.45% NS
Dextrose adds some calories (bc vomiting)
Avoid LR due to alkalosis

32
Q

Effects of adding dextrose to maintenance fluids

A

water will be drawn into the intracellular compartment more effectively

some calories – but minimal – may decrease ketone generation (prevents ketone generation so can be used for someone with DKA)

33
Q

For fever

A

add 10-12% to maintenance fluid per degree C above 37.8 degree C (99F)

bc higher metabolic demands

34
Q

For burns: do not give KCl

A

cell lysis –> intracellular K+ release
Rhabdomyolysis secondary to burn –> increased K+
patient will be hyperkalemic

35
Q

Daily need of Na+ if we are well

A

30 mEq/L or 3 mEq/100 mL

36
Q

signs of fluid overload

A

edema
hepatic congestions
crackles on lungs

37
Q

What tells us HOW MUCH solution

A

water

38
Q

Why is 0.22% NS banned from some hospitals

A

too hypotonic and often causes hemolysis
