Q

Isoctonic

KNOW THIS!!!!

A
  • Fluid loss cannot be compensated by fluid intake
  • Na+ & water are lost in proportion to each other
  • Na+ is normal

H2O = Na

Q

Hypotonic

KNOW THIS!!!!!

A
  • Na+ loss is greater than water loss
  • Na+ is low
  • Fluid shifts from ECF to ICF to attempt to correct worsening dehydration

H2O < Na+

Q

Hypertonic

KNOW THIS!!!!!

A
  • Water loss is greater than Na+ loss
  • Na+ is HIGH
  • Fluid moves from ICF to ECF & thus s/s appear late

Q

Mild Dehydration

KNOW THIS!!!!!

A

< / = 5% (40-50 mL/kg) loss of body weight

  • Difficult to detect

S/S:
* Slightly ↓ urine output
* Moist mucous membranes

18
Q

Moderate Dehydration

KNOW THIS!!!!!

A

6 - 10% (60 - 90 mL/kg) loss of body weight

S/S:
* sleepy / lethargic
* ↓ skin turgor
* ↓ urine output
* dark urine
* dry mucous membranes

19
Q

Severe Dehydration

KNOW THIS!!!!

A

> / = 10% (100 mL/kg) loss of body weight

S/S:
* ↑ irritability
* lethargy
* non-responsive
* tachycardia (↑ HR)
* tachypneic (↑ RR)
* ↓ / absent urine output

20
Q

How to Calculate IV Fluid Replacement

KNOW THIS!!!!!

A

1.) Calculate deficit for 24 hours

2.) Calculate Hourly Maintenance IV Fluids (MIVF)

**3.) IV Rate = ** Deficit + MIVF
* Replace 50% in first 8 hours
* Replace 50% in the next 16 hours

21
Q

Jimmy is a 4 year old boy brought to the pediatric ED by his mom. He has been vomiting & having diarrhea for 4 days. You determine that he has mild dehydration & your hospital recommends a fluid deficit of 40 mL/kg/24hr for this type of dehydration. He weighs 37 kg.

A

1.) Calculate the fluids needed to correct the deficit.
* 40 mL x 37 kg = 1480 mL

2.) Calculate the Bolus Amount (bolus is given 20 mL/kg over 30-60 minutes)
* 37 kg x 20 mL = 740 mL

3.) Calculate the MIVF Rate
* (10 kg x 4 mL/kg/hr) + (10 kg x 2 mL/kg/hr) + (17 kg x 1 mL/kg/hr) =
* 40 mL + 20 mL + 17 mL = 77 mL

  • First hour he will receive 1 NS bolus of 740 mL (20 mL/kg bolus x 37 kg = 740 mL)

Then he will receive the remaining 740 mL (1480 - 740 = 740) deficit over the next 23 hours
* 740 mL / 23 hr = 32.17 mL/hr
* 32.17 mL + 77 mL = 1009 mL/hr

22
Q

Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS)

A

Product given for dehyration that contains complex carbs, sodium (Na+) & potassium (K+)

  • avoid pop = increased diarrhea
23
Q

Oral Rehydration

KNOW THIS!!!!!

A

1-2 tsp fluid every 10-15 minutes

24
Q

4-2-1 Rule for Fluid Maintenance (holiday-segar method)

KNOW THIS!!!!!

A
  • First 10 kg = 4 mL/kg/hr
  • Next 10 kg = 2 mL/kg/hr
  • Above 20 kg = 1 mL/kg/hr
25
Q

4-2-1 Rule Example:

  • Child’s Weight is 8.5 kg
A

8.5 kg x 4 mL/kg/hr = 34 mL / hr

multiply by 4 because the child is under 10 kg

26
Q

4-2-1 Rule Example

  • Child’s weight is 12 kg
A
  • weight = 12 kg

1.) First 10 = (10 kg x 4 mL/kg/hr) = 40 mL/hr
2.) Second 10 = (2 kg x 2 mL/kg/hr) = 4 mL/hr
3.) Add –> 40 mL/hr + 4 mL/hr = 44 mL/hr

27
Q

4-2-1 Rule Example:

  • Child weighs 30 kg
A
  • Child weighs 30 kg

1.) First 10 kg = 10 kg x 4 mL/kg/hr = 40 mL/hr

2.) Second 10 kg = 10 kg x 2 mL/kg/hr = 20 mL/hr

3.) Above 20 kg = 10 kg x 1 mL/kg/hr = 10 mL/hr

4.) ADD –> 40 mL/hr + 20 mL//hr + 10 mL/hr = 70 mL/hr

28
Q

IV Fluid Bolus

KNOW THIS!!!!
