Question 26

What is Dextran?

Answer 26

Highly branched polysaccharide

Question 27

What type of surgery is dextran useful for? Why?

Answer 27

Microvascular surgery due to inhibition of clotting cascade.

Question 28

What can dextran interfere with? (besides the clotting cascade)

Answer 28

Question 30

What are standards for NPO status?

Answer 30

Question 31

What is the classic formula for NPO/maintenance fluid replacement?

4-2-1 Rule

Answer 31

1st 10kg = 4 mL/kg/hr → 40mL/hr
2ⁿᵈ 10kg = 2 mL/kg/hr → 20mL/hr
Each 1kg over 20kg = 1mL/kg/hr

Question 32

What would the maintenance fluid rate (4-2-1 rule) be for a 110kg patient?

Answer 32

40 mL + 20 mL + (90 x 1mL/kg/hr) → 150 mL/hr

Question 33

What would the maintenance fluid rate be for a 18kg toddler?

Answer 33

1st 10kg → 40 mL
2ⁿᵈ 8kg → 16 mL

= 56 mL/hr

Question 34

How is fluid deficit replaced in a surgery?

Answer 34

½ calculated volume in 1st hour
¼ volume in 2ⁿᵈ hour
¼ volume in the 3rd hour

Question 35

How is fluid deficit calculated?

Answer 35

hours NPO x 4-2-1 maintenance rate

Question 36

How is hourly intraoperative volume replacement calculated?

Answer 36

Deficit + Maintenance + EBL

Answer 37

100 mL
