    • Cephalosporins:
      Metabolism:
      Elimination:
      Legalities:
A

Metabolism: ONLY CEFTIOFUR IS METABOLIZED (ceftiofur is not active until metabolized).
Elimination: Most are eliminated by the kidney as the parent drug. Good for urinary tract infections.

Q

How to calculate Replacement fluid

  • Maintenance Fluid
  • 24 hr needs
A

Kg in weight X % dehydrated
(gives you L, so convert to ml if needed)

  • M:
    30 x kg wt + 70
    (gives you ml)
  • 24 hr:
    Add Replacement + Maintenance + Loss
