- Pediatric Dehydration
- Replace Phase 1 Acute Resuscitation
- Give LR OR NS at 10-20 ml/kg IV over 30-60 minutes
- May repeat bolus until circulation stable
- Calculate 24 hour maintenance requirements
- Formula
- First 10 kg: 4 cc/kg/hour (100 cc/kg/24 hours)
- Second 10 kg: 2 cc/kg/hour (50 cc/kg/24 hours)
- Remainder: 1 cc/kg/hour (20 cc/kg/24 hours)
- Example: 35 Kilogram Child
- Hourly: 40 cc/h + 20 cc/h + 15 cc/h = 75 cc/hour
- Daily: 1000 cc + 500 cc + 300 cc = 1800 cc/day
- Calculate Deficit (See Pediatric Dehydration)
- Mild Dehydration: 4% deficit (40 ml/kg)
- Moderate Dehydration: 8% deficit (80 ml/kg)
- Severe Dehydration: 12% deficit (120 ml/kg)
- Calculate remaining deficit
- Subtract fluid resucitation given in Phase 1
- Calculate Replacement over 24 hours
- First 8 hours: 50% Deficit + Maintenance
- Next 16 hours: 50% Deficit + Maintenance
- Determine Serum Sodium Concentration
- Pediatric Hypertonic Dehydration (Serum Sodium > 150)
- Pediatric Isotonic Dehydration
- Pediatric Hypotonic Dehydration (Serum Sodium < 130)
- Add Potassium to Intravenous Fluids after patient voids
- Potassium source
- Potassium Chloride
- Potassium Acetate for Metabolic Acidosis
- Potassium dosing
- Weight <10 kilograms: 10 meq/liter KCl
- Weight >10 Kilograms: 20 meq/liter KCl
