Answer 1

Answer #1

For the child weighing 44 pounds, the daily rate of maintenance fluid is 1,500ml/ day and the IV hourly flow rate is 62ml/ hr.

The formula used to calculate is:

In body weight method:

(Weight in kgs)

Daily maintenance of fluid requirement formula:

0-10 kg: 100ml/ kg/ day

11-20 kg: 1000ml for first 10kgs +50ml/ kg/ day for each additional kg between 10-20 kgs

Over 20kg: 1500ml for first 20kgs +20ml/ kg/ day For each additional kg over 20kgs

So when converting the baby's weight in kg it is approximately 20kgs.

Hence the baby's daily rate of maintenance fluid is around 1500ml.

The formula to calculate the flow rate is :

Daily volume/ 24= 62ml / hr
