Problem # 6) TP is admitted to the pediatric hospital and will require IV fluids as she is to be NPO. She weighs 17 kg. She h

Answer 1

Answer #1

For body weight 11-20 kg, the fluid requirement is

1000 ml + 50 ml/kg for each kg > 10 kg

For TP, weight = 17 Kg

Usual fluid requirement for TP = 1000 + 7 ×50 =1000+ 350 = 1350 ml

Each 1 degree Celcius over 38 degrees increases maintenance fluid requirements by 12%

Fluid requirement for her when fever is 40 is 24 % increase in normal fluid requirement

1350 × 24/100 =324 ml

So the total fluid requirement for her at 40 degree celsius fever = 1350+324 = 1674 ml/day
