INTRODUCTION
• Water & electrolyte balance is crucial for body
hemostasis & is one of the most protected
physiological mechanism in body
• A critical role of kidney is to maintain circulating
volume, plasma osmolality & electrolyte hemostasis
within relatively narrow limit
• Changes in both fluid volume & electrolyte
composition occur preoperatively, intraoperatively
& postoperatively, as well response to trauma or
sepsis

FLUID THERAPY
PRINCIPLE OF FLUID THERAPY
1. Correction of existing fluid abnormalities
• Fluid resuscitation
• Sepsis (sepsis bundle) – 30 ml/kg
• Burn = TBSA(%) x 4 x body weight (kg) – Parkland’s formula
2. Maintenance of daily requirement
• Normal ongoing loss – Sensible & insensible
3. Replacement of ongoing abnormal losses
4. Reassess the patient ( clinical and laboratory
parameter eg. blood pressure, urine output, central
venous pressure )
FLUID MAINTENANCE
100/50/10 rule
•100ml/kg for first 10kg
•50ml/kg for next 10kg
•20ml/kg for every kg (divided
by 24 for hourly rate)
4/2/1 rule
• 4 ml/kg/H for the first 10kg
• 2 ml/kg/H for next 10kg
• 1 ml/kg/H every kg
(total is according to/H)
Average: 30-40 ml/kg/day
CASE ILLUSTRATION
• Mr X is a 50 year old man with weight of 70 kg. He
has no known comorbids. He was electively
admitted for inguinal repair for reducible right
inguinal hernia. He was planned to be kept NBM by
12 midnight.
1) HOW TO CALCULATE FOR FLUID MAINTENANCE
FOR HIM?
Using 100/50/20 formula:
•100 x 10kg =1000 ml
•50 x 10 kg = 500 ml
•20 x 50 kg = 1000 ml
Total = 2500 ml
Using 4/2/1 formula:
•4 x 10kg =40 ml/H
•2 x 10 kg = 20 ml/H
•1 x 50 kg = 50 ml/H
Total 110 ml/H x 24 H = 2640 ml
Using average 35 ml/kg/day: 2450 ml
≈ 5 pints
What type of fluid to give?

CASE ILLUSTRATION
• Remember Mr X? Overnight, he started to
complaint of pain over affected site with persistent
vomiting. His blood investigations were repeated &
he was reassessed again.
2) He was put on NBM. What fluid regime to start?
• Fluid maintenance =
(100 x 10) + (50 x 10) + (20 x 50) = 2500 ml
• Na maintenance = 1-2 mmol/kg = 70-140 mmol/day
• K maintenance = 0.5-1 mmol/kg = 35-70 mmol/day
• Therefore =
• 2 pints NS (0.9% NaCl) = 150 mmol Na + 1 L water
• 3 pints D5% = 1.5 L water + 150 g glucose
• 70 mmol KCl = 5.26 g
3) After persistent vomiting, he was noted to be confused. His Na
level came back as 111 mmol/L. How to correct his Na level?
• Total body water = 70 x 0.6 = 42 L
• He is severely symptomatic  Correct Na fast
• Correct 3 mmol/L in 3 hour with 3% NaCl
• Change in serum Na = Infusate Na – Serum Na
Total body water + 1
= 513 – 111
42 + 1
= 9.35 mmol/L
• To aim for 3 mmol/L elevation = 3 ÷ 9.35
= 0.32 L of 3% NaCl
= 320 ml 3% NaCl over 3 hour
4) His K level came back as 3.0 mmol/L. How to
correct his K level?
•K deficit =
(4.0 – 3.0) X 70 X 0.4
13.3
= 2.1 g
•Solution = Fast correction 2 g KCl in 200 ml NS over 2
hours
CALCIUM
CALCIUM

MANAGEMENT
Rehydration & saline
diuresis
0.45-0.9% saline, about
(3-4 L) for 2-3 days
IV frusemide
Biphosphonates -
Pamidronate 30 mg stat
dose
Dialysis
• Water constitute 50-60% of body weight
• The principal extracellular cation is Na and principal
anion are Cl and HCO3.
• In contrast principal intracellular cation is K and Mg
and principal anion is PO4
• In normal individual, fluid balance is achieved
through water intake and loss.
• Water loss can be divided to insensible and sensible
loss
• Extracellular volume deficit is most common fluid
disorder in surgical patient
TAKE HOME MESSAGES
• Most acute surgical illness are accompanied by
some degree volume loss or redistribution, thus
isotonic fluid administration is most common initial IV
fluid given.
• The most important type of hyponatraemia in
surgical patients is due to hypovolumia thus
management is directed towards replacement of
water volume & Na level.
• Symptoms of hypernatraemia are related to
hyperosmolarity effect of Na which results in cellular
dehydration
• Hypokalaemia is one of the important cause of ileus
