2. I.V fluid therapy:-
•
Indications:-
1-severe dehydration
2-mild to moderate dehydration if there is:-
*diarrhea >100 cc/hr
*abdominal distension due to paralytic ilius or
gastric distention.
*comatose patient.
*repeated vomiting.
*patient refused oral route.
3. Fluid therapy
There are two components to fluid therapy:
•
Maintenance therapy
•
Replacement therapy
4. Maintenance therapy:-
•
replaces the ongoing losses of water and electrolytes under
normal physiologic conditions via urine, sweat, respiration,
and stool.
•
Measured according to body weight;
Body weight(kg) Volume per day Hourly rate
0-10 100ml/kg 4 ml/kg/hr
11-20 1000 ml+50 ml/kg for
each 1kg >10 kg
40 ml/hr +2
ml/kg/hr*(wt-10)
>20 1500 ml +20 ml/kg for
each 1 kg >20kg
60 ml/hr+1 ml /kg/hr
*(wt-20)
5. Maintenance requirements of
electrolyte:
•
2-3 mEq/kg/day of sodium
•
1-2 mEq/kg/day of potassium.
•
Maintenance fluids
5% dextrose (D5),1/2,1/4 and 1/5 glucose saline
•
Children weighing less than about 20 to 25 kg do
best with the solution containing quarter NS
because of their high water needs per kilogram.
•
larger children and adults may receive the solution
with half NS.
6.
7.
8.
9. •
The glucose in maintenance fluids provides
approximately 20% of the normal caloric needs of
the patient.
•
This percentage is enough
1. to prevent the development of starvation
ketoacidosis and
2. diminishes the protein degradation that would
occur if the patient received no calories.
•
avoiding the administration of hypotonic fluids,
which may cause hemolysis
10. •
a child on maintenance IV fluids loses 0.5% to
1% of real weight each day because .
Maintenance fluids do not provide adequate
calories, protein, fat, minerals, or vitamins.
•
The maximum total fluid per day is normally
2400 mL.
•
The maximum fluid rate is normally 100
mL/hr.
14. Heat stress:-
•
Fever leads to a predictable increase in
insensible losses, causing a 10% to 15%
increase in maintenance water needs for each
1°C increase in temperature greater than
38°C.
e.g:-12 kg ,39c
=1100+(1100*10%)
=1100+110
=1210 ml
16. Replacement therapy
•
corrects any existing water and electrolyte
deficits.
•
These deficits can result from gastrointestinal,
urinary, or skin losses, bleeding, and third-
space sequestration.
17. Calculation of deficit:
•
Water deficit(L)=degree of dehydration*B.wt
•
Na deficit=water D in litter*80 mEq/L
•
K deficit=water D*30mEq/L
e.g:-12 kg ,10% dehydrated?
Water D=10% *12=1.2L
Na D=1.2 *80 =96 mEq/L
K D=1.2*30 =36 mEq/L
18. Adjusting Fluid Therapy for
Gastrointestinal Losses
Average Composition Approach to Replacement
Diarrhea Replacement of Ongoing Stool
Losses
Sodium: 55 mEq/L Solution: 5% dextrose in ¼ normal
saline + 15 mEq/L bicarbonate + 25
mEq/L potassium chloride
Potassium: 25 mEq/L Replace stool mL/mL every 1-6 hr
Bicarbonate: 15 mEq/L
Gastric Fluid Replacement of Ongoing gastric
Losses
Sodium: 60 mEq/L Solution: 5% dextrose in half normal
saline + 10 mEq/L potassium
chloride
Potassium: 10 mEq/L Replace output mL/mL every 1-6 hr
Chloride: 90 mEq/L

22. Fluid Management of Dehydration
Restore intravascular volume
Normal saline: 20 mL/kg over 20 min (repeat until intravascular volume restored)
Calculate 24-hr water needs
Calculate maintenance water, calculate deficit water
Calculate 24-hr electrolyte needs
Calculate maintenance Na & K, calculate deficit Na & K
Select an appropriate fluid (based on total water & electrolyte needs)
Administer half the calculated fluid during the first 8 hrs, first subtracting any boluses from this
amount
Administer the remainder over the next 16 hrs
Replace ongoing losses as they occur
23. Example:-12 kg baby presented with severe
dehydration.

24. Hyponatremia: Na<130 mEq/L
•
Hyponatremia usually associated with
hyposomolality.
•
Types of hyponatremia
1. Pseudohyponatremia(lab artifact)
2. Hyperosmolality(hyperglycemia,mannitol)
3. Hypovolemic(extrarenal,renal)
4. Euvolemic(SIADH, hypothyroidism, water
intoxication)
5. Hypervolemic(CHF,cirrhosis,nephrotic syndrome,
RF,hypoalbominemia)
25. Clinical manifestations:-
•
Lethergy, apathy, disorientation, muscle cramps,
anorexia, and agitation
•
Reduced mental status, decreased deep tendon
reflexes, hypothermia, seizures, pseudobulbar
palsies.
•
More severe symptoms associated with acute
decrease of Na level below 120 mEq/L
•
Chronic decrease to 110 mEq/L may be
asymptomatic.
26. Treatment:
1-acute or symptomatic hyponatremia:
Initial therapy should be calculated to raise Na level to 120
mEq/l
Subsequent correction to 130 mEq/l can be carried out over the
next 24-36 hr
Avoid rapid correction over 130 mEq/l because this will lead to
central pontine myelinolysis
Na level should not be raised or lowered more rapidly than 12
mEq/24 hr
Hypertonic saline 3% can be used
Each milliliter of 3% sodium chloride per kilogram increases
the serum sodium by approximately 1 mEq/L.
27. •
Fluid restriction and NaCl (NS)
required Na mEq=(desired Na-current Na)*0.6*wt
•
in symptomatic hyponatremia without edema diuretics can be
used.
volume of diuresis needed to correct hyponatremia may be
calculated by the following equation:
TBW=0.6*wt(kg)
excess water=TBW-current Na/desired Na*TBW
28. Hyponatremic dehydration
•
occurs in children who have diarrhea and
consume a hypotonic fluid (water or diluted
formula).
•
Volume depletion stimulates secretion of
ADH, preventing the water excretion.
•
some patients develop symptoms,
predominantly neurologic.
29. Treatment of hyponatremic
dehydration•
Need water and Na replacement
•
Required mEq=(desired Na-current
Na)*0.6*wt(kg)
e.g:-12 kg ,severely dehydrated ,Na level 110
mEq/l ?
Fluid requirement=1800 ml
mEq=(120-110)*0.6*12
=72 mEq
•
Given over 24-36 hr
30. •
Clinical manifestations:
Most children with hypernatremia are dehydrated and have the
typical signs and symptoms of dehydration.
•
Blood pressure and urine output are maintained, and
hypernatremic infants are less symptomatic initially and
potentially become more dehydrated before seeking medical
attention.
•
the pinched abdominal skin of a dehydrated, hypernatremic
infant has a "doughy" feel.
Hpernatremia:- Na>150 mEq/l
31. –
Hypernatremia, even without dehydration, causes
CNS symptoms that tend to parallel the degree of sodium
elevation and the acuity of the increase.
–
Patients are irritable, restless, weak, and lethargic.
–
Some infants have a high-pitched cry and hyperpnea.
–
Alert patients are very thirsty, although nausea may
be present.
–
Hypernatremia causes fever, although many patients
have an underlying process that contributes to the fever.
–
Hypernatremia is associated with hyperglycemia and
mild hypocalcemia; the mechanisms are unknown
32.
Brain hemorrhage is the most devastating
consequence of hypernatremia. As the
extracellular osmolality increases, water
moves out of brain cells, resulting in a
decrease in brain volume. This decrease in
volume can result in tearing of intracerebral
veins and bridging blood vessels as the brain
moves away from the skull and the meninges.
Patients may have subarachnoid, subdural,
and parenchymal hemorrhage.
Seizures and coma are possible squeal of the
hemorrhage, although seizures are more
common during treatment.
33. Treatment:
•
Hypernatremia should be corrected slowly
over 24-36 hr.
•
Lowering Na level not > 12 mEq/L/day
because rapid correction lead to cerebral
edema.
•
normal TBW=0.6*normal wt(kg)
current TBW=TBW*normal Na/current Na
water deficit=normal TBW-current TBW
34. Hypernatremic dehydration
•
is usually a consequence of an inability to
taken fluid, owing to a lack of access, a poor
thirst mechanism (neurologic impairment),
intractable emesis, or anorexia.
•
Children with hypernatremic dehydration
often appear less ill than children with a
similar degree of isotonic dehydration.
•
Children with hypernatremic dehydration are
often lethargic and irritable when touched.
35.
36. Hypokalemia: K < 3.0 mEq/L
•
Clinical manifestations:
ileus, muscle weakness, polyuria, polydipsia,
areflexic paralysis.
•
ECG changes include:
i. ST depression
ii. T wave reduction
iii. Presence of U wave
37.
38. Factors that influence the therapy of hypokalemia
include:
the potassium level
clinical symptoms,
renal function,
presence of transcellular shifts of
potassium(DKA,metabolic acidosis)
ongoing losses
patient's ability to tolerate oral potassium
41. Hyperkalemia: K >5.5 mEq/l
•
Clinical manifestations
paresthesia ,weakness ,flaccid paralysis ,cardiac
arrhythmia.
•
ECG changes
1 . (5.5-7 mEq/l)peaked or tented T-wave.
2 . (7-8 mEq/l)prolonged PR, ST depression,
initial widening of the QRS complex.
3 . ( >8mEq/l)flat P wave, wide QRS.
4 . no treatment lead to asystole or ventricular
42.

•
Renal tubular acidosis
•
Urinary tract diversions
•
Increased anion gap
54. Anion gap:
•
Useful to diffrentiate between bicarbonate
loss from net acid gain.
•
Normal range 10-14 mEq/L.
•
In acidosis:
Undetermind anion above normal range is
considered to be net acid gain.
Normal anion gap indicate bicarbonate loss by
gastrointestinal or renal system.
•
