•TBW as a % of body weight varies with age.
•Term neonate = TBW is 75% of body weight
•Preterm > Term
•Infant  60% of weight ……almost constant till puberty
•Puberty:
Females  more fat ---- TBW decr. To 50-55%
Males  more muscle ---- TBW remains at 60%

DEHYDRATION
Isotonic
Na = 135 – 150
Proportional loss from
ECF and ICF
Hypotonic
Na < 130
Implies excess
Na loss from ECF
Water moves
from ECF to ICF
Further
contracting the
ECF leading to
shock
Hypertonic
Na > 150
Excessive loss of water
from ECF
Water moves from ICF to
ECF
Intracellular dehydration
Clinical signs less
evidentwww.dnbpediatrics.com

If losses occur over short period of time …… losses are
mainly from ECF
Duration ECF ICF
< 3 days 80% 20%
≥ 3 days 60% 40%

 Intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments
› Estimate % dehydration from ECF and ICF related to duration of disease
› Na deficit = fluid deficit (l) * proportion from ECF * 145
› K deficit = fluid deficit (l) * proportion from ICF * 150
 Free water deficit in hypernatremic dehydration
 FW needed to decre. Na by 1 meq/l = 4 ml/kg ( 3 ml/kg if Na > 170)

Isotonic dehydration (Na 130-145 mEq/L)

7 kg child with 10% dehydration of illness of >3 days
Na = 137 . Illness weight 6.3 kg

Hypernatremic Dehydration (Na+ > 150 mEq/L)
•Mortality can be high
•Often iatrogenic
•The intravascular volume(extracellular space) is
preserved at the expense of the intracellular
volume
•The patient looks better than you would expect
based on fluid loss
• Irritable, lethargic, fever, hypertonicity ,
hyperreflexia www.dnbpediatrics.com

Free Water Deficit
Use 4 ml/kg of body weight for each mEq of Na+
above 145 mEq/L as the
Free Water Deficit=
(Serum Na+ -145 mEq/l) x weight x 4
= total amount of free water needed to dilute
the serum to get a normal concentration Na+
Only correct half of total Free Water Deficit in
first 24 hours if Na+ < 170 mEq/l
Solute fluid deficit (L) = Total F D (L) – FWD(L)

o In phase 2 management,
o correct sodium levels……….not more than 12 mEq/L/24h.
o Rapid correction .….. disastrous neurologic consequences,
……including cerebral edema and death.
o Hyperglycemia and hypocalcemia are sometimes
associated with hypernatremic dehydration.
o Serum glucose and calcium levels should be monitored
closely.

 Correct dehydration first with NS (not RL ) for
restoration of intravascular volume, before
correction of hypernatremia
 Type of fluid- D5 ½ saline(with 20meq/l KCL unless
c/i)
 Duration of correction- 48-72 hrs
 Seizures during correction- 3% NaCl by 4-6ml/kg
( Each 1ml/kg of 3% NaCl………increase S.Na 1mEq/l)

Hypotonic Dehydration (Na+ < 135 mEq/L)
•Combination of sod. and water loss and water retention
to compensate for the volume depletion
•Children with vomiting and diarrhea who have received
hypotonic fluids as oral replacement
•Shock is an early symptom.
•Neurological symptom – anorexia, nausea, emesis, malaise
lethargy, headache, seizures, coma.
•Physical exam findings usually exaggerate
amount of dehydration.

› slow correction (>0.5 mEq/L/h or 12 meq/l/day)
› Rapid correction (>2 mEq/L/h) of chronic
hyponatremia ………central pontine myelinolysis.
› Rapid partial correction of symptomatic hyponatremia
has not been associated with adverse effects.
› Therefore, if the child is symptomatic (seizures)…..
 Each ml/kg Hypertonic (3%) NaCl increases S.Na 1meq/L.
 4 mL/kg ….raises the serum sodium by 4 mEq/L.

•To calculate the Na+ Deficit, multiply 0.6
mEq/kg of body weight for each mEq of Na+
below 135 mEq/L.
Na+ Deficit = 0.6 * b. wt. *( 135 – Na+)

 Gastrointestinal tract is potentially a source
of considerable water & electrolyte loss.
 G. I. losses are to be precisely measured &
to be added to calculated maintenance water
 Losses should be replaced as they occur
using a solution with same approximate
electrolyte conc. as the G. I. fluid.

Adjusting fluid therapy for Diarrhea
Avg . Composition of diarrheal fluid.
Sodium : 55 mEq/L
Potassium : 25mEq/L
Bicarbonate : 15mE/L
*Cholera Na loss : 90 – 110 mEq/L
Replacement of ongoing losses :-
D5 0.2 N S +20mEq/L sod. bicarb.+20mEq/L KCL
Replace stool ml/ml every 1 – 6 hrs

Adjusting Fluid therapy for Emesis/ Nasogastric
loss
Avg . Composition of gastric fluid
Na : 60mEq/l
K : 10mEq/l
CL : 90mEq/l
Replacement of ongoing losses :-
N S + 10mEq/l KCL
Replace output ml/ml every 1 – 6 hr

Adjusting fluid therapy for Altered Renal Output
 OLIGURIA /ANURIA
Place patient on insensible fluid (25% - 40% of
mainte. or 1/3rd of maintenance)
Replace urine output ml/ml with ½ N S
 POLYURIA
Place patient on insensible fluid (25% - 40% of
mainte. )
Measure urine electrolytes
Replace urine output ml/ml with solution based on
measured urine electrolytes

 Surgical Drains & Chest tubes can produce
measurable fluid output .
 If it is significant….can be measured & replace
with appropriate replacement solution.
 Third space losses & chest tube output are
isotonic & they usually require replacement with
isotonic fluids as N S or R L .
 Postoperatively……..fluid intake should be limited
for 24 hr.
usual maintenance therapy is
resumed gradually

 Consider Fluid Therapy for
› >10% BSA 30
› >15% BSA 20
› >30-50% BSA 10 with accompanying 20
 LR using Parkland Burn Formula
› 4 cc/kg/% burn
› 1/2 in first 8 hours
› 1/2 over 2nd 16 hours

 Example of fluid management
 A 10kg patient with 50% body surface area burn would
require:
 4 x 50 x 10 = 2000mls of fluid over 24 hours.
 Therefore 1 litre should be given in the first 8 hours
and 1 litre over the following 16 hours
 Blood products and colloid may also be given in addition
to these requirements .
