  1. FluidsAnd dehydration University of Nevada School of Medicine Department of Pediatrics

  2. Objectives • Discuss maintenance fluid in children and why it is needed • Discuss dehydration • Isotonic, hypotonic, hypertonic • Go over some brief examples of each • Practice doing fluid calculations

  3. Things you’ll need to know • Deficit • How much is the deficit • What kind of loss was there • Boluses • Maintenance rate • Ongoing losses • Electrolyte maintenance/imbalance • Isotonic, hypotonic, hypertonic

  4. Maintenance • What determines maintenance? • Urine • Insensible losses • Stool • Respiration • Skin • Intrinsic loss • By-product of metabolism • Kidney function • Anuria/oliguria • What makes kids different? • Higher metabolic rate and evaporative loss

  5. Maintenance cont • How can you estimate maintenance fluids? • Based on metabolic demand • Different formulas • Total body surface area (meter squared) • Requires weight , height and table • Basal metabolic rate • Also requires table, “drier” of the two methods • Holliday-Segar method • Easy but does not account for individual demands

  6. Holliday-Segar Method

  7. Rapid Fire Question • Interns only • What is the maintenance rate, using the Holliday-Segar method, of a child that is 75 kg?

  8. Rapid Fire Question • 115 mL/hr

  9. Insensible losses • Factors affecting insensible losses • Respiratory rate • Age • Pain • Ventilator • Environmental temperature • Phototherapy • Skin defects • Burns • Bullous congenital icthyosiform erythroderma

  10. Respiratory rates HazinskiMF. Anatomic and physiologic differences between children and adults.

  11. Boluses • How do we rehydrate a child who is mildly dehydrated? • Most of the time if they are able to tolerate PO intake, then oral rehydration is recommended • How do we bolus a child who is moderately to severely dehydrated? • Give NS bolus of 20 mL/kg • Can use LR as well, both are isotonic • Speed of infusion depends on state of patient • May repeat if necessary • Frequent reexaminations important

  12. Dehydration/deficit • Causes of dehydration? • Inadequate intake • Sweat/heat • Increased urination • Increased respiratory rate • Vomiting/diarrhea • Blood loss • Fever • Catabolic state • Extra solutes, need extra fluid in order to excrete • Usually, only a one time calculation

  13. Dehydration/deficit cont • What is the most accurate method to determine acute weight loss? • Recent weight change from measured source • Usually difficult to obtain acutely • Otherwise clinical judgment must be made • Expressed as percent body weight

  14. Clinical Signs • What are some signs of dehydration? • Sunken fontanel – babies • Weight loss • Thirst • Decreased skin turgor • Dry mucous membranes • Lack of tears • Decreased urine output • Increased urine specific gravity • Increased heart rate • Decreased blood pressure

  15. Clinical Assessment of Dehydration Pediatr. Rev. 2001;22;380-387

  16. Calculating Deficit • % Dehydration = PIW (kg) – IW (kg) x 100% PIW (kg) PIW = Pre-illness weight IW = Illness weight • Clinically • Take % dehydration x 10 x weight • Example • 10 kg child is 5% dehydrated • 0.05 x 1000mL/kg x 10kg = 500 mL deficit • 50 ml/kg x 10 kg = 500 mL deficit

  17. Rapid Fire Question • Second Years Only • A 13 year old male weighing 45 kilograms is moderately dehydrated. What is his approximate total fluid deficit (TFD)?

  18. Rapid Fire Answer • 2.7 liters or 2700 mL • 60 mL/kg x 45 kg = 2.7 L • Bonus Question • The patient got a 20 mL/kg bolus, what would his deficit be then? • 1.8 liters or 1800 mL

  19. Ongoing Losses • Abnormal losses occurring after the initial deficit is replaced/calculated • Some measurable losses • Vomiting/diarrhea • Urine/polyuria • Non-measurable losses • Also take into effect the loss of electrolytes as well

  20. Rapid Fire Question/Answer • What are some other causes of measurable losses besides urine, vomiting, and diarrhea? • Chest tube • CSF drainage • NG/GT output • Ostomy output

  21. Rapid Fire Question/Answer • Third Years Only • What are some non-measurable losses besides sweat and breathing? • Ileus • Peritonitis • 3rd spacing

  22. Ongoing Losses cont • Most ongoing losses are of GI in nature • ½ NS is usually sufficient for replacement • Measurable losses should be monitored • If consistent, then can be added to maintenance • If sporadic then they can be added up and then replaced every 4-12 hours as needed

  23. Electrolyte Maintenance Requirements • What are the daily requirements for Na and K? • Sodium • 3 meq/100 mL or 30 meq/L • Potassium • 2 meq/100 mL or 20 meq/L

  24. Figuring Out Ions • Example for Na • 20 kg child needs maintenance fluids only • Using the Holliday-Segar method then 30 meq/L needed • Technically speaking that is why ¼ is closest to physiologic • You still need to understand how much Na/K you need in a day • Maintenance fluid is 60 mL/hr x24 hrs = 1440 mL • Na = 1.44 L x 30 meq/L = 43.2 meq/day

  25. Rapid Fire Question • How much sodium would a 12 year old girl, weighing 54 kg, need in a day accounting for maintenance only?

  26. Rapid Fire Answer • 67.7 meq Na per day • Maintenance = 94 mL/hr • 94 mL/hr x 24 hours = 2.256 L • 2.256 L x 30 meq/L = 67.7

  27. Figuring Out Ions cont • Example for K • 20 kg child needs maintenance fluids only • Maintenance fluid is 60 mL/hr x 24 hrs = 1.44 L • Using 20 meq/L x 1.44 L = 28.8 meq/day • Whenever using the Holliday-Segar method then 20 meq/L of KCl is all that is needed for most maintenance calculations • But having that number will help later if you are doing more than just calculating maintenance

  28. Step Wise Fashion for Dehydration • Figure out maintenance • Determine level of dehydration/fluid deficit • Subtract any boluses given • Determine electrolyte needs • 1st in maintenance • 2nd in loss of fluids and added in boluses • 3rd need for balance in hypernatremic/hyponatremic dehydration • Put all of the steps together

  29. Isotonic Dehydration • By definition no need to rebalance Na • Therefore only need to figure out maintenance and loss from dehydration • For the most part D5 ½ NS is usually sufficient

  30. Example • 10 kg child who is 10% dehydrated, got one 20 mL/kg bolus • Boluses have sodium • Also think of the Na that is lost from dehydration • Normal Na concentration in blood is 140 and fluid coefficient is 0.6 • TFD Na = fluid loss (L) x 0.6 x 140 • Remaining deficit = Deficit – Bolus • In 1st 8 hours = (½ Remaining deficit/8) + Maintenance • Next 16 hours = (½ Remaining deficit/16) + Maintenance

  31. Isonatremic Final Answer • Most K is intracellular • Usually acute dehydration, less than 3 days does not affect K concentration • Takes time to move into the serum • Therefore you can assume that K replacement would just consist of maintenance or around 20 meq/L • 960 mL x 2 meq/100 mL = 19.2 meq K • 19.2 meq K / 1.76 L = 10.9 meq/L • D5 1/3 NS with 10 meq KCl @ 90 mL/hr x 8 hrs then 65 mL/hr x 16 hrs

  32. Severe Dehydration with K • After 3 days of dehydration or in severe circumstances then K loss should be determined • Take last example • Example of 10 kg with 10% dehydration • Maintenance K was 19.2 meq K/day • Fluid loss was 1 L • K loss = Intracellular conc x 0.4 (coeff) x TFD • K = 150 x 0.4 x 1 L = 60 meq • Total K = 60 + 19.2 = 80 meq • Conc K = 80 meq / 1.76 L = 45 meq/L • YOU NEVER USE MORE THAN 40 meq/L through an IV

  33. Practice Question • An 8 month old comes to the ER with vomiting and diarrhea for the last 2 days and has the following: • T 102.2, HR 165, BP 60/45, RR 30, Wt 9 kg • Sunken eyes, no tears, lethargy, CR > 5 secs • He is given total boluses of NS of 30 mL/kg • Calculating for dehydration, what would be the approximate FLUID RATES for the next 24 HOURS, for this child?

  34. Practice Answer • 100 mL/hr (103) for the first 8 hours then 70 mL/hr for the next 16 hours • Maintenance = 9 x 4 = 36 mL/hr • Severe dehydration = 15% or 150 mL/kg • TFD = 150 mL/kg x 9 kg = 1.35 L • Bolus = 30 mL/kg x 9 kg = 0.270 L • Deficit = 1350 mL – 270 mL = 1080 mL • 1st 8 hrs = 1080/8/2 + 36 mL/hr = 103 • 2nd 16 hrs = 1080/16/2 + 36 mL/hr = 70

  35. Rapid Fire Question/Answers • What are some signs of hypernatremic dehydration? • Doughy skin* • Anorexia • Restlessness • Nausea, vomiting • Lethargy, irritability, eventually, stupor or coma • Twitching, hyper-reflexia, ataxia, or tremor*

  36. Rapid Fire Question • What is the main concern for decreasing the sodium too quickly in a patient with longstanding hypernatremia?

  37. Rapid Fire Answer • Cerebral Edema

  38. Hypernatremic Dehydration • Excess of Na compared to free water • Should replace deficit over 24-48 hours • Goal is to decrease 0.5-1 meq/L/hr in acute, 0.5 in chronic dehydration • Free water = (Measured Na – 145)x(4mL/kg)x(wt) • 4 mL/kg is the amount of water to account for 1 unit increase of sodium • Example • 10 kg child with Na of 160, 10% dehydration, no bolus given • (160-145) x 4 mL/kg x 10 kg = 600 mL

  39. Hypernatremic Final Answer • D5 1/4 NS • Less than 3 days K part • 960 mL x 2 meq/100 mL = 19.2 meq K • 19.2 meq K / 1.66 L = 12 meq/L for 1st 24 hours • 19.2 meq K / 1.26 L = 15 meq/L for 2nd24 hours • Longer than 3 days K part • Solute Fluid Deficit • 0.4L * 150 *0.4 = 24 meq/L • 24 + 19.2 = 43 meq/L • 43/1.66L = 25 meq /L • D5 1/4 NS + 10 (25) meq/L KCl @ 70 mL/hr x 24 hours then D5 ¼ NS + 15 meq/L KCl @ 50 mL for the next 24 hours

  40. Practice Question • A 15 year old child with severe CP comes in after having poor PO and mild vomiting for the last 2 days. Workup shows a severely dehydrated child. Skin is doughy and he has poor pulses. • Na is 160 • Wt is 40 kg • No boluses are given • What is Total Fluid Deficit (TFD), Solute Fluid Deficit (SFD), and Free Water Deficit (FWD)?

  41. Practice Answer • TFD = 40 kg x 90mL/kg = 3600 mL • FWD = (160 – 145) x 40 kg x 4 ml/kg = 2400 mL • SFD = 3600 – 2400 = 1200 mL • Bonus Question • How much sodium in meq would he need in addition to his maintenance sodium? • 1.2 L x 140 x 0.6 = 100 meq

  42. Rapid Fire Question/Answers • What are the signs of hyponatremic dehydration? • Anorexia • Agitation, confusion, headaches, dizziness • Lethargy • Nausea and vomiting • Muscle cramps* • Neurological deficits, seizures*, comas • Poor skin turgor

  43. Rapid Fire Question • What is the main concern for increasing the sodium too quickly in a patient with longstanding hyponatremia?

  44. Rapid Fire Answer • Central pontine myelinolysis

  45. Hyponatremic Dehydration • Need to figure out Na deficit • Na deficit = (135 - Measured Na )x(0.6)x(wt) • 0.6 is the Df (% co-efficient) of Na in ECF • This is in addition to the Na from fluid loss due to dehydration • Example • 10 kg child with Na of 120, 10% dehydration, 20 mL/kg bolus was given • (135-120) x 0.6 x 10 kg = 90 meq Na

  46. Hyponatremic Final Answer • D5 ½ NS with 10 meq KCl @ 70 mL/hr x 24 hrs • Goal is to increase Na by no more than 0.5-1 meq/L/hr • Recheck Na frequently and adjust sodium concentration if necessary

  47. Practice Question • A 15 year old football player comes into the ER after collapsing during football practice. He is moderately dehydrated. • Na is 118 • Wt is 75 kg • No boluses are given in the ER • How much sodium does he need because he is hyponatremic, not accounting for his maintenance or dehydration?
