PDF202130 pages3.8 MB
This document focuses on the principles of paediatric intravenous (IV) fluid prescribing, acknowledging that children have unique fluid needs and are more susceptible to dehydration than adults. It details methods for calculating fluid deficits based on clinical assessment of dehydration percentage and weight, and explains how to determine total fluid requirements by combining maintenance fluids with deficit replacement over a 24-hour period. The guide also touches upon the recommended initial resuscitation fluids for shocked or haemodynamically compromised paediatric patients.
