Slide3PRE-TEST FOR FLUID THERAPY
In the fetus and newborn,
Extracellular fluid (ECF) is smaller than Intracellular (ICF)
Postnatal diuresis causes decrease in the ICF
Both NA+ and water are predorminantly lost during postnatal diuresis
Premature babies have higher total body water/weight than term neonates.
Slide4Concerning ECF and ICF,
By one year of age, the amount of ECF and ICF are largely equal
In adulthood, ECF constitutes 10-20% while ICF constitutes 20-25%
Females have higher ICF than males
The increase in ICF is largely due to cell growth in an individual.
Slide5Concerning ECF and plasma,plasma is part of ICF
plasma volume is greater than ECFvolume
plasma water is about 10% of the body weight
blood volume is about 8% of the body weight
4.
Intestitial fluid
A
Is part of ECF
B
Is part of ICF
C
Constitutes about 13% of the total body
weight
D
Can be increased by acsitis and pleural
effusion
Slide6Based on the caloric expenditure model, each calorie expended requires provision of water in the ratio of:
2ml/1cal/day at rest
1ml/1cal/day at rest
1ml/2cal/day at rest
2ml/2cal/ady at rest
Slide7Also according to the caloric requirement, the ranges of Na+ nd K+ required is3mEq of Na+/100ml of water and 2mEqK+/100ml of water
4mEq of Na+/100ml of water and 4mEq of K+/100ml of water
1mEq of Na+/100ml of water and 1mEq of K+/100ml of water
2.5mEq of Na+/100ml of water and 2.5mEq/100ml of water
Slide8Concerning plasma and intestitial fluid,
plasma is the same as intravascular fliud
hydrostatic pressue drives fliud int the plasma from the intestitial fluid
Oncotic pressure drives fluid from the plasma to the intestitial fluid
Oncotic pressure retains fluid in the intestitial fluid
Slide9In the composition of the ECFand ICFNa and Cl are the predominant cation and inion in the ECF
K. Proteins and phosphates are the predominant cation and inion in the ECF
The amount of K in the ICF is about 10x that in the ECF
ICF fluid is governed by the balance of hydrostatic and oncotic pressures
Slide10Concerning Maintenance fluidThis is the amount of fluid and electrolytes rquired required for dly excretion of waste products
There ia a wide variation in the daily intake of electrolytes and water in childen
60% of total excreted water is lost in the urine, 35% through the lungs and skin and 5% in the stool
40% is lost in the urine 35% thfough the lungs and skin and 25% in the stool
Slide11A child of 4yrs who weighs about 16kg will require about 1.2litres of fluid/day
1.5litres of fluid/day
1.3litres of fluid/day
2litres of fluid./day
The gaols of maintenance fluid are
prevent dehydration
prevent electrolyte imbalance
prevent ketoacidosis
prevents protein degradation
Slide12Maintenance fluid should contain glucose so as to
minimize carbohydrate metabolism
5g of glucose/100ml of fluid gives about 10Cal of energy
5g of glucose /100ml gives about 17Cal/l
5g of glucose/100ml represents about 20% of the daily calorie requrement
Slide13Concerning maintenance fluid again
Children can be maintained on maintenance fluid for upto two weeks
10% dextrose is enough for the maintenance in the 1 day old newborn
The recommended fluid for a 6 and a ½ yr old child is 4.4% in 1/5 saline
The recommended for the 6 and a ½ old child is ½ saline in 5% dextrose
Slide14Maintenance fluid requirement in a newborn is
60ml/kg/day on day one
followed by 10ml/day increament
followed by 20ml/day increament
followed by 30ml/day increament
Slide15Maintenance fluid requirement in a newborn is60ml/kg/day on day one
followed by 10ml/day increament
followed by 20ml/day increament
followed by 30ml/day increament
Deficit fluid
is the fluid lost over a time
can be expressed as a % of the body weight
In GI losses, K and HCO3 are lost predominantly through diarrhoea
the most lost solute diarrhoea is Na
Slide16In assessing dehydration in a child less than 2yrsmild dehydration = 3% body weight
Moderate dehydartion= 5% body weight
Severe dehydration = 8% body weight
mild dehydration=5% body weight
Moderate dehydration= 7% body weight
Severe dehydration= 10% body weight
deficit is replaced is replaced over 1-6hours
deficit is replaced over 12hours
Slide17Dehydrationcan be isonatremic, hyponatremic and hypernatremic
The amount of Na given is 0.5Meq/L/Hr or 12mEq/L /day
in correcting dehydration, hypernatremic dehydration it is advisable to use Na free solutions
hypernatremic dehydration is corrected over 24hours
Slide18In correcting shock
0.9% saline in 5% dextrose is the fluid of choice
fluid is given over 30mins-1hr
the amount of fluid is 40ml/kg
the amount given is subtracted from the calculed fluid loss and given over the remaing hours of correction
Slide19Concerning On-going lossfluid is replaced ml for ml
about 10ml/kg/loose stool is adequate replacement fliud
the choice choice of fluid should be appropriately the maintenance fluid for the chid’s age/weight
normal can with or without K can be used
On-going loss is assessed
every 4hrs
every 8hrs
every 1hr
every 12hrs
Slide20The following considerations should be borne in mind
hyponatremia may develop anytime during the course of therapy
the electrlytes should be checked every 24hours
in elctrolyte values are abnormal they should be checked every 8hours
a reduced urine output always indicates renal failure
Slide21Oral rehydration therapy
is prefered for uncomplicated moderate dehydration
for mild dehydration, 50ml/kg over 4hours is adequate
90ml/kg for moderate dehydration over 4hours is adequate
both mild and moderate dehydration are foolowed with 100ml/kg/day
Slide22Feeding must be continued while ORT is on
ORT can be used to correct severe dehydration
The current WHO packs contain less solutes than the previous packs
ORS is contraindicated in a child with vomiting
Slide23INTRODUCTIONWater is the most plentiful constituent of the human body
Total body water varies from age to age, being highest in the youngest, with the preterm baby having the highest.
TBW is divided into ICF and ECF.
In the fetus and the newborn, ECF is larger than the ICF
The normal postnatal diuresis causes a decrease in the
ICF
Slide24Coupled with the increse in ICF due to cell growth, by one yr of life, the ratio of ICF to ECF almost equals that in adulthood where ECF constitutes 20-25% of the body weight and ICF 30-40%, close to twice the ECF volume.
With puberty, the increased muscle mass in males makes them to have higher ICF than females
There is however no significant diff in the postpubertal ECF of males and females.
The ECF is further divided into plasma water and the intestitial water. The plasma water is 5% of the body weight and with a hematrocit of 40%, blood volume is usually 8% of the body weight. This is however higher in the newborn and infact it is 10% in
preterms
Slide25The volume of plasma water is altered by pathological conditions such as dehydration, anaemia, plycythaemia, haert failure, abnormal plasma osmolality and hypoalbuminaemia.
The intestitial fluid, normaly 13% of body weight, can increase drmatically with edema, such as heart failure, protein losing enteropathy, liver failure, nephrotic syndrome and sepsis.
An increase in interstitial fluid also occurs in ascitis and pleural effusion
.
Slide26There is always a delicate equilibrum betwee the intravascular fluid (plasma) and the interstitial fluid, which is governed by the hydrstatic and oncotic pressure.While the hydrostatic pressure drives fluid from the intravascular space to the interstitial fluid, oncotic pressure prevents fluid from moving from the intravascular compactment to the interstitium
The composition of the solutes in the ICF and ECF are diff.
Na and Cl are dorminant cation and anion in the ECF respectively and are much lower in the ICF
.
Slide27K is the most abundant cation in the ICF and its ICF content is about 30% that in the ECF. Proteins, organic anions and pphosphate are the most plentifull anions in the ICFBased on the
caloric expenditure model,
each calorie expended requires provision of water in theratio of 1ml/cal metabolized/day at rest.
Also according to the caloric expenditure model, Na and K ranges/100ml of maintenance fliud is 3mEq/100ml and 2mEq/100ml
respectively.
Slide28NORMAL ELECTROLYTES IN CHILDREN
Electrolyte
composition
The concentration of the major cations and anions in the intracellular space and the plasma, expressed in mEq/L.
Slide29MAINTENANCE THERAPY
Can be given orally or intravenously for patients who cannot tolerate orally
This is the amount of fluid electrolytes required for the dialy metabolism and also corrects the fluid necessary for obligate excretion of wiaste products esp solutes (see above)
Usually there is a wide variation in the daily intake of water and electrolyes
.
Slide30Only exceptions are children who receive fixed amount of fluids such as in SIADH secretion, also children who receive f;luids via N/G tube, or as intravenous total parentheral nutrition
Maintenance fluids are most commonly necessary in preoperative and postoperative surgical patients
There are however nonsurgical conditions that require maintenance fluid calculation
Most important thing is to recognize when to commence maintenance
therapy
Slide31The goals of maintenance fluids arePrevent dehydration
Prevent
electrolyte
disorders
Prevent ketoacidosis
Prevent
protein degradation
Slide32Maintenance are generally composed of a solution of water, glucose, Na+, K+. Other electrolytes are such as Ca2=, PO4- etcAddition of glucose of a minimum of 5gm/100ml (5%dextrose, to the fluids provides about 17kcal/100 which is about 20% of the daily requirement but is enough tominimize tissue catabolism to the point that protein stores are ‘spared’ from providing substrate for gluconeogenesis.
Ketosis from fat metabolism is also prevented.(remem our
goals)
Slide33However patients will lose weight on this regimen. That is why patients are started on total parentheral nutrition just after a few days on maintenace fluids.
Also maintenance fluids lack essential requirements such as proteins, fat, vitamins and minerals.
The maintenance values are calculated as a guide based on the body weght of the child.
Slide34Body weight method for calculating maintenance is as follows:Body Weigth Fluid
per
day
0-10kg
100ml/kg
11-20kg
1,
000ml + 50ml/kg each kg >10kg
>20kg
1
, 500ml + 20ml/kg for each kg >20kg
Slide35As a guide of fluid loss from the bodyUrine accounts for 60%Insensible loss from skin and lungs accounts for 35%
Stool accounts for 5%
These are however very variable as it also depends on certain extrenous factors , such as humidity,temperature hyperventilation drugs etc

Slide38Choice of fluid(1) First-Line choice for children above 20-25kg is 0.45% saline (1/2 saline) with 5%dextrose
Consider adding KCl, up to 40mmol/L once plasma concentration is known
(2) Second-Line choice
0.9% saline(normal saline) in 5% dextrose

Slide41Neonates ,1month and <, (choice of fluid is usually 10% dextrose. K+ is usually added on day 2 especially if feeding has commenced so as to make available K+ for the newly forming cells as it is the dorminant cation intracellularly (dose 2mEq/kg/day).
Also add Na+ from day 2 at 3mEq/L

4 and >
150ml/kg
That is 30ml/kg increament /day till
day4
Slide43The reason for the daily increament sep in sick term babies is that the GFRonly improves as from day 3, and in preterms, respiratory outcome are likely to be worse if Na+ is added before naturesis which starts as from birth, and weight loss has started
.
Do not automatically add electrolytes on day 2; check the serum electrolytes
first.
Slide44NOTE: Above regimen for the neonates may be altered:(i) Gestation- very premature babies have very high insensible loss and may require higher amount of fluid
Incubator humidity is very important in these babies
(ii) Clinical state-eg edema (reduce fluids or increase more slowly), dehydratiom (may require more fluids)
Perinatal asphyxia- may need to reduce
ml/kg/day
Slide45Weight- dly weighing are required in NICU babies. Beware of increasing the fluid or consider reduction in a baby in NICU if there is weight gain in the first one week of life.
Serum sodium- the best guide to hydration in the first few days of life, especially in preterm, hypernatremia; hypernatremia indicates dehydration
Slide46RESTRIC FLUID TO 2/3RD MAINTENANCE FOR ALL CHILDREN IF BRONCHIOLITIS/PEUMONIA/MENINGITIS/ENCEPHALITIS
Slide47REPLACEMENT THERAPY
Broadly divided in two major parts: Correcting or replacing deficit, and replacing On- going loss
Deficit Therapy
GI tract is a potential losss of considerale amount of water and electrolytes and so lead to intravascular contraction and electrolyte imbalance.
GI losses are often associated with loss of K+ leading to hypokalemia. The stool also contains a heavy amount of HCO3-, so diarrhoea leads to metabolic
acidosis
Slide48In the absence of vomiting, diarrhoea or NG drainage, GI losses are usually minimal, but when ever losses occur, its usually considered eccessive and increase in the water requirement is equal to the volume lost
Because GI water and electrlyte losses can be precisely measured, it is possible to use an appropriate replacement fluid.
Deficits are usually replaced within1-6hrs, depending on the rate of loss.
Diarrhoea is a common cause of fluid loss in children and lead to dehydration
The first step in caring for a child with dehydration is to acceess the degree of dehydration clinically
.
Slide49Clinical Evaluation of Dehydration
Mild Dehydration (3-5%):
normal or increased pulse, decrease urine output, thirsty, normal physical examination.(5% for infants or<20kg and 3% for older children or >20kg
Noderate Dehydration (7-10%):
tachycardia, little or no urine output, irritable/lethargic, sunken eyes and fontanel, decreased tears, dry muccuos membranes, mild tenting of the skin, delayed capillary refill, cool and pale.
Severe Dehydration (10-15%):
rapid and weak pulse, decreased blood pressure, no urine output, very sunken eyes and fontanel, no tears, parched muccuos membranes, tenting of the skin, very delayed capillary refill, cold and mottled.
Slide50These are however estimates and infact all physical characteristics used to describe differing degrees of dehydration are really measures of the integrity or relative degree of expansion of the extracellulr fluid space.
Water deficit can be determined by subtracting the patient’s current weight from his/her weight just before dehydration
.
Slide51However it is usually determined as above by clinical criteria is a percentage estimate of the total amount of body weight lost as water.
The
amount of loss and so amount needed to replace can be calculated by multiplying the current weight(kg) by the estimated % dehydration yeilding a figure that represents the estimated water loss in litres. If the weight is expressed as grammes, the estimated water loss will be in ml. This formular takes into account that 1ml of water weighs 1gm
.
Slide52Na+ is the solute most lost in diarrhoea as its the predorminant cation in the ECFThe loss may be relatively equal (isotonic), larger (hypotonic) or smaller (hypertonic), to the loss of water from the
ECF

TOTAL
Slide55Acceptable ranges for maintenance of Na+ and K+/100ml of maintenance fliuds/day is 2.5-3mEq for Na+ and 2-3mEq for K+
Research and clinical experience provide us with data that substantiate a maximum safe rate for Na+ change (either from high to normal or low to normal). That rate of change is 0.5mEq/L/hr or 12mE/L/day.
Slide56Choice of fluidThese are actually the second line maitenance fluids. (0.9%Na+ with 5% dextrose).
The
fluids are also suitable in the following conditions
Moderate- Severe dehydration/intravascular volume depletion
Significant hyponatremia (serum Na+ <135mEq/L
Need to replace ongoing
loss
Slide57Prei-and immediate post-operative patientsCNS infections
Head injury
Bronchiolitis
Sepsis
Salt losing states
Significant hypernatremia (serum Na+>150mEq/L)
Slide58NOTEIf shock is present, administer 0.9%NaCl, 20ml/kg (10ml/kg in the setting of trauma), given over
30min-1hr.
Repeat if necessar and call for
help.
Remember to subtract any volume used to treat shock from total calculated for deficit replacement.
Hyponatremia may develop as complication of an fluid
regimen.
Symptomatic
hyponatremia
is a medical
emergency.
Slide59ONGOING LOSS
This
is replaced volume for volume (ml for ml), as this occurs in your presence. It presupposes that you have been measuring amount of fluid lost and its electrlyte contents
On-going loss is reassed every
4hrs
Fluids used should ideally reflect the electrlyte composition of the fluid being lost.
0.9% NaCl is appropriate in most cases (with or without the additon of K+)
For diarrhoeal diseases, a rough estimate of replacing on going loss is 10ml/loose stool/kg
Slide60MONITORING
Check plasma electrolytes before commencing the infusion, except prior tothe majority of elective surgery
Monitor plasma glucose if glucose-free solutions are used during surgery
Check plasma electrlyes every 24hrs whilst intravenous fluids are being administered if plasma electrlytes are abnormal, consider rechecking every 4-6hrs, but definitely if plasma Na+ <
130mE/L
Slide61Check plasma electrlytes if clinical features suggestive of hyponatremia develop; these features include nausea, vomiting, headache, irritability, altered level of consciousness, seizures and apnea
Where possible, all children on IV fluids should be weighed prior to the commencement of therapy and weighed again each day
Document accurate fluid balance daily. Assess urine output-oliguria may be due to inadequate fluid, renal failure, obstruction or the effect of ADH.
Slide62ORAL REHYDRATION THERAPY
Lancet describes it as the greatest revolution in medical history
Current UNICEF packs have lower Na+ content and are now orange flavoured. This i aimed at reducing possible increase of the diarrhoea due to osmotic drive into the GI lumen and more palatable to the
children
Slide63A simplified method for determi ng how much fluid to give would be:Mild dehydration:
50ml/kg over 4hrs followed by 100ml/kg/day until the diarrhoea subsides
Moderate dehydration:
100ml/kg given over the first 4hrs followed by 100ml/kg/day until diarrhoea subsides
Remember, FEEDING MUST CONTINUE while using ORS except of course the child has very severe and persistent emesis which will infact need IV fluids
Slide64CONCLUSION
Fluid management in children is very important and care should be taken not to cause iatrgenic problems such as hyponatremia, by giving solutions with low solutes, or not recognizing a relatively higher solute loss. One should also avoid circulatory over load. Strict imput-output chart is a sine qua non for appropriate fuild
management.
Slide65TAKE HOME POINTS
Water is the most plentiful substance in the body
It as a per centage of body weight is higher the younger the child and also higher the earlier the gestational age
At birth, the ECF is larger than the ICF but due to postnatal diuresis and cell growth, the ECF become smaller withage so that by 1yr both ECF and ICF are equal and infact ICF is almost double the ECF is adulthood
.
Slide66Na and Cl are the predominant cation and inion in the ECF while K and, phosphates and proteins are the dominant cation and inion in the ICF
Choice of maintenance fluid varies with age with 105 dextrose prefered for the 1day old newborn at 60ml/kg/day with a daily increament of 30mlkg/day to a maximum of 150ml/kg/day except in preterms. Electrolytes may be added from day 2
Maintenance fluid for infants (some say children <20kg) is ¼ saline in 5% dextrose thereafter ½ saline in 5% dextrose.
Slide67Never use electrolyte free fluids in children except in the newborns to avoid cerebral edemaCaloric expenditure model says iml of water is requierd to produce 1cal/day at rest and 3mEq of Na with 2mEq of K/100ml of water/day
Always add glucose to maintenance fluid to ‘spare’ protein and also prevent ketoacidosis
Maintenance fluid should be restricted in certain conditions especially CNS pathologies because of SIADH secretion
Na is the most lost electrolyte in any fluid loss
Slide68During GI losses, K and HCO3 are lost more from diarrhoea while Cl is lot from vomiting, leading to metabolic acidosi and alkalosis respectively
Most dehydrations are isonatremic but one should also look out for hypo- and hypernatremic dehydration
The extent of dehydration is usually calculated as a % of the body weight with higher values in infants because of their relatively higher content of water
Deficit fluid is repaced over 1-6hrs while on-going loss is assessed every 4hrs and replaced ml for ml
Slide69Shock is treated with rapid infussion of normal salin at 20ml/kg over 30mins-1hr. This is subtracted from the calculated deficit and given over the remaing period of 3to 3 and ½ hrs (if you are correcting over 4hours ) or 5 to 5 and ½ hours (if you are correcting deficit over 6hrs)
ORT is recommended for uncomplicated mild to moderate dehydration at the replacement rate of 50ml/kg for mild dehydration and 100ml/kg for moderate dehydration each given over 4hrs and maintained with 100ml/kg/day
Slide70Monitoring is very importantCheck plasma electrolytes before commencing infussions except in shock or prior to most elective surgeries
Monitor plasma glucose if glucose free solutions are used
Hyponatremia (esp iatrogenic) can occur anytime during the course of therapy so check electrlytes every 24hrs whilst IV fluids are given and if abnormal check every 4-6hrs, but definitely if seum Na <130mEq/L
Slide71Check plasma electrlytes if clinical features suggestive of hyponatremia which include nausea, vomiting, headache, irritability altered consciousness, seizures and apnoeWhere possible, all childtren on IV fluids should be weighed prior to comencement of therapy and daily till therapy is over
Document accurate fluid balancedly. Assess urine output: oliguria may be due to inadequate fluid, renal failure, obstruction or the effect of ADH secretion (SIADH).
