DEFINITION

-IS INTRAVENOUS FLUIDS ARE USED IN A CHILD WHO CANNOT BE

FED ENTERALLY.

WHOM TO GIVE MAINTENANCE FLUIDS?

� Infants who are sick & whose oral intake is

uncertain.

� Babies who are kept NBM for the surgery, with

respiratory distress etc.

� neonates kept under radiant warmer.

WHY THE INFANTS ARE MORE

VULNERABLE?*

� Physiological inability to concentrate urine.

� Higher metabolic rate & larger surface

area.

� Can’t express thirst for more fluids.

� Larger turnover.

� Prevent ketoacidosis

� Prevent protein degradation

� Maintenance fluids consists of-

i. Water

ii. Glucose

iii. Sodium

iv. Potassium

� Advantages –

� Simplicity, long shelf life, low cost, compatibility.

� Prototypical maintenance therapy fluid doesn’t provide calcium, phosphorus,

magnesium or bicarbonate.*

CONCEPT OF MAINTENANCE OF WATER

� Crucial component of maintenance fluid

therapy.

� Maintenance water = Measurable loss of water

65% (Urine 60%, stools 5%) + Insensible of

water 35% (skin & lungs)

CONCEPT OF MAINTENANCE OF

ELECTROLYTES

� Insensible water loss contains no

electrolytes*

� So, sodium & potassium present in the urine, stools & sweat would be the amount to be replaced plus the sodium & potassium required for normal metabolism of the body.

� 3mEq of sodium in 100 cc of fluid

&

� 2mEq of potassium in 100 cc of fluid

� Maintenance fluids usually contains 5%

dextrose (5 gm/100ml) providing 17 calories/

100 ml of fluid.

� Which is approx. 20% of the daily caloric

needs.

� Prevents ketone production.

COMMONLY USED FLUIDS FOR

MAINTENANCE*

I. 0.9% Normal Saline – Think of it as ‘Salt and water’

� Principal fluid used for intravascular resuscitation and replacement of salt loss e.g diarrhoea and vomiting

� Contains: Na+ 154 mmol/l, Cl- - 154 mmol/l; K+ - Absent, But K+ is often added

� IsoOsmolar compared to normal plasma

� Distribution: Stays almost entirely in the Extracellular space

� Does not provide free water or calories. Restores NaCldeficits.

II. Lactated Ringer’’s (RL): Isotonic, 273 mOsm/L.

� Contains 130 mEq/L Na+, 109 mEq/L Cl, 28 mEq/L lactate, and 4 mEq/L K+, 3 mEq/L Ca++

� Lactate is used instead of bicarb because it's more stable in IVF during storage.

� Lactate is converted readily to bicarb by the liver.

� Has minimal effects on normal body fluid composition and pH. More closely resembles the electrolyte composition of normal blood serum.

� Does not provide calories.

MONITORING WHILE ADMINISTERING

FLUIDS*

� Child should be weighed prior to the

commencement of therapy, and daily afterwards.

� Children with ongoing dehydration/ongoing

losses may need 6 hourly weights to assess

hydration status

� All children on IV fluids should have serum

electrolytes and glucose checked before

commencing the infusion (typically when the IV

is placed) and again within 24 hours if IV

therapy is to continue.*www.Medscape.com

MONITORING WHILE ADMINISTERING

FLUIDS*

� For more unwell children, check the electrolytes and glucose 4-6 hours after commencing, and then according to results and the clinical situation but at least daily.

� Pay particular attention to the serum sodium on measures of electrolytes. If <135mmol/L (or falling significantly on repeat measures) If >145mmol/L (or rising significantly on repeat measures)

� Children on iv fluids should have a fluid balance chart documenting input, ongoing losses and urine output.

MAINTENANCE FLUIDS &

HYPONATREMIA*

� Production of ADH leading to water retention leading to water intoxication.

� Patients producing ADH due to subtle volume depletion can be safely treated with fluids containing higher sodium concentration, decrease in fluid rate or the combination of both.

� Persistent ADH production due to underlying disease requires less than total maintenance fluids

� Individualization & careful monitoring is must.

requirements, unwell children may need:

� Fluid resuscitation for shock

� Replacement of pre-existing fluid losses

� Replacement of ongoing fluid losses

REPLACEMENT FLUIDS*

� GI losses are accompanied with loss of

potassium, bicarbonate leading to

metabolic acidosis.

� Impossible to predict the loses for next 24

hrs, so measure & replace excess GI losses

as they occur.

� So each ml of the diarrheal stool or the

vomitus should be replaced by the same

amount every 1 to 6 hourly.*Nelsons Text book of pediatrics 20th edition

CASE EXAMPLE

� 5 day old baby boy weighing 3 kg having

total billirubin 18.0 is to be kept under

phototherapy. Baby having no other risk

factors & accepts DBM well.

� What fluid at what rate should we

prescribe?

26

ANSWER

� Rate Day 5 (150 ml/kg/day)

� Weight 3 kg

� So,

� 150 * 3 = 750 ml is the total maintainence.

� For the babies under phototherapy we should give half of the maintainence.

� So 375 ml/24 hrs i.e 125 ml / 8hrly

� Fluid of choice is 5% dextrose + 0.45% NS or iso P will also be suitable.

DEFICIT THERAPY

� Dehydration, most often due to gastroenteritis, is a

common problem in children.

� Most cases can be managed with oral rehydration.

Even children with mild to moderate hyponatremic

or hypernatremic dehydration can be managed with

oral rehydration.

•DEHYDRATION OCCURS WHEN YOU LOSE

MORE FLUID THAN YOU TAKE IN.

CAUSES OF DEHYDRATION

� Intense diarrhea, vomiting, fever or

excessive sweating.

� Inadequate intake of water during hot

weather or exercise also may cause

dehydration.

� Young children, older adults and people

with chronic illness are most at risk

TREATMENT DHNAssess the child for signs of dehydration and give fluids

according to Treatment Plan A, B or C as appropriate.Principle of management….. Plan A

� Give extra fluid ………ORS(two packets at home)

� Zink Supplementation

a .½ tablet for those below 6mo.

b.1 tablet for those above 6mo.

� Continue feedingBreastfeed frequently and for longer at each feed.

– If the child is exclusively breastfed, give ORS or clean water in addition to breastmilk.

– If the child is not exclusively breastfed, give one or more of the following: ORS solution, food-based fluids (such as soup, rice water, and yoghurt drinks), or clean water.

� When to return…see him/her in 2days come back immediately if the child becomes sick(unable to drink,sicker,fever,dysentery)

TAKE HOME MESSAGE

� Fluid is like “prescription” so give it with caution.

� Children are more vulnerable for rapid fluid loss.

� Maintenance calculation by “4-2-1” rule or Holliday Segar’s formula.

� Vigilant Monitoring of WEIGHT, URINE OUTPUT, SERUM SODIUM CONCENTRATION while giving fluid is must.

� As far as possible try to give maintenance fluid requirement orally.

� 0.45% DNS + 20 mEq/l KCl is ideal fluid in most of the children requiring maintenance therapy.

� Replacement of fluids should be prompt & appropriate.
