How is fluid rate calculated?
Maintenance Fluid Rate is calculated based on weight.
- 4 mL / kg / hour for the first 10kg of body mass.
- 2 mL / kg / hour for the second 10kg of body mass (11kg – 20kg)
- 1 mL / kg / hour for any kilogram of body mass above 20kg (> 20kg)
How do you calculate IV fluid replacement?
Deficit (mL) = weight (kg) x % dehydration x 10 In the first 24 hours replace 5% dehydration. For this infant that is 500 mL (ie 500 mL ÷ 24 = 20.5 mL/hr). Replace the remaining deficit (here another 500 mL ÷ 24 = 20.5 mL/hr) if still indicated after clinical reassessment, over the following 24 hours.

How do you calculate baseline fluid requirements?
Baseline Fluid Requirement
- For the first 10 kg of body weight: 100 mL/kg/d plus.
- For the second 10 kg of body weight: 50 mL/kg/d plus.
- For the weight above 20 kg: 20 mL/kg/d.
How do you calculate fluid intake and output?
Intake and output (I&O) is the measurement of the fluids that enter the body (intake) and the fluids that leave the body (output). The two measurements should be equal. (What goes in…. must come out!)…Conversions:
- 1 cc. = ml.
- 2 oz. = ml.
- ½ oz. = ml.
- 4 cc. = ml.
- 8 oz. = ml.
- 6 oz. = ml.
- 4 oz. = ml.
- ½ cup = oz. = ml.
