(Redirected from D5 1/2NS)
This page is for adult patients. For pediatric patients, see: Intravenous fluid therapy (peds) or critical care quick reference for bolus doses by weight.

Total Body Water
- Total Body Water (TBW) = 0.6 x weight (kg)
- Of which, 2/3 is intracellular and 1/3 extracellular
- 1/4 of extracellular is vascular
- Of which, 2/3 is intracellular and 1/3 extracellular
Acute Repletion (Bolus)
- Typically 20-mL/kg aliquots of isotonic (e.g., NS or LR) fluid
Maintenance Fluids
- Insensible losses = 300-400 cc/m2/d
- Adult Standard: D5 0.45%NS at 75-125 mL/hr + 20meq/L of KCl
- Deficit: % dehydration x baseline weight
- Daily volume needed = maintenance + deficit - fluid already given (i.e. boluses)
- Hourly rate daily volume/24 hr
- (or correct 1/2 of deficit in first 8 hr, remainder in next 16)
- Hourly rate daily volume/24 hr
Electrolytes
- Maintenance Na = 3 mEq/kg/d; K = 2 mEq/kg/d
- Deficit = [desired - measured mEq/L] x fD x wt (kg)
- fD (distribution factor) Na = 0.6, K = 0.6, Cl = 0.2-0.3, HCO3 = 0.5
- (Maintenance + deficit)/daily volume = concentration of electrolyte in fluid to be given
- 4mL/kg of H2O lost, ups Na by 1meq
