Anaesthesia | Paediatrics | Calculations, Corrections and Maintenance - 1
Calculations, Corrections and Maintenance - 1
Session Overview
Description
Part 1 of this session discusses normal body fluid composition and how this changes with age and normal maintenance fluid requirements. It also looks at the diagnosis and correction of fluid deficits. Part 2 of the session looks at the diagnosis and correction of common electrolyte abnormalities.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Calculate normal maintenance fluid requirements
- Diagnose any fluid deficits
- Calculate blood volume depending on a child’s age and weight
