order, not how many calories!

Summary “maintenance fluids”

Fluid needs are linked to the metabolic rate.

Maintenance is approximately insensible

plus urine losses.

Maintenance fluids of the “average” patient

are approximately:

1st 10 kg: 100 cc / kg / day

2nd 10 kg: 50 cc / kg / day

the rest: 20 cc / kg / day

Increased INSENSIBLE Losses

Fever (each deg > 38): 12.5%

Prematurity 100-300%

Radiant warmer 50-100%

Phototherapy 25-50%

Increased activity 5-25%

Decreased INSENSIBLE Losses

Ventilation (humidified air) 25-40%

Sedation 5-25%

Decreased activity 5-25%

Hypothermia 5-15%

Enclosed Incubator 25-50%

Changes in the metabolic rate or the

environment change insensible fluid loss

Common / “Community” losses

Gastrointestinal: diarrhea, vomiting

Activity: sweating, increased ventilation, heat

Burns: (even sunburn!)

Uncommon / “Nosocomial” losses

Drainage (eg chest tube, NG tube, et cetera)

Bleeding

Pathological renal losses (eg salt wasting, diabetes)

These losses are universally hypo- or isotonic

Maintenance Fluid DOES NOT

Include Abnormal Losses

There is a large variability in the intake of Na, and to a

lesser extent K, by healthy people.

Renal ability to conserve or excrete Na is very large.

The ability to conserve or secrete K is also larger than

the average variation in intake.

Renal Tubular Acidosis

Associated with growth failure

Low anion gap metabolic acidosis

May be compensated by pulmonary hyperventilation

Urine anion gap should be positive: (Na+ + K+) > Cl-

Clinical pearls:

• Confirm metabolic acidosis with a VBG

• Distal RTA (type I) is most common

• Types I and II have hypokalemia

• Type IV has hyperkalemia (aldosterone defect)

• Can be treated with bicitra with varying success

Distal (type 1)

• Commonly associated with hypercalcURIA, stone risk

• Late nephron defect, urine pH “always” < 5.5

• Low urine citrate

• Distal RTA (type I) can associate with deafness

Proximal (type 2)

• More rare

• Often associated with Renal Fanconi Syndrome

• Lower threshold of bicarbonate reabsorption

• Urine pH depends on plasma bicarbonate, “always” > 5.5

An 8 year old boy in the 3rd grade develops secondary

nocturnal enuresis. On review of systems he has

constipation. When he was a newborn you had ordered a

spinal ultrasound and x-ray after noting a sacral dimple, and

both were normal. Urinalysis is negative for leukocyte

esterase and nitrates. The next most appropriate steps are:

A Renal and bladder ultrasound

B Spine MRI and referral to pediatric neurosurgery

C Prescribe stool softener & a regular bowel routine

D Referral to pediatric urology

E Reduce evening fluids & use a bedtime wetting alarm
