What is the appropriate intravenous maintenance fluid for a 16 kg girl?
43 ml/hr of normal saline
78 ml/hr of ¼ normal saline
69 ml/hr of ½ normal saline
54 ml/hr of ¼ normal saline
Correct Answer :
D. 54 ml/hr of ¼ normal saline
maintenance fluid is ¼ NS computed as follows; 100 ml for every kg for the first 10 kg of the child weight, then 50 ml for every kg for the second 10 kg of the child weight, and then 20 ml for every kg for the third 10 kg of the child weight. For this girl the sum up for 24 hr is 1300 ml which equals to 54 ml/hr.
