Pediatric Dehydration and Fluid Deficit Calculator
Pediatric Dehydration and Fluid Deficit: a planned Super Calculator tool. Stub page: the tool, its formula and a worked example are not published yet.
Pediatric Dehydration and Fluid Deficit Calculator is a planned calculator in the health section of Super Calculator, covering reproductive and pediatric.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: weight (kg), percentage dehydration or weight loss, sodium and ongoing losses.
Outputs: fluid deficit (mL), maintenance rate and total replacement schedule.
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: Fluid deficit in mL = percentage dehydration * pre-illness weight in kg * 10, added to Holliday-Segar maintenance and to ongoing losses, with the replacement schedule depending on whether the dehydration is isotonic, hypotonic or hypertonic.
