Clarke’s rule Child’s dose = Body wt.( lb ) *adult dose 150 Child’s dose = Body wt .(kg) *adult dose 70 # 1kg= 2.2 lb B. Dose calculation related to body weight
Child’s dose = Child’s BSA *adult dose 150 BSA= body surface area C. Dose calculation related to body surface area
0-10 kg = wt.(kg)*100 ml/kg/day 10-20 kg = 1000ml+ [wt.(kg)*50 ml/kg/day > 20 kg = 1500ml + [wt.(kg )*20 ml/kg/day Fluid Requirement for pediatric
Drops/min = total volume [ml] * drop factor total time[min] Drop factor Micro drip delivers 20 drops/min Macro drip delivers 60 drops/min Drip calculation
