28 lut 2023 · Administration of fluid resuscitation is essential in critically ill children. Fluid management is critical when providing acute care in the emergency department or hospitalized children. Early and appropriate fluid administration improves outcomes and reduces mortality in children.
14 lip 2023 · Maintenance fluid requirements are higher in children compared to adults. Higher body surface area-to-weight ratios and faster respiratory rates in children compared to adults contribute to higher insensible water losses . Fluid requirements may be calculated based on weight as proposed by the Holliday and Segar method (Table 3) . Of note, some ...
25 lip 2023 · Insensible fluid loss is routinely a cause of concern when evaluating patients. Patients may exhibit nonspecific and specific signs on exams such as dry mucous membranes, poor skin turgor, poor capillary refill, tachycardia, and dyspnea.
5 wrz 2020 · Daily fluid balance was 417 ± 221 ml (64 ± 30 ml/kg/day) and was associated with total sodium intake (r2 = 0.49, p < 0.001). Critically ill children are exposed, especially in the acute phase, to extremely high loads of water, sodium and chloride, possibly contributing to edema development.
10 sty 2020 · Insensible water loss represents about a third of the total daily maintenance fluid requirements. This loss occurs by evaporation through the skin and the lungs. A febrile child loses an additional 10–15% per one degree centigrade rise in temperature above 38° centigrade through this means (Greenbaum 2010b ).
1 paź 1982 · Rutter and Hull64 found that in babies of less than 30 weeks’ gestation and less than 7 days of age the rate of water loss from the skin of the abdomen was much higher, and the rate of water loss from the skin on the face and scalp was much lower, than the remaining areas of skin.
This article describes the physical processes involved in insensible water loss, methods that have been used to estimate insensible water loss or its components, trans-epidermal water loss and respiratory water loss, the major sources of variation in estimations of insensible water loss in newborn infants, the results of these estimations, and ...
