The Maintenance Fluids Calculator calculates maintenance fluid requirements by weight. Based on Holliday-Segar method and the 4-2-1 rule.
This calculator determines the fluid requirement that needs to be corrected in pediatric patients based on weight (because total body water relies on weight). There are two calculation methods used, the Holliday-Segar nomogram and the 4 – 2 – 1 rule.
In order to maintain homeostasis, the adult human body needs a fluid intake of 2-3 litres (25- 30ml / kg per day), allowing it to keep a balance of the nutrients, oxygen and water, which are necessary to preserve a stable healthy internal environment.
Maintenance Fluid Calculations. Determine maintenance IV fluid rates. Questions. 1. Enter Weight. About. The maintenance fluid calculator was derived in 1957 by Holliday and Segar for the pediatric population but has persisted in use for both adults and pediatric patients to date.
Maintenance Fluid Rate is calculated based on weight. 4 mL / kg / hour for the first 10kg of body mass 2 mL / kg / hour for the second 10kg of body mass (11kg - 20kg)
Results. Formulas Used: For 0 - 10 kg = weight (kg) x 100 mL/kg/day. For 10-20 kg = 1000 mL + [weight (kg) x 50 ml/kg/day] For > 20 kg = 1500 mL + [weight (kg) x 20 ml/kg/day] Note: Infusion rate = total fluid volume per day ÷ 24 hour.
