This dosing tool is intended to assist with calculation, not to provide comprehensive or definitive drug information. Always double-check dosing of any drug and consult a pharmacist when necessary.
Use in patients undergoing surgery who weigh ≥20 kg and do not have conditions that could otherwise result in fluid overload such as heart failure, COPD, or kidney failure on dialysis. This calculator provides a base hourly fluid requirement, fluid deficit, and hour-by-hour fluid requirement based on surgical needs.
