Field Change Suggestions:
How do you rehydrate children/ replace fluids?
Restore circulating blood volume if dehydration moderate-severe
  • NS 20 mL/kg bolus over 5-15 min
  • NS 60 mL/kg continuous over one hour
Replace total deficit by calculating fluid loss
  • Mild --> 50 mL/kg
  • Moderation --> 100 mL/kg
  • Severe --> 150 mL/kg
4-2-1 rule: 4 mL/kg/hr for first 10 kg, 2 mL/kg/hr for second 10 kg, and 1 mL/kg/hr thereafter.
