Definition :
Dehydration means loss of water &
electrolytes from ECF ; The ICF may be
secondarily affected.
The fluid deficit is:
the percentage of dehydration
multiplied by the patient’s weight
(for a 10-kg child, 10% of 10 kg = 1 L
deficit).
MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS:
Maintenance requirements constitute the
amount of water and electrolytes
lost during basal metabolism. Metabolism
creates two byproducts, heat and solute, that
must be eliminated to maintain homeostasis.
The metabolic rate per kg body weight
declines with age; an infant generates
significantly more solute and heat per kg
than a child or an adolescent
