Fluid Management

Tools for dehydration, maintenance, and fluid shifts.

Clinical Overview

Precise fluid management is essential for preventing electrolyte derangements and maintaining end-organ perfusion. These tools assist in comprehensive volume status assessment and replacement planning.

Common Use Cases

  • Burn fluid resuscitation
  • Maintenance hydration planning
  • Dehydration deficit calculation

Clinical Pearls

Fluid Deficit Replacement

Generally, fluid deficits should be replaced slowly over 24-48 hours. A common approach is giving half the deficit in the first 8 hours, and the remainder over the next 16 hours.
