Solutions

Expert Solution

77 lbs in weight is 34 kgs

A pediatric patient will need 20ml per kg

20- 70kgs 1500ml + 20ml per kg above 20 kg
  • 20 kg + 14 kg = 34kg
  • 1,500mL + (20mL/kg x 14 kg) = 1780mL/day
  • The required volume is 1,780 ml/day
Volume (mL)
Time (hr)
= Y (Flow Rate in mL/hr)

There are 24 hours in one day.

  • 1 day x 24 = 24 hr
1,780mL
24 hr

= 74


Answer ; 74 ml per Hour.
