OVERVIEW OF FLUIDS, ELECTROLYTES, AND NUTRITION IN PEDIATRICS
1. FLUID REQUIREMENTS
+ Daily requirementsare higher than adults due to higher insensible losses and limited ability of the
immature kidneys to concentrate urine
+ Total body water is a higher percentage of body weight (80%) than in adults (60%)
+ Total blood volume in a newborn is about 8% of body weight, which becomes similar to adults (5%)
in older children
+ Urine output should be between 1-2 mL/kg/hour
Il, ELECTROLYTES
*Childrenless than 6 months old should be given 10% dextrose in 0.2596 saline with potassium
chloride, 20 mEq/L
+ Children older than 6 months should be given 5% dextrose in 0.45% saline with potassium chloride,
20 mEq/L.
+ Daily sodium requirements are 2-3 mEq/kg and daily potassium requirements are 1-2 mEq/kg,

stIll. NUTRITION
+ Carbohydrates should supply 40 t0 45%, lipids 35%, and protein 15% of total calories inthe diet
+ Enteral nutrition is the preferred method for delivering calories to.a child
+ The normal daily caloric and protein needs in children is shown in the table below:

IV. PREOPERATIVE PREPARATION
‘= Preoperative antibiotic prophylanis is indicated for children with cardiac anomalies,
ventriculoperitoneal shunts, and implanted prosthetic device
‘* Most common regimen: ampicillin (50 mg/kg) and gentamicin (1.5 mg/kg) given 60 minutes before
and 6 hours after the procedure

5181. PECULIARITIES OF THE INFANT RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
~ Obligate nasal breathing
Dependence on diaphragm motion
+ Liability to return to fetal circulation inthe face of elevated pulmonary vascular resistance
+ Greater sensitivity to thoracic pressure changes because ofa mobile mediastinum
+ Susceptibility tosevere CNS damage withrelative hypoxia
+ Retrolental fibroplasia with oxygen toxicity

ANTERIOR ABDOMINAL WALL DEFECTS
1. OVERVIEW OF COMMON DEFECTS
+ Gastroschisis: abdominal wall defect whereinthe bowelsare located outside the body via the defect,
+ Omphalocoele: abdominal wall defect in which intestines, ver, and other organs are located outside
the body via the defect
+ Bladder exstrophy: protrusion of the urinary bladder through an abdominal wall defect,
