Pulzus Normal, filled pulse rapid Very rapid, easily

Turgour of the skin Normal Slightly decreased decreased
Urine Normal (> 1ml/kg/hr) small, dark (0,5 – 1,0 Very small or abscent

Potassium defficiency
20 - 40 % of the fluid loss is intracellular
K loss = 150 mmol/l × 0.2-0.4 × ffluid loss (l)
The calculation of the exact K loss is possible if the intracellular K
concentration is known.

• 3. Hypertonic
• Slow correction – danger of brain edema!!
• Decrease of Se Na = 10 mmol/l/24 h is the
goal.
• If the Se Na >180 mmol/l - dialysis
• Usually we administer physiologic saline or
Ringer lactate in nthe first hours of the
treatment.
• The frequent monitoring of the Se Na
concentration is required.
• The fluid requirement: loss + maintenace
Example
30 kg bwt
Fluid loss: 10% (moderate, severe)
Fluid requirement:
Maintenance req.: 1000ml + 10 × 50 + 10×20 =1700 ml/24h
Loss: 30000/100 × 10= 3000 ml
The half of the lost volume is administered within the first 8 hrs, the
remaining in the next 16 hrs.
The maintenace req. is distributed evenly in thje 24 hrs.
Electrolyte composition of the fluid is dependent on the type of
dehydrition.
The composition of the maintenace fluid generaly:
In 1000 ml fluid 25 –50 mEq Na, 25mEq K, 50 mEq Cl és 50 g glukóz
During the first day of the treatment of dehydration the administration of
K is not required if there is no increased potassium loss (eg: diabetic
ketoacidosis). Certainly not until normal diuresis is achieved!!
Hyprkalaemia
• Se K > 5 mmol/l
• 0,5-1,0 ml/kg 10%-os Ca-gluconicum
• 0,5-1,0 g/kg glucose solution with insulin (1 E
insulin/3 g glucose)
• 1-2 mEq/kg NaHCO3
• ß2 mimeticum
• 1 g/kg Na-polistirol-sulfate per os v enema
• Peritoneal v haemodialysis
Hypokalaemia
• Se K < 3,5 mmol/l
• Treat the cause
• Oral K supplementation in mild or chronic
situations
• Iv K supplementation in severe cases
IV K supplementation
• Stabilize the peripheral circulation, renal
function
• Correct the acidosis
• The K concentration of the Iv solution
cannot be more than 40 mmol/l and its rate
should not succeed 0,5-1,0 mmol/kg/h
Acid-base disbalance
• Necessary Na HCO3= required HCO3 – act.
