Case 5: Fluid Volume
Calculations
Ins and Outs
TID Maintenance = [(30 x 4.8) + 70] = 214
ml/day/3 = 71 mls
Maintenance = Sensible Losses (2/3) +
Insensible (1/3)
or
Ins and Outs Maintenance = Sensible Losses (Urine Volume over the past 8 hours) PLUS
Insensible Losses [(Maintenance X 0.33)/3]
Total fluid requirement for the
next 8 hours = 1/3 daily maintenance over 8
hours PLUS urine output from the last 8 hours
Urine output over the past 8 hours = 315 mls
71/3 ml + 315 ml = 24 + 315 = 339 ml (approximately 42 ml/hour)
