That depends on the age and weight of the patient and their condition.
Basic maintenance rates are:
100 ml/ kg/ hr for the first 10 kg
plus 50 ml/kg/ hr for the next 10 kg
plus 25 ml/kg/ hr for every kg above 20 kg.
If the person has a fever, shock, dehydration or other factors this may need to be increased, possibly to as high a 1000 ml/ hr or more. Other factors, such as Heart disease or renal failure may make it advisable to give it more slowly.

What is peripheral blood flow?
Peripheral blood flow refers to the circulation of blood through the blood vessels outside of the heart and lungs, supplying oxygen and nutrients to the body's tissues and organs. It is regulated by mechanisms that control blood vessel diameter and blood pressure to ensure adequate oxygen delivery to all parts of the body. Disorders affecting peripheral blood flow can lead to conditions such as peripheral artery disease or Raynaud's disease.
Why velocity of flow will decrease with increase in peripheral speed of francis turbine?
the peripheral velocity of the turbine is the around velocity. the increase in the velocity of the peripheral will decrease the velocity of the flow towards the turbine
What is the indicator of peripheral blood flow?
Strength of pulses is one clinical indicator of peripheral blood flow. Another is capillary refill time.
How fast does the water in the grand canyon flow?
Canyons don't flow. Do you mean the river flowing through the canyon?
How fast should a rivers water flow?
Faster than you can swim.
How does blood viscosity affect blood flow?
Peripheral resistance
How do salicylates lower body temp?
Decreasing peripheral blood flow
What decreases peripheral resistance to blood flow?
Vasodilation and decreasing blood viscosity
Is flow of lymph through lymph nodes fast or slow compared to blood capillaries?
The flow of lymph is slow because the lymphatic system has no pump.
What would decreased peripheral resistance to blood flow?
Vasodilation and decreasing blood viscosity
How do peripheral vasodilators work?
Peripheral vasodilators work by relaxing the smooth muscle in the walls of blood vessels, which causes them to dilate and widen. This leads to a decrease in resistance to blood flow, resulting in increased blood flow to the peripheral tissues. This can help reduce high blood pressure and improve circulation.
Why is there bounding peripheral pulse in patent ductus arteriosus?
The output runoff through the PDA from the left ventricle's output to the pulmonary circulation causes a lower diastolic pressure resulting in a lower than normal pressure in diastole. This gives the feeling of a bounding pulse when the heart beats due to the increased difference between the systolic and diastolic pressure and is interpreted as a bounding pulse in the peripheral vessels.
