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.

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.
