fluid loss should be replaced by fluids with a similar electrolyte content to the lost fluid. Types of fluid lost and what they should be replaced with include: The type of fluid replacement depends on the type of fluid lost i.e.Ongoing losses (replace future losses as they occur) Pre-existing fluid deficit (replace STAT) The type and rate of maintenance fluids (if needed) are based on the patient’s fluid and electrolyte requirements (dependent on their weight).The type and rate of replacement fluids are based on the type and quantity of fluid lost.You should be clear what type of fluid, and how much of each type, you are giving for each component of the formula and why.However, you should think about replacement and maintenance separately because the types and volumes of the fluids required will be different for each component.Prescribing fluids is not an exact science – most of the time it is the best guess for the patient’s weight/approximate quantity of lost fluid.Overall fluid requirements = replacement of fluid loss + maintenance fluids.It should be read with examination of fluid status and types of iv fluid pages
