Paediatric Maintenance Fluids quizzes

Practice arithmetic only. Use the current authorised kilogram weight basis supplied for the exercise. 100-50-20 mL/kg/day is the daily Holliday–Segar maintenance method; 4-2-1 mL/kg/hr is a simplified rounded hourly shortcut based on it, so hourly ×24 does not have to equal the daily result. A full-maintenance formula result does not decide whether IV therapy is needed, choose fluid composition, create a universal restriction percentage or large-child cap, replace deficits or ongoing losses, provide resuscitation, set monitoring, or define pump precision. This MedMaths pathway is scoped to 28 days to 18 years, while neonates and important condition-specific populations need separate guidance.
