GIR 6-8mcg/kg/min caloric intake
D10 Bolus 2mL/kg
Fluid Volume Bolus 10mL/kg
Term Parenteral Fluid Requirement 80mL/kg/day
Enteral 100-150 mlk/kg/day
Preterm Parenteral Fluid 120
Requirement Enteral 150-200ml/kig/day
GIR Calculation (%dextrose x IV rate) / (6 x wt in kg)
,I/T ratio %Metas + Bands / %Metas + Bands + Segs
I/T ratio greater than >0.2 to >.25 suggestive of
infection
>0.8 associated with shock
Absolute Neutrophil COUNT WBC x (%) Segmented neutrophils + band
neutrophils + metamyelocytes
Example. 15,000 x 35 segs + 15 bands + 3 metas
(turns into percent)
15,000 x .53 = 7950
ANC <1800 suggestive of infection
Normal Range
Mature WBCs Poly, Segs, Neutrophils
Immature WBCs Meta, Bands, Stabs
Platelet Range 150-400k
Thrombocytopenia (< 100,000/mm 3 ): possible
association with bacterial sepsis or viral infection,
but usual onset does not occur until 1 to 3 days
after infection onset (late indicator). May also
occur with maternal HELLP syndrome ( h
emolysis, e levated l iver function test results, and
l ow p latelet count), pregnancy-induced
hypertension, and intrauterine growth restriction,
as well as some syndromes such as trisomies 13,
18, and 21, Turner's syndrome, and hemolytic
disease.
, CRP level CRP level usually <1.6 for the first two days of life
Elevated cord blood CRP levels are associated
with chorioamnionitis with prolonged rupture of
membranes.
Most common pathogens Currently, GBS
E. coli
Candidas -Diaper dermatitis presents with intense
erythema and satellite lesions.
-Congenital candidiasis presents with widespread
erythematous maculopapular rash, and preterm
infants may present with pneumonia.
Congenital CMV infection congenital infection include: intrauterine growth
restriction, hepatosplenomegaly, jaundice,
purpura, pneumonitis, microcephaly,
hydrocephalus, intracerebral calcifications,
hearing loss, chorioretinitis, and optic atrophy.
Endotracheal Measurement 6 + wt in kg
Proper placement on an endotracheal tube is
midway between the thoracic inlet and the carina.
