Posted February 19, 201410 yr Bdp and ductus treatment include fluid restricción. 110-130 ml/ kg/ d. The question is: oral or ev? Does anybody use 2/3 of oral liquid??
February 20, 201410 yr We add fluid restriction (not always, but usually) as one "treatment modality" for infants BPD or PDA. But we do not go as far as to 110-130, but reduce less dramatic to 160 ml/kg/d.Even at that level we usually need to boost up the breastmilk-fortifications to maintain adequate nutrition.
February 20, 201410 yr Thank you very much. But when you said 160 ml/kg/d is your total aport? do you considerer that enteral feeding has an absortion of 2/3?. If so, you have to feed with 160 ml/kg/d + ++, I usually use 160 ml/kg/d. But we have disapointment, another collegue think we have to give more liquid, and calculate that baby will only gets the 2/3 of this. Thank you
February 21, 201410 yr We refer to the actual volume going in (iv or po), i.e. 160 ml/kg/d is the total volume given (iv or po) and not the estimated volume absorbed.
