Question.....you have a patient come in through the ED, very sick, and an estimated weight is given at triage. Do you wait until you have an actual weight on the patient to determine the 30ml/kg of IVF or do you use the estimated weight when the patient presents for severe or shock in the ED? If the patient presents on the floor/unit, do you take the actual weight closest to presentation time or do you still go back to the 1st actual "dry" weight? Thank you!!
