Hello,

I have a couple of questions about Fluids:


[]  My understanding is there is a requirement for the rate (or duration) of 
fluid administration to be present in the order in order to be counted against 
the 30 ml/kg volume.  I think I've heard others say, however, that if there is 
clear documentation of the actual rate of administration (for example, in 
nursing documentation such as a MAR or a flowsheet), then this is not required. 
Does anybody know for sure?


[] I understand that plasmaLyte can not be counted against the 30ml/kg volume 
(though Lactated Ringers can).  Is anybody aware of a rationale for this?


Thank you,


Joe
