We encountered a glitch with the calculation in the electronic system when using 30mL/kg that resulted in an inadequate fluid bolus and resulted in an OFI. Subsequently, we changed our organizational process to make the calc 31mL/kg for the fluid bolus.

For example pt weighs 107 kg which requires 3210ml. Pt only receives 3000. Does this become an opportunity for improvement? Clinically I doubt an extra 210 ml would have made an impact on the patients hemodynamics. Thanks for your feedback.
