EQUATIONS

Metabolic

Anion Gap: Na – (Cl + Bicarb)

Delta/Delta = (actual anion gap – normal gap)/(normal HCO3 – actual HCO3)

Total body water (TBW) = weight (kg) × 0.6 (use 0.5 if female/elderly, 0.6 for infants)

Corrected Na = measured Na + [2.4 × (measured glucose –100)]

Calculated osmoles = (2 × Na) + (glucose/18) + (BUN/2.8) + (EtOH/4.6)

Osmolal gap = measured osmoles – calculated osmoles (nl)

Estimated Cr clearance =

Pediatric fluid maintenance (4-2-1 Rule):

(4 cc/kg for 1st 10 kg) + (2 cc/kg for 2nd 10 kg) + (1 cc/kg for remainder kg)

Hyponatremia:

Rate of infusion (mL/h) =

Hypernatremia:

Free water deficit = total body water × [(140/serum Na) – 1]

Δ[Na]/liter infusate =

Total infusion (L) =

Rate of infusion (mL/h) = total infusion (mL)/24 h

CARDIAC

A-a gradient = PAO2 – PaO2 (nl ≈ 4 + (age/4))

Stroke volume = cardiac output/heart rate

Mean arterial pressure =
