Pedfluid

PedFluid calculates intravenous fluid management for paediatric dehydration in primary care.

Enter age, weight, degree of dehydration and shock status. PedFluid returns the maintenance rate, the deficit correction rate and the volumes behind them — as numbers you can read at a glance and act on.

BUILT FOR THE WARD, NOT THE DESK
• Works completely offline — no connection needed at any point
• The infusion rate is the largest thing on screen
• Switch the correction period between 6, 12 and 24 hours; the rate updates instantly
• Share a calculated regime with a colleague

WHAT IT CALCULATES
• Maintenance fluid — Holliday-Segar
• Deficit correction — weight × % dehydration, over your chosen period
• Shock boluses, including the reduced dose for cardiac patients
• Oral rehydration volumes (ORS)
• Age-based reference vital signs — SBP, heart rate, respiratory rate
• Dehydration classification, with Plan A / Plan B guidance

SAFETY
• Weight is bounded and checked against expected weight-for-age. Values well outside the expected range must be explicitly confirmed before any result is produced.
• Neonates under 1 month are out of scope, and the app says so rather than guessing.
• Every result carries the cautions that apply — cardiac and renal disease, severe malnutrition, hypernatraemia, symptomatic hyponatraemia.

PRIVACY
No account. No analytics. No tracking. Nothing you enter is stored or transmitted — every calculation runs on your device and is discarded when you close the app.

FOR QUALIFIED HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS
PedFluid is a decision-support tool for clinicians. It does not replace clinical judgement. Verify every calculation against local protocol and the patient in front of you before administering fluids.

Calculations follow Paediatric Protocols for Malaysian Hospitals, 5th Edition.
