Total Fluid
Add every running fluid as a rate in mL/hr to get total intake in mL/kg/day, then use the rate → volume table to translate a target mL/kg/day into the volume to run hourly or per feed at q2h, q3h, q4h, and q12h. Weight is shared with the GIR and TPN calculators.
Enter the infant's weight and each running fluid as a rate in mL/hr. Educational tool — verify orders with pharmacy.

Frequently asked questions
How is total fluid intake computed?
Total intake (mL/kg/day) = (sum of all fluid rates in mL/hr × 24) ÷ weight in kilograms.
What does the rate table show?
For a target mL/kg/day, the volume to run per hour or per administration at q2h, q3h, q4h, and q12h for the entered weight.
