Simple Predictor of Minute Ventilation: Holliday-Segar Revisited
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Minute ventilation (MV) and calorific requirement (CR) are both functions of metabolic demand. The Holliday-Segar formula is a weight-based tool for predicting CR. This study was performed to derive an equation, based on the Holliday-Segar formula, for calculating resting MV from body-weight (BW), which is applicable for all age groups. Methods MV for BW (obtained from Radford normogram) was plotted against CR for BW (as per Holliday-Segar formula), for BWs ranging from neonates to adults. From the scatter plot thus obtained, best-fit line, with the origin as intercept, was drawn. Linear regression analysis was used to obtain R2 coefficient and P value. Results The plot of MV against CR yields a straight line passing through the origin with a slope = 46.87. R2 value is 0.98886, P < 0.001. Conclusion MV can be easily and reliably estimated for all age groups from the equation: MV (mL/min) = 47 × CR (kcal/h).

Current Thinking In Pediatric Peri-operative Fluid Therapy
Proper perioperative fluid management is critical to maintain cardiovascular stability and adequate tissue perfusion. The volume and composition of fluid should be adapting to the physiology of the child and compensating for the peri-operative events. Traditionally physicians were calculating pediatric maintenance fluid requirements based on studies conducted on healthy children more than 50 ye...

It has been more than 50 yr since the landmark article in which Holliday and Segar (Pediatrics 1957;19:823-32) proposed the rate and composition of parenteral maintenance fluids for hospitalized children. Much of our practice of fluid administration in the perioperative period is based on this article. The glucose, electrolyte, and intravascular volume requirements of the pediatric surgical pat...

Background and Objectives: Suction is a necessary and common method which aids in the release of secretion from the respiratory system for the patients who have undergone mechanical ventilation. One of the most common complications of suction is hypoxemia which causes dysrhythmia and death. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of open and closed-endotracheal suction on cardiov...
متن کاملMeasurement of a baseline minute ventilation for the calculation of minute ventilation recovery time: is a subjective method reliable?
BACKGROUND Minute ventilation recovery time is a new predictor of extubation outcome that uses a subjective method for the determination of baseline minute ventilation (V(E)) during its measurement. The purpose of the current study is to evaluate the inter-rater reliability of this subjective method for determining baseline V(E). METHODS Three critical-care physicians served as independent re...
