What this calculator does
Calculates a weight-based crystalloid bolus volume selected by the clinician.
Clinical use
This calculator multiplies the selected dose by weight; it does not select the dose or determine whether a bolus is indicated.
Important limitations
Give resuscitation fluids in reassessed increments rather than relying on an unmonitored total volume.
