3. A vector borne disease.
The most rapidly spreading mosquito-
borne viral disease in the world.
A notificable disease in Sri Lanka
4. World situation
last 50 years, 30 fold rise
2.5 billion or 40% of the world, live in
dengue endemic countries.
WHO (2009).Dengue: guidelines for diagnosis, treatment, prevention and
control -- New edition
5. Yearly 50 to 100 million infections
500,000 DHF cases
22,000 deaths, mostly among children.
30. Management as out patients
Oral fluid (maintainance)
Eg:-oral rehydration fluid,
king coconut juice, fruit juices….etc
Except plain water and red and brown drinks
Rest & tepid sponging
38. Adequate fluid intake
Total fluid requirement degree of dehydration
(oral + IV)
Maintenance volume
Infants <6 months – 5% dextrose in N/2
Others – normal saline
39. Adequate physical rest
Paracetamol 10-15mg/kg/dose
(max 60mg/kg/day)
NO all NAIDSs & STEROIDS
Monitoring - ( Annexure iii) in the dengue
guideline
40.
41. Seen only in DHF
late febrile phase;
3rd day to 7th day of illness up.
Rapid drop in temperature
Lasts for 24 – 48 hours
DHF is a very dynamic disease.
43. Leak starts slowly, increases gradually,
peak around 24 hours, slows down and
ceases around 48 hours.

44. Until the very last stage of shock; patient can
appear conscious & very alert
If Pulse Rate & Blood pressure NOT measured,
early shock could be missed.
47. 2. Objective evidence detected radiologically
Pleural effusion USS chest
Chest X-ray Right
Lateral decubitus
Ascites : USS abdomen
48. 3. Biochemical parameters
Serum albumin < 3.5g/dl or
dropped by 0.5g/dl
Serum cholesterol <100mg/dl or
dropped by 20mg/dl
( NON fasting )

53. Calculation of the fluid quota (oral+IV)
Max fluid intake during ENTIRE critical phase
[Irrespective of its length]
Maintenance + 5% deficit
54. Maintenance = 100ml/kg for 1st 10kg
+ 50ml/kg for next 10kg
+ 20ml/kg for the balance weight
5% deficit = 50ml/kg x body weight (kg)
55. Ideal body weight
Weight for height [ BEST ]
Weight for age
BUT
Actual body weight is taken for the
calculations,
if the actual weight < ideal weight
Growth chart –
50th centile
57. IV fluids
N/2 +5% dextrose < 6 months infants
N saline + 5% dextrose > 6 months; who is
not taking orally for prolonged
[ 50ml of 50% dextrose + 450ml N saline ]
58. A patient without shock
IV normal saline/ Hartmann’s solution –
largest possible size for the age. + oral
fluids
59. Initially; oral +IV = 1.5ml/kg/hr
Who can drink well = 0.5ml/kg/hr
Pulse, BP, Pulse pressure, CRFT,HCT &
UOP
60. UOP calculation
Hourly UOP ; Best guide for the rate of
infusion
0.5-1.0ml/kg/hr sufficient
IF
UOP >1.0 – too high infusion rates
UOP <0.5 – inadequate fluids
61.
62. A patient with shock
Symptoms
• Sweating
• Abdominal pain
• Restlessness
• Altered conscious level
69. Lasts for 2-5 days
Reabsorption of the extravasated fluid.
Complications
Fluid overload
Hypocalaemia
Nosocomial infections
70.
71.
72.
73. No fever 24hrs, without antipyretics
At least 2 days after recovery from shock
Generally good & Increasing apetite
Normal HCT for age..
[baseline around 38-40% when not known]
74. No distress from pleural effusion or ascitis
Rising platelet count & >50,000/mm3
No other complication
81. Use Packed Red Cells
5ml/kg once
5ml/kg of PRC HCT by 5 points
(eg:- 30 to 35)
If HCT > 45%, blood given only after
reducing HCT by a colloid.
82. Hypocalcaemia
Mostly with ‘’convulsions’’
Measure serum Ca2+ levels
Give calcium if complicated
1ml/kg of 10% Ca Gluconate,(max 10ml)
Slow IV bolus over 15-20 mins
Diluted in equal volume of NS
Repeat 6 hourly
83. Hypoglycaemia
Prevented by NS with 5% Dextrose
•Dextrose saline (0.9% NaCl with 5%
Dextrose)
•Add 50ml 50% Dextrose to 450ml of
0.9% NaCl
85. Hyponatraemia
Mainly due to Hyponatraemic fluids
N/2 NaCl, N/5 NaCl, Water
3% NaCl is 3-5ml/kg
Slow IV
Through a larger vein; mostly a central vein
90. Consider each patient as a dengue patient,
as its presentation is changed.
Avoid all NSAIDs & steroids.
Correct diagnosis during early febrile phase
improves the prognosis.
91. Identifying the beginning & the end of the
critical phase is a key factor in guiding fluid
therapy in DHF.
Correct fluid management during the critical
phase is the most important.
Pulse pressure, HR, HCT & UOP
Be concern about the possible complications.
