A patient received cisplatin with a pre-hydration bolus of 500 mL of normal saline, followed by continuous infusion at 1 liter per 20mg/m^2. Knowing the prescribed dose of cisplatin is 40mg/m^2, what adjustment should be made to the post-hydration fluid amount so that the total (pre+during, or during+post) is the same after the cisplatin infusion?

Fluid calculation formula for cisplatin
Fluid calculation formula for cisplatin
To calculate the total fluid volume, divide the prescribed cisplatin dose (mg/m²) by 20 mg/m² (since 1 liter is needed for each 20 mg/m²) and then multiply by 1 liter. Formula: Total Fluid (L) = (Cisplatin Dose (mg/m²) / 20 mg/m²) * 1 L
Fluid volume for 75 mg/m² cisplatin
Fluid volume for 75 mg/m² cisplatin
The patient should receive 3.75 liters of fluid, calculated as follows: (75 mg/m² / 20 mg/m²) * 1 L = 3.75 L
Study Notes
- Cisplatin can cause nephrotoxicity, therefore hydration is required when treating a patient with it.
- 1 liter of hydration for each 20 mg/m² of cisplatin is required.
- A patient prescribed 75 mg/m² of cisplatin should receive 3.75 liters of fluid.
