You are a third year medical student on pediatrics at the Stollery Children's Hospital in Edmonton. Jessie is a 3 year old 15kg girl who has just had a tonsillectomy. Since Jessie must be NPO after the surgery, your attending asks you to calculate her maintenance fluid requirements and to write the orders.
How much maintenance fluid does Jessie require in ml/hr?
