## Description

When a child comes into the clinic, the first thing you need to figure out is how much fluid they need to stay hydrated. Doing this by hand means jumping between charts and double-checking math for different weight brackets. This Connector takes that mental load off your plate. You can just tell your agent the patient's weight, and it handles the specific Holliday-Segar rules for you. It knows the 4ml/kg, 2ml/kg, and 1ml/kg tiers perfectly. It also pulls the right electrolyte concentrations based on the infant's age group. By connecting this to your workflow through the Vinkius catalog, you stop worrying about math errors and start focusing on the patient. It's about getting the right numbers the first time without having to pull out a calculator or a reference sheet every single time a new patient walks in.

## Tools

### get_electrolyte_recommendation
Provides the recommended sodium and potassium concentrations for neonatal and infant patients. It helps ensure safe electrolyte balance.

### calculate_daily_volume
Returns the total ml per 24h and the specific breakdown of the Holliday-Segar rule. This makes it easy to plan daily fluid targets.

### calculate_hourly_rate
Calculates the specific ml per hour infusion rate for a patient based on their weight. Use this to set IV pump speeds accurately.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the daily fluid volume for a child weighing 15kg.
```

**Response:** 
```
For a weight of 15kg, the total daily volume is **80ml/day**. 

This includes:
* 40ml for the first 10kg
* 20ml for the next 5kg
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the hourly infusion rate for a 25kg patient?
```

**Response:** 
```
The required hourly infusion rate for a 25kg patient is **104.17 ml/hour**.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the electrolyte recommendations for an 8kg infant?
```

**Response:** 
```
For an 8kg patient (Neonatal/Infant Tier), the recommended concentration is:

* **Sodium:** 150 mEq/L
* **Potassium:** 75 mEq/L
```

## Capabilities

### Calculate daily fluid totals
Get the total ml needed for 24 hours based on weight.

### Determine hourly infusion rates
Find out how many ml per hour a patient needs.

### Get electrolyte concentrations
Retrieve specific sodium and potassium levels for infants.

### Handle weight brackets
Automatically applies different rates for different weight segments.

### Provide distribution details
See how the daily volume is split across weight tiers.

## Use Cases

### ER Triage
A nurse enters a weight for a dehydrated 15kg child to get an immediate hydration plan using calculate_daily_volume.

### Pediatric Ward
A doctor asks for the hourly rate for a 25kg patient to update an IV pump using calculate_hourly_rate.

### Neonatal Care
A clinician checks electrolyte needs for an 8kg infant to ensure safe hydration using get_electrolyte_recommendation.

### Outpatient Planning
A pediatrician generates a 24-hour fluid schedule for a child being discharged.

## Benefits

- Eliminate manual math errors by using calculate_daily_volume to get exact 24-hour totals.
- Speed up IV setup times by getting immediate results from calculate_hourly_rate.
- Ensure patient safety with accurate electrolyte levels from get_electrolyte_recommendation.
- Save time on reference lookups because the Connector knows the Holliday-Segar weight segments by heart.
- Reduce cognitive load for clinicians by letting the agent handle the tier-based calculations.

## How It Works

The bottom line is you get accurate clinical calculations for pediatric hydration without manual math.

1. Connect the Pediatric Fluid Calculator MCP to your AI client via Vinkius.
2. Provide the patient's weight in kilograms to your agent.
3. Receive the precise daily volume, hourly rate, and electrolyte recommendations.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What is the Pediatric Fluid Calculator MCP for?**
It calculates hydration needs for children using the Holliday-Segar rule, providing daily volumes and hourly rates.

**Can the Pediatric Fluid Calculator MCP handle different weight brackets?**
Yes, it automatically applies 4ml/kg for the first 10kg, 2ml/kg for the next 10kg, and 1ml/kg for anything over 20kg.

**Does the Pediatric Fluid Calculator MCP give electrolyte info?**
It provides sodium and potassium concentrations specifically for neonatal and infant patients.

**How does the Pediatric Fluid Calculator MCP help in a busy ER?**
It lets you get precise IV infusion rates instantly by just providing the patient's weight in kilograms.

**Is the Pediatric Fluid Calculator MCP for adults?**
No, this tool is specifically designed for pediatric fluid maintenance and won't work for adult patients.

**What is the Holliday-Segar rule used for?**
It is a standard clinical method used to determine fluid requirements for children based on their weight.

**What is the Holliday-Segar rule?**
The Holliday-Segar rule is a standard clinical method used to estimate daily fluid requirements for pediatric patients by applying different fluid densities to specific weight segments.

**How do I use the `calculate_daily_volume` tool?**
Provide the patient's weight in kilograms as input. The tool will return the total volume required for a 24-hour period and a summary of how that volume was distributed across weight tiers.

**Can this tool recommend electrolyte concentrations?**
Yes, by using the `get_electrolyte_recommendation` tool with the patient's weight, you can find the recommended milliequivalents of Sodium and Potassium per liter for their specific clinical tier.
