Abstract
AbstractIn paediatric patients fluid management has various aspects that differ from adults. One of the reasons is the different physiology of body fluids in children. Dehydration occurs commonly in children and requires resuscitation. Administration of fluid resuscitation is essential in critically ill children. Early and appropriate resuscitation improves outcomes and reduces mortality in children. In this chapter, we present an evidence-based approach for fluid management in critically ill children.
