Abstract

Intravenous fluid therapy is often prescribed in pediatrics. It can effectively cure children who are dehydrated and/or suffer from poor oral intake. But inappropriate fluids could lead to adverse outcomes, because fluids are directly administered into patients’vessels without the patient being able to adjust it. Clinicians should continually assess the patients’ state, e.g. severity of dehydration, improvement in oral intake, body temperature, etc. and correct prescription of intravenous fluid therapy.
