Pediatric intensivist Dr. Will Cagle joins the show to discuss the AAP Maintenance IV fluid guidelines and considerations when choosing IV fluids for pediatric inpatients.
What do you need to know from the 2018 AAP maintenance IV fluid guideline?
How common is hyponatremia in hospitalized patients and why does it matter to your practice?
What is SIADH and how does it contribute to hyponatremia in acutely ill children?
How can we prevent hyponatremia in our hospitalized patients?
What are the differences between hypotonic and isotonic fluids?
What are balanced solutions and why might they be preferred as compared to saline in some clinical settings?
All of this and more from the Department of Pediatrics and the Medical College of Georgia.
