Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The preterm baby, although less able to tolerate high fluid and solute loads, has a remarkable ability to adapt to a rather broad range of environmental challenges, and thus renal function in the preterm infant should no longer be considered impaired. Lower rather than higher fluid administration is the current trend in neonatal care because it is safer and more physiologic. Although changes in body weight over time provide a good indicator of water balance, determination of plasma and urine electrolytes and tonicity are also essential in the monitoring of fluid therapy in preterm infants. |
