Abstract

Author’s conclusions: use of isotonic intravenous fluid with a sodium concentration of 140 mmol/l had a lower risk of hiponatremia, without an increase in adverse effects, than did fluid containing 77 mmol/l of sodium. An isotonic fluid should be used as intravenous fluid for maintenance hydration in children.

Reviewers’ commentary: isotonic solutions are safer than hypotonic solutions in hospitalized children requiring IV fluids therapy in terms of avoiding hiponatremia.
