Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
General fluid therapy is primarily used for children with dehydration and those requiring intravenous nutrition. Fluid replacement for dehydration mainly consists of three aspects: cumulative loss, ongoing loss, and physiological needs. In summary, it is necessary to follow three principles (quantitative, qualitative, and rate-specific), three priorities (salt before sugar, fast before slow, concentrated before diluted), and two supplements (potassium supplementation when urine is present, calcium supplementation during convulsions).
