How Do IV Fluids Play a Role in Managing Neonatal Hydration?
Intravenous (IV) fluids are often necessary for neonates who cannot maintain adequate hydration orally or via enteral feeds. The choice of IV fluid depends on the neonate's specific needs, such as the need for glucose, electrolytes, or specific medications. Commonly used IV fluids include normal saline, dextrose solutions, and balanced electrolyte solutions.
