How is Fluid Management Adjusted for Ill or Premature Infants?
Ill or premature infants often require tailored fluid management strategies. For example: 1. Premature infants: Due to their higher insensible water losses and immature renal function, they often need more fluids initially, with careful monitoring and adjustments. 2. Infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS): May require careful fluid restriction to avoid exacerbating pulmonary edema. 3. Neonates with renal impairment: Require close monitoring and adjustment of fluid and electrolyte administration.
