Lactated Ringer's is often used in pediatric patients for several reasons: - Fluid Resuscitation: It is frequently used to treat dehydration, especially in cases of severe dehydration due to conditions like gastroenteritis or diarrhea. - Surgical Procedures: LR is the fluid of choice for many surgical procedures, helping to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance during and after surgery. - Shock Management: In cases of sepsis or hypovolemic shock, LR can help quickly restore circulatory volume and improve perfusion.
