Comparison of Serum Sodium Levels Following Intravenous Administration of Isotonic and Hypotonic Solutions in Young Children: A Randomized Controlled Trial [PDF]
Objectives: This study evaluated changes in serum sodium (S Na) 24 h after the administration of isotonic versus hypotonic intravenous fluids (IVFs) and the incidences of dysnatremia and hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis.

From hypotonic maintenance fluid to severe hyponatremia: a case report
Background The principles for maintenance intravenous fluid prescription in children were developed in the 1950s. These guidelines based on the use of hypotonic solutions have been challenged regularly for they seem to be associated with an increased ...

Avoiding hypotonic solutions in paediatrics: Keeping our patients safe. [PDF]
A previously healthy, fully immunized, 14 kg four-year-old girl presented to the local emergency department with a seven-day history of upper respiratory tract symptoms and 24 h of fever, irritability and decreased oral intake. Her temperature on presentation was 38.9°C, heart rate 120 beats/min, respiratory rate 25 breaths/min, and blood pressure 90 ...
