Remarks

Note: D5W 1/4 NS is also an acceptable fluid choice and has traditionally been used for pediatric maintenance fluid therapy. We are recommending D5W 1/2 NS because there has been much concern over the use of hypotonic fluids and developement of hyponatremia in hospitalized patients. One must always follow the sodium concentration in these patients, especially if they are at risk (see example below) for non-osmotic secretion of Anti-diuretic Hormone (ADH).
Example: CNS infections, significant volume loss, drugs, and metobolic and endocrine disorders such as hypoadrenalism, and particularly the postoperative state.
