Postoperative Hydration in Children Using Intermittent Boluses of Balanced Salt Solution: Results of a Randomized Control Trial

Postoperative maintenance fluids are traditionally provided via hypotonic dextrose containing fluids administered intravenously by continuous infusion. We hypothesized that scheduled weight-based boluses of balanced salt solution would be more physiologic, reduce fluid volumes, and improve patient comfort.
