Fluids-Electrolytes-Acid Base Imbalance

Pediatric Fluids, Electrolytes, and Acid-Base Reference

Welcome to the comprehensive Pediatric Fluids, Electrolytes, and Acid-Base Reference guide, designed for medical students, residents, fellows, and healthcare professionals working with children. This resource provides detailed information on the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base disorders in pediatric patients.

Children have unique physiologic parameters and respond differently to fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base disturbances compared to adults. This reference tool serves as a quick access point for understanding pediatric-specific considerations, clinical features, diagnostic approaches, and evidence-based management strategies.
