Pediatric Fluid Resuscitation
Pediatric fluid resuscitation is the process of quickly giving fluids to children who are dehydrated or losing blood to restore proper circulation and prevent shock. It typically involves administering fluids through an IV (intravenous line) based on the child's weight and condition. The goal is to replace lost fluids and improve blood flow to vital organs like the heart, brain, and kidneys. Proper assessment and timely intervention are essential to ensure the child recovers safely without causing other complications. This treatment is crucial in emergencies such as severe dehydration, infections, or injuries.
