In a PICU setting, sodium can come from various sources (resuscitation fluids, IV drugs and infusions, enteral feed), not just the maintenance fluids we prescribe. There is growing interest in giving no maintenance fluid and using the input from drug infusions and resuscitative boluses only. Most drugs are chosen to be dissolved in 0.9%
