Factors in Pediatric Isotonic Fluid Resuscitation Efficiency
Our results support use of 30 and 60 mL syringes for the purposes of rapid pediatric fluid resuscitation when the 'disconnect-reconnect' technique is utilized. Further studies are needed to evaluate the comparative efficiency of other fluid resuscitation techniques, the potential problem of provider fatigability, and how fluid resuscitation is best performed in the context of multi-provider teams. An improved body of evidence should assist with generating clear best practice recommendations as to how pediatric fluid resuscitation is best performed.
