    Abstract

    The assessment and management of an infant with diarrheal dehydration can be reduced to a set of questions. As the questions are studied and answered, the clinician arrives at a rational plan for parenteral fluid therapy, based on physiologic considerations. The selection of the type of fluid to be infused uses a decision-tree algorithm, based on knowledge of the serum sodium consideration.
