NICE IV fluid therapy in children and young people in hospital quality standard

This quality standard covers the management of intravenous (IV) fluids in term neonates (babies born at term or born prematurely with a corrected age of term or more), children and young people under 16 years. It covers IV fluids used for a range of conditions and in different hospital settings. It does not cover term neonates, children and young people with condition-specific IV fluid needs, because they are under the care of specialists due to their specific needs.
