No single rate of administration or composition of maintenance intravenous fluids is appropriate in all circumstances. Thus, intravenous fluids may be viewed as medications that require careful dose adjustment that is specific to the disease state of each patient.
The moral of the story: 1  If you are correcting only dehydration (as when giving a bolus in the ER), use 0.9% saline. 2  If you are correcting dehydration and providing maintenance fluids at the same time, add both volumes and use D5 0.45% saline.  If you are providing maintenance fluid only, use D5 .18% saline.
