Fluid management is crucial in inpatient medical settings, where each patient presents unique and individual requirements. Hospitalized patients often suffer from conditions that hinder their capacity to regulate their hydration status. Improper fluid management can cause significant morbidity and mortality from volume depletion or overload. Therefore, it is essential to carefully assess the specific type and quantity of fluids required for each patient. Maintenance fluids address the patient’s physiological needs, accounting for sensible and insensible fluid losses. This activity reviews the assessment of patients’ volume status, the selection of intravenous solutions, and potential complications associated with fluid management in hospitalized patients. This activity also highlights the crucial role of the interprofessional healthcare team in managing patients’ volume status, optimizing patient outcomes and reducing morbidity and mortality.
