Randomized Controlled TrialWhat do Clinicians Perceive as a Successful "Trial of Fluids"?: A Secondary Assessment of a Randomized Controlled Trial.
The aim of the study was to explore physician perceptions of the amount of fluid that demonstrates a successful "trial of fluids" (adequate fluid intake) in the emergency department in children who have had insufficient fluid intake at home. ⋯ In children undergoing trial of fluids, we found that most clinicians perceived a fluid intake greater than 9 mL/kg as adequate and lower than 5 mL/kg as inadequate.
