Research recommendations coming out of this guidance Complications of IV fluid therapy:- What is the incidence of complications during, and as a consequence of, IV fluid therapy in children and young people? Glucose concentration:- What is the most appropriate glucose concentration in IV fluids for children and young people of different ages? Fluid balance charts:- For children and young people receiving IV fluids, does the use of a standardised national fluid balance chart reduce the rate of complications arising as a result of prescription and/or administration errors? Training and education of healthcare professionals:- Does ensuring that all hospital healthcare professionals involved in prescribing and delivering IV fluids for children and young people are appropriately trained in the principles of fluid prescribing and IV fluid therapy-related complications lead to a reduction in IV fluid-related complications and associated healthcare costs?
