AB The  composition  of  body  fluids,  metabolic  requirements,  and  ability  to  adapt  to  change  differs  in  infants  and  children  compared  to  adults.  Acute  disruptions  of  fluids  and  electrolytes  or  acid-base  balance  can  be  life  threatening,  while  chronic  titubations  interfere  with  normal  growth  and  development,  particularly  of  the  brain  and  bone.
