AB One  of  the  very  first  issues  that  must  be  dealt  with  when  a  newborn  infant  is  admitted  to  intensive  care  is  that  of  fluid  management.  The  vast  majority  of  newborn  intensive  care  unit  (NICU)  patients  will  need  intravenous  (IV)  fluids  initially,  and  certainly  almost  all  very  low  birth  weight  (VLBW)  ones  will.  Thus,  the  question  of  how  much  fluid  a  baby  needs  must  be  answered  on  the  admission  orders  for  most  NICU  patients.
