SFNM NE Series: Fluid management, electrolytes imbalance and renal management in neonates with neonatal encephalopathy treated with hypothermia

Practice Points: 

• Fluid and electrolytes management should be individualized to patients’ needs.

• Initial fluid intake of 60–70 ml/kg/d on the first day of life may be considered for infants with NE.

• Systemic restriction of fluids and sodium should be avoided.

• Individualizing the approach based on daily monitoring of fluid and electrolytes at least through the cooling period should be performed.
