In addition, consideration needs to be given to the unwell term or preterm neonate as the disease pathophysiology may significantly influence fluid and electrolyte requirements. Therefore, appropriate management of fluid and electrolytes must take into consideration the birth weight, gestational age and corrected age. At birth, there is an excess of extracellular fluid which decreases over the first few days after birth extracellular fluid and insensible water losses increase as weight and gestational age decrease.
