Fluid deresuscitation in critically ill children: comparing perspectives of intensivists and nephrologists.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Fluid accumulation, presently defined as a pathologic state of overhydration/volume overload associated with clinical impact, is common and associated with worse outcomes.
