Abstract
Fluid resuscitation after burns is very crucial to the survival and prognosis of children. Although the principles of fluid resuscitation in children are similar to those in adults, the unique physiological needs of children must be fully considered to prevent insufficient or excessive fluid resuscitation. In clinical practice, due to the popularization of various monitoring techniques, insufficient fluid resuscitation can be observed in time, but excessive fluid resuscitation is often overlooked. Excessive fluid resuscitation can lead to fluid extravasation, increasing the probability of pediatric burn complications and poor prognosis. This review focuses on the unique pathophysiological characteristics of children with burns and how to avoid excessive fluid resuscitation in order to provide reference for rational fluid rehydration.
