Hidden sources of fluid and sodium intake in ill newborns.
Fluids used for flushing arterial catheters, bronchial lavage, and drug administration are not normally considered when assessing daily fluid intake, yet infants weighing less than 1000 g at birth gained up to 12 ml/kg/day of extra fluid and 2.4 mmol/kg/day (mean) of extra sodium from these hidden sources.
