AB The  most  common  disorder  of  fluid  balance  in  children  requiring  emergency  care  is  dehydration.  Dehydration  is  the  result  of  a  negative  fluid  balance  that  can  result  from  decreased  fluid  intake  (mouth  or  throat  disorders,  systemic  illness,  neurologic  illness,  and  other  causes);  increased  output  (vomiting,  diarrhea,  fever,  environmental  heat,  respiratory  illness,  renal  losses  and  other  causes);  or  fluid  shifts  in  conditions  such  as  burns  and  sepsis.
