Abstract

An adequate fluid balance in extremely low birth weight newborns is essential to reducing morbidity and mortality during the first days of life. Fluid balance management in these newborns is often confusing and time consuming. Key to this process is correctly identifying transepidermal and respiratory water losses, known as insensitive losses. The purpose of this revision is to review the main concepts in this area and synthesize the habitual formulas utilized in fluid balance management in a spreadsheet that simplifies this process and consequent prescriptions.
