Abstrakt: Fluids and electrolytes therapy is one of the most important and useful methods applied in the pathology of newborns and of low birth weight infants particularly. Total and extra-cellular water in the organism, expressed as percentage of body weight, gradually decrease as the gestational age increases. These dynamic changes in the quantity of water in the organism are of practical importance, as the distribution of electrolytes or drugs fluctuates along with the maturity stage of the child. After birth, administration of fluids will take into consideration: the changes in body composition; nutrition changes; the changes in the development of renal function, and the changes due to the environment and to the water requi red for growth. In this paper, we present in detail all these aspects. Finally, we approach some of the major problems of fluid therapy: extremely low birth weight infant; the newborn with: perinatal asphyxia, respiratory distress syndrome, acute renal failure; bronhopulmonary dysplasia; children with congenital heart disease; preterm newborns with patent arterial duct; gastrointestinal fluid losses; gastrointestinal tract obstructions requiring surgery.
