Brief Summary   This study is a unmasked randomized controlled trial comparing the safety and efficacy of reduced volume isotonic versus standard volume hypotonic maintenance fluid in sick children between 0.5 to 12 years of age to observe the incidence of hyponatraemia (serum sodium <130 mEq/l) and/or hypernatraemia (serum sodium >150 mEq/l)and variations in serum sodium, serum osmolality, weight, urine output, and final clinical outcome with the use of the two types of maintenance fluids.
