Inclusion Criteria  
Age From  3.00 Day(s)
Age To  28.00 Day(s)
Gender  Both 
Details  1) Neonates ≥34 weeks of gestation and more than 48 hours of age, who are admitted and anticipated to receive intravenous fluid for the next 24 to 72 hours, are considered for recruitment into the study.

2) Neonates remained eligible if they received an IV bolus of an isotonic fluid before enrolment as long as they are considered euvolemic and only required IV maintenance fluids with no additional rehydration after enrolment.

 
 
ExclusionCriteria 
Details  1. Neonates ≥34 weeks of gestation and more than 48 hours of age without parental consent.
2. Neonates with hyponatremia (serum sodium <135mEq/L) and hypernatremia (serum sodium >145 mEq/L) at the start of study.
3. Neonates who are on medications that affect the sodium homeostasis.
4. Neonates with acute kidney injury at the start of the study.
5. The patients of those neonatologists who are not consenting to be included in the study will be excluded.

Brief Summary   This study is a double blinded randomized controlled trial comparing the safety and efficacy of isotonic versus standard hypotonic maintenance fluid in neonates more than or equal to 34 weeks of gestation at birth who are more than 48 hours of life to observe the incidence of hyponatremia and/ or hypernatremia and variations in serum sodium ,serum osmolality , weight , urine output , final clinical outcome with the use of two types of maintenance fluids.
