Fluid bolus in critically ill children is always a matter of concern and has to be balanced between benefits and harms. While optimizing pre-load is important in the golden hour period, fluid overload is a concern in ICU stay. Various dynamic parameters both clinical and device-guided assessment can help in optimizing fluid therapy.
