Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
a.Acid base imbalance and occurrence of hyperchloremia.- pH and base excess will be measured. Normal pH range will be taken as 7.35-7.45 and normal base excess for infants will be -7 to -1, for children it will be -4 to +2. Normal serum chloride levels as per lab of the study hospital. b.Sodium and potassium disturbance – Hypernatremia is defined by serum sodium concentration more than 145meq/l and hyponatremia by serum sodium concentration 135meq/l. Timepoint: At baseline, 12 hours, 24 hours thereafter as when required till 72 hours

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.Incidence of Acute kidney injury- Acute kidney injury is defined by KDIGO criteria 2.Coagulopathy- PT, APTT, INR will be measured and assessed by standard lab values. 3.Duration of PICU and hospital stay: will be calculated in days. Timepoint: At admission, at 12 hours,24 hours
