About

This article explains how doctors gave intravenous (IV) fluids to children in the emergency department during Hurricane Helene. The study looks at how often IV fluids were used, what types of fluids were given, and if there were any problems because of the hurricane. It also explains how hospitals managed supplies and cared for sick kids when resources were limited. The goal is to help hospitals be better prepared for future emergencies so that children can get safe and effective care even during disasters like hurricanes.
