Hypertonic Saline for Other
Pediatric weight-based dosing has a median of 3 mL/kg across 11 published protocols, with the middle half between 2.5 and 3.5.
Includes 1 agency outside the US.
Doses far off from what other protocols give are likely misreads, so they are left out until checked. How that works.
Pediatric, weight-basedmL/kg
| min | p25 | median | p75 | max |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2.5 | 3 | 3.5 | 5 |
Values in mL/kg. One value per source (that source's median), so a document listing a medication five times still gets one vote.
