AB The  ultimate  goal  of  fluid  and  electrolyte  therapy  is  to  maintain  a  balance  between  the  intracellular  and  extracellular  compartments.  This  means  that  often,  in  caring  for  the  critically  ill  patient,  fluid  replacement  and  electrolyte  balance  become  an  afterthought  of  therapy  instead  of  a  goal.  However,  maintaining  this  balance  is  essential  for  an  optimal  outcome.1
