Pet peeve.
Tolerating PO, maintenence rates of ns are just silly in the ER. Anything under 500 ml/hr is silly. If you really think they need 125 ml an hour, I'll be happy to bring them an 8 ounce glass of water every couple of hours.
I am not refering to the dehydrated LOL with CHF. I am talking about the garden varity pt who is going to get a bunch of pointless tests and then get sent home with an ambiguous dx.
OK, I feel better.
