Abstract
Perioperative fluid management has changed considerably in the last few years in light of new evidence based medicine.

Likewise nationally in Pakistan, there is no guideline which would direct anesthetists or pediatricians about intravenous perioperative hydration. Absence of guidelines prompted to the need for finding out the prevalent practice. Rationale
