The choice of IV fluids depends on several factors, including the patient's overall health, the type of cancer, and the specific symptoms being treated. Oncologists and healthcare teams consider:
- Electrolyte levels: To determine the need for balanced electrolyte solutions. - Nutritional status: To decide if additional nutrients or calories are required. - Kidney function: To avoid fluids that could exacerbate renal issues. - Individual patient needs: Tailored to the patientâs specific condition and treatment plan.
