| Acetate | 23 mEq/L |
| Magnesium (Mg++) | 3 mEq/L |
| Phosphate | 3 mEq/L |
Designed to mimic breast milk/infant electrolyte composition - low sodium, higher potassium
Dose / Infusion Rate — Holliday-Segar (4-2-1 Rule)
| Weight | Daily Volume | Hourly Rate |
|---|---|---|
| 0-10 kg | 100 mL/kg/day | 4 mL/kg/hr |

Important Notes
- Used for maintenance hydration only - NOT for resuscitation or dehydration correction
- For dehydrated children, correct deficit first with NS or Ringer's Lactate, then switch to Isolyte-P for maintenance
- Unwell/sick children - use 2/3 maintenance rate (risk of excess ADH and hyponatremia)
- Monitor electrolytes regularly during infusion
- Avoid in renal failure (high K+ content = 20 mEq/L)
- Not recommended as the only fluid in severe dehydration
