Hello @bocajoes

Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, I see this is your first post on Mayo Clinic Connect.

Mayo Clinic Connect is an online community where people can share experiences and ask each other questions about any health issue.
We are not medical professionals who can offer medical advice.

As I am not a clinician, below is a link to some information I found on the internet that may be helpful.

To get an answer that is specific to your particular situation, I would suggest you ask this of your Doctor.

I am curious, how long is the patient expected to be on these particular fluids?

Do you have a Physician you can direct your question to?
