Nchafatso Obonyo: "Cardiac function and fluid resuscitation in severe acute malnutrition and paediatric critical illness"

Childhood malnutrition increases the risk of morbidity & mortality and has been shown to underlie almost half of the total number of deaths in children less than 5-years. In this lecture, we will review cardiac function and fluid resuscitation in critical illness states among severely malnourished children.
