Let's leave the argument over "bolus" behind and focus on the actual volume over time. I feel rather confident that 100mL over 10 minutes is OK only for severe hyponatremia. Higher volume or faster infusion is likely to cause cerebral edema.I will reach out for the exact protocol. I believe it's given quicker than 10 minutes. Running a burette wide-open for a few minutes isn't a bolus because it's not pushed? Do you think the term 'fluid bolus' is widely misused/misunderstood then?
