Usefulness of the serum electrolyte panel in the management of pediatric dehydration treated with intravenously administered fluids.

BACKGROUND: The serum electrolyte panel (SEP) is a frequently ordered laboratory test, but it has unproven usefulness in the treatment of dehydrated pediatric patients. Our study purpose was to evaluate the usefulness of routinely ordering a SEP in the treatment of dehydrated pediatric patients receiving intravenous fluids (IVFs). METHODS: Children 2 months to 9 years [...]

Moderate hypernatremic dehydration in newborn infants: retrospective evaluation of 64 cases.

OBJECTIVES: This study was carried out to assess the incidence, presenting complaints, risk factors, and methods for prevention of hypernatremic dehydration among term and near-term breastfeeding infants. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated term and near-term (> or =35 weeks of gestation) neonates admitted to our neonatology department, during a four-year period with serum sodium concentrations of [...]

Two percent dehydration impairs and six percent carbohydrate drink improves boys basketball skills.

PURPOSE: To determine the effects of exercise heat-induced two percent dehydration (DEH) and euhydration (EUH) with a six percent carbohydrate-electrolyte solution (CES) compared with placebo EUH (P EUH) on basketball skills in skilled young players. METHODS: Fifteen 12- to 15-yr-old boys underwent three separate 2-h exercise heat exposures (double blind, random order): 2% DEH by [...]

Hypernatremic dehydration associated with breast-feeding

BACKGROUND: During the last 10 years the number of publications reporting a rise in the incidence of hypernatremia in children who are exclusively breast-fed has increased. OBJECTIVE: To report the results of a series of cases detected in a district hospital in the last 6 years in order to better delineate the clinical characteristics of [...]

Reference chart for relative weight change to detect hypernatraemic dehydration.

OBJECTIVE: The validity of the rule of thumb that infants may have a weight loss of 10% in the first days after birth is unknown. We assessed the validity of this and other rules to detect breast-fed infants with hypernatraemic dehydration. DESIGN: A reference chart for relative weight change was constructed by the LMS method. [...]

Five-year neurodevelopmental outcome of neonatal dehydration

OBJECTIVE: To determine the long-term outcome of neonatal dehydration. STUDY DESIGN: We identified 182 newborns who were rehospitalized with dehydration (weight loss > or =12% of birth weight and/or serum sodium > or =150 mEq/L) and 419 randomly selected controls from a cohort of 106,627 term and near-term infants with birth weight > or =2000 [...]

Oral hydration in older adults: greater awareness is needed in preventing, recognizing, and treating dehydration

Maintaining adequate fluid balance is an essential component of health at every stage of life. Age-related changes make older adults more vulnerable to shifts in water balance that can result in overhydration or, more frequently, dehydration. This article reviews age-related changes, risk factors, assessment measures, and nursing interventions for dehydration.

Rehospitalization for neonatal dehydration: a nested case-control study.

OBJECTIVES: To determine the incidence of neonatal dehydration leading to rehospitalization, whether clinical and health services data could predict its occurrence, and the outcome of dehydrated infants. METHODS: We employed a retrospective case-control design nested within a cohort of 51 383 newborns weighing 2000 g or more, with a gestational age of 36 weeks or [...]
