Effects of Rapid Intravenous Rehydration in Children With Mild-to-Moderate Dehydration

Abstract

We conclude that, in children with mild-to-moderate dehydration, the administration of 20 mL/kg per hour for 2 hours of 0.9% saline solution + 2.5% glucose improved clinical scores and may be used as an alternative and safe way for intravenous rehydration.
