This document discusses assessment and management of dehydration. It begins by introducing dehydration as a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, especially in children under 5 from diarrheal illness. It then covers body fluid volumes and compartments, routes of water gain and loss, and types of dehydration including isonatremic, hypernatremic, and hyponatremic. The document also discusses classifying dehydration severity, approaches to management including oral rehydration therapy, and WHO treatment plans for no, some, or severe dehydration. Key aspects of oral rehydration solution mechanism and composition are also summarized.

- 2. INTRODUCTION: • Dehydration resulting from acute diarrheal illness is one of the most significant causes of morbidity and mortality in the population. • In some cases, it accounts for more than 50% of the deaths during the initial stages of a humanitarian emergency. • Worldwide, over 3 million children under 5 years die from dehydration every year. (WHO) • The use of oral rehydration therapy (ORT) has markedly reduced the morbidity and mortality associated with dehydration caused by diarrheal illness regardless of the etiology.

Normal anatomy and physiology • Water comprises 60% of the body weight of an average adult although the percentage is lower in obesity, since adipose tissue contains less water than lean tissue. • The total body water is divided functionally – Extracellular (ECF = 20% of body weight) – Intracellular fluid spaces (ICF = 40% of body weight) – These are separated by the cell membrane with its active sodium pump which ensures that sodium remains largely in the ECF chowdhury AH, Lobo DN.

Disturbances of fluid homeostasis • Disturbance of fluid balance (intake≠output) – Dehydraton, Overhydration (hyperhydration) • Disturbance of osmolarity (electrolyte intake≠water intake) – Isotonic – Hypotonic – Hypertonic Lobo ND, Lewington AJP, Allison SP. Basic concept of fluid and electrolyte therapy. Page no-9-23
- 12. DEFINITION: • Dehydration is a condition that can occur with excess loss of water and other body fluids. Dehydration results from decreased intake, increased output (renal, gastrointestinal or insensible losses), a shift of fluid (eg, ascites, effusions), or capillary leak of fluid (eg, burns and sepsis).
- 13. Diarrhea • Definition: An increase in the fluidity, volume and frequency of stools. (>3 times/ day) • Acute diarrhea: Short in duration (less than 2 weeks). • Chronic diarrhea: 2 weeks or more
- 14. Etiology of Diarrhea Acute Diarrhea Chronic Diarrhea Gastroenteritis Post infections Systemic infection Secondary disaccaridase deficiency Antibiotic association Irritable colon syndrome Overfeeding Milk protein intolerance
- 15. Types of Diarrhea • Acute watery diarrhea: (80% of cases) Dehydration Malnutrition • Dysentery: (10% of cases) Anorexia/weight loss Damage to the mucosa • Persistent diarrhea: (10% of cases) Dehydration Malnutrition
- 16. Mechanisms of Diarrhea • Osmotic • Secretory • Exudative • Motility disorders
- 17. Mechanisms of Diarrhea • Osmotic Defect present: Digestive enzyme deficiencies Ingestion of unabsorbable solute Examples: Viral infection Lactase deficiency Sorbitol/magnesium sulfate Infections Comments: Stop with fasting No stool WBCs
- 18. Mechanisms of Diarrhea • Secretory: Defect: Increased secretion Decreased absorption Examples: Cholera Toxinogenic E.coli Comments: Persists during fasting No stool leukocytes
- 19. Mechanisms of Diarrhea • Exudative Diarrhea: Defects: Inflammation Decreased colonic reabsorption Increased motility Examples: Bacterial enteritis Comments: Blood, mucus and WBCs in stool
- 20. Mechanisms of Diarrhea • Increased motility: Defect: Decreased transit time Example: Irritable bowel syndrome
- 21. CLASSIFICATION OF DEHYDRATION SEVERITY BY WHO NO DEHYDRATION SOME DEHYDRATION SEVERE DEHYDRATION Not enough signs to classify as some or severe dehydration •Two or more of the following signs: restlessness, irritability •sunken eyes •drinks eagerly, thirsty •skin pinch goes back slowly •Two or more of the following signs: lethargy/unconsciousness •sunken eyes •unable to drink or drinks poorly •skin pinch goes back very slowly (≥2 seconds) National Collaborating Centre for Women's and Children's Health (UK). Diarrhoea and Vomiting Caused by Gastroenteritis: Diagnosis, Assessment and Management in Children Younger than 5 Years. London: RCOG Press; 2009 Apr.

Degree of Dehydration Factors Mild 3% (30ml/kg) 5% (50ml/kg) Moderate Older Child 6% (60ml/kg) Infant 10% (100ml/kg) Severe 9% (90ml/kg) 15% (150ml/kg) General Condition Well, alert Restless, thirsty, irritable Drowsy, cold extremities, lethargic Eyes Normal Sunken Very sunken, dry Anterior fontanelle Normal depressed Very depressed Tears Present Absent Absent Mouth + tongue Moist Sticky Dry Skin turgor Slightly decrease Decreased (1-2 sec) Very decreased (>2sec) Thirst Normal Drinks eagerly, thirsty Unable to drink or drinks poorly Pulse (N=110-120 beat/min) Slightly increase Rapid, weak Rapid, sometime impalpable BP (N=90/60 mm Hg) Normal Deceased Deceased, may be unrecordable Respiratory rate Slightly increased Increased Deep, rapid Urine output Normal Reduced Markedly reduced Treatment Plan A Plan B Plan C
- 24. Types of Dehydration Isonatremic Hypernatremic Hyponatremic Loses H2O = Na H2O > Na H2O < Na Plasma osmolality Normal Increase Decrease Serum Na Normal Increase Decrease ECV ICV Decrease maintained Decrease Decrease +++ Decrease +++ Increase Thirst ++ +++ +/- Skin turgor ++ Not lost (Doughy skin) +++ Mental state Irritable/lethargic Very irritable Lethargy/coma shock In severe cases Uncommon Common
- 25. Isonatremic Dehydration • By far the most common • Equal losses of Na and Water • Na = 130-150 • No significant change between fluid compartments • No need to correct slowly
- 26. Hyponatremic Dehydration • Sodium loss > Water loss • Na <130mmol/L • Water shifts from ECF to ICF • Child appears relatively more ill • Less intravascular volume • More clinical signs • Cerebral edema • Seizure and Coma with Na <120 • Increase rate of Sr. Na level should be less than 0.5 mEq/L (Central pontine myelinolysis) Lobo ND, Lewington AJP, Allison SP. Basic concept of fluid and electrolyte therapy. Page no-9-23
- 27. Hyponatremia: Decreased Weight Increased or Normal Weight Renal Losses Extra-renal Losses Na+ losing nephropathy GI losses Nephrotic syndrome Diuretics Skin losses Congestive heart failure Adrenal insuffiency Third spacing SIADH Cerebral salt wasting syndrome Cystic Fibrosis Acute/ Chronic renal failure Water intoxications Cirrhosis Excess salt free infusions
- 28. Hypernatremic Dehydration • Water loss > sodium loss • Na >150mmol/L • Water shifts from ICF to ECF • Child appears relatively less ill • More intravascular volume • Less physical signs (Dry doughy skin/ Inc. muscle tone) • Alternating between lethargy and hyperirritability • Decrease rate of Sr. Na level should be less than 0.5 mEq/L (Cerebral Edema) chowdhury AH, Lobo DN. Fluids and gastrointestinal function. Curr Opin Clin Nutr Metab Care 2011;14:469-76
- 29. Hypernatremia: Decreased Weight Increased or Normal Weight Renal Losses Extra-renal Losses Nephropathy GI losses Exogenous Na+ Diuretics Skin losses Mineralocorticoid excess Diabetes insipidus Respiratory Hyperaldosteronism Post obstructive diuresis Diuretic phase of ATN
- 30. Approach to Dehydration 1) Initial Resuscitation 2) Determine % dehydration 3) Define the type of dehydration 4) Determine the type and rate of rehydration fluids 5) Final considerations
- 31. Management of Dehydration • General Principles: 1. Supply Maintenance Requirements 2. Correct volume and electrolyte deficit 3. Replace ongoing abnormal losses
- 32. 1. Maintenance Volume: Calorie Calculations 1. Basal Calorie Method 2. Holliday- Segar method 3. Body Surface area method

- 35. BODY SURFACE METHOD: Should not be used in children < 10kg. STANDARD VALUES FOR USE IN BODY SURFACE AREA (BSA) METHOD H2O 1500 ml/m2/24 hr Na+ 30-50 mEq/m2/24 hr K+ 20-40 mEq/m2/24 hr m2 = meters squared
- 36. 2. Deficit Repletion • Water deficit Volume: Water Deficit (L) = Pre-illness weight (kg) - Illness weight (kg) % Dehydration = (Pre-illness weight – Illness weight)/ Pre-illness weight x 100 • Each 1% dehydration corresponds to 10ml/kg fluid deficit
- 37. 3. Ongoing Losses • Regardless of the degree of dehydration, give additional 10ml/ kg of ORS for each additional diarrheal stool.
- 38. • Na+ deficit (mEq) = fluid deficit (L) x proportion from ECF (0.6) x Na+ conc. (mEq/L) in ECF (145) • K+ deficit (mEq) = fluid deficit (L) x proportion from ICF (0.4) x K+ conc. (mEq/L) in ICF(150) • Excess Electrolyte Deficits: mEq required = [conc. desired (mEq/L) – conc. present (mEq/L) x fluid deficit x weight
- 39. • Free water deficit: 4ml/kg x pre-illness wt. (kg) (FWD) x [Conc. present (mEq/L) – [Conc. desired (mEq/L)] • Solute fluid Deficit: Total fluid deficit – FWD (SFD) – Solute Na+ deficit = SFD (L) x 0.6 x 145 – Solute K+ deficit = SFD (L) x 0.4 x 150
- 42. Q. 7 kg infant who has been ill for >3 days clinically appears 10% dehydrated. Current weight 6.3 kg. Na+ =137mEq/L
- 44. Q. 7 kg (pre-illness weight) infant ill for > 3 days clinically appears 10% dehydrated. Current weight 6.3 kg. Serum Na+ = 115 mEq/L
- 46. Q. 7 kg (pre-illness weight) infant ill for > 3 days clinically appears 10% dehydrated. Current weight 6.1 kg. Serum Na+ = 160 mEq/L
- 48. Severe Dehydration • Management of severe dehydration requires IV fluids. • Choice of fluid: Normal saline(NS) or Ringer Lactate (RL) • Fluid selection and rate should be dictated by • The type of dehydration • The serum Na • Clinical findings • Aggressive IV NS bolus remains the mainstay of early intervention in all subtypes
- 49. Monitoring Therapy • Vital signs: – Pulse – Blood pressure • Intake and output: – Fluid balance – Urine output • Physical examination – Weight – Clinical signs of depletion or overload • Electrolytes
- 52. Plan A (No Dehydration) Oral rehydration therapy to prevent Dehydration Age ORT fluids to give Amount of ORS to after each loose stool provide for use at home < 24 months 50 - 100 ml 500 ml/ day 2 – 10 years 100 – 200 ml 1000 ml/ day > 10 years Ad lib 2000 ml/ day Give Supplemental Zinc (10-20 mg) to the child, everyday for 10 to 14 days
- 53. Plan B (Some Dehydration) 1. Daily fluid requirement: – Up to 10 kg = 100 ml/ kg 10 – 20 kg = 50 ml/ kg > 20 kg = 20 ml/ kg 2. Deficit replacement: 75 ml/ kg ORS to be given over 4 hours 3. Replace losses: ORS should be administered in volumes equal to diarrheal losses. Maximum of 10 ml/ kg per stool. 4. Give Supplemental Zinc (20 mg) to the child, everyday for 10 to 14 days
- 54. Plan C (Severe Dehydration) • Treated with 20 mL/ kg IV of isotonic crystalloid over 10 to 15 minutes. Repeat as necessary. • Monitor pulse strength, capillary refill time, mental status, urine output and electrolytes. • After resuscitation: A total of 100 ml/ kg of fluid given over 3 hours in children > 12 months and over 6 hours in children < 12 months. • Assess the patient every 3 hours accordingly repeat Plan C or shift to Plan B Age 30 ml/ kg 70 ml/ kg < 12 months 1 hour 5 hour > 12 months 30 min 2 ½ hour
- 55. ORS Mechanism • In normal physiological state, water is absorbed osmotically across the small bowel through tight junctions between epithelial cells due to a sodium gradient that is maintained by 2 mechanisms of sodium absorption in the brush border membrane of the luminal cell: – passive sodium/potassium diffusion – active co-transport of sodium jointly with monosaccharides such as glucose. • In diarrheal illness, the passive absorptive mechanism of sodium and chloride is impaired, but glucose absorption remains largely intact. This allows the absorption of enough water and sodium to compensate for fluid losses as significant as those seen in cholera.

ORS Constituent g/ L Osmole / ion mmol/ L Sodium chloride 3.5 Sodium 90 Glucose 20 Glucose 111 Potassium chloride 1.5 Potassium 20 Trisodium citrate 2.9 Citrate 10 Chloride 80 Total Osmolarity 311 Constituent g/L Osmole/ion mmol/L Sodium chloride 2.6 Sodium 75 Glucose 13.5 Glucose 75 Potassium chloride 1.5 Potassium 20 Trisodium citrate 2.9 Citrate 10 Chloride 65 Total Osmolarity 245 STANDARD WHO ORS LOW OSMOLARITY ORS
- 58. ADVANTAGES OF LOW OSMOLARITY ORS • Promotes more effective water and sodium absorption. • No additional risk for hypernatremia. • Better acceptability due to taste • Decreases volume, purge rate and duration of diarrhea. • More stability of reconstituted solution. • Single formulation promoted for all ages, irrespective of etiology or nutrition status.
- 59. Cereal based ORS/ Rice based ORS • Super ORS • Superior to WHO ORS in efficacy in patients with cholera. • Similar efficacy in non- cholera diarrhea • Advantages: – Decreased purge rate – Slow release of glucose from starch
- 60. Other types of ORS • ReSoMal: Rehydration Solution in severely Malnourished children with dehydration. • Potassium deficiency but have high Sodium. • Deficiency of magnesium, zinc and copper. • Contents: – Potassium: 40 mEq/ L – Sodium: 45 mEq/ L – Magnesium, zinc, copper.
- 61. Dehydration in Severe Malnutrition • With some or severe dehydration but who are not shocked should be rehydrated slowly, either orally or by nasogastric tube. • ReSoMal: Rehydration Solution in severely Malnourished children should be used. • 5ml/ kg Resomal every 30 mins for first 2 hrs. • If still dehydrated, 5-10ml/kg/hr should be given in alternate hours with F-75 for max 10 hrs. • Signs of improved hydration status and overhydration checked every half hour for first 2 hrs then hourly.
- 62. • Children with SAM and signs of shock or severe dehydration and who cannot be rehydrated orally or by NG tube should be treated with IV fluids 15ml/kg/hr. • Half strength darrow’s soln. with 5% dextrose Ringer lactate solution with 5% dextrose. • Monitor child every 5 – 10 mins for signs of overhydration and signs of CCF. • If child does not improve with 1 hr of IV fluid, blood transfusion 10ml/kg slowly over 3 hours.
