DEHYDRATION
Dr Nadeem Zubairi
Dehydration
2 million infants and children die
every year
in the developing countries
Case Study--
Basim is 4 years old and his brother,
Ahmad, is 5 months old. Both
children are brought to the clinic by
their mother because of diarrhea
and fever of 4 days duration. Basim
has also vomited thrice.Doctor
assesses the children and
determines that Basim is severely
dehydrated but Ahmad is only mildly
dehydrated. Basim`s serum sodium
is 170 mEq/L while that of Ahmad is
142 mEq/L
Case Study-
AbdulAziz is a 40 days old first born child who is
having vomiting since second week of life. He tends
to vomit almost all of the milk taken immediately
after the feed and gets hungry again. Examination
reveals that he is moderately dehydrated and there
is an olive size mass in epigastric region.
CBC is unremarkable. Electrolytes: Na 131, K 3.0,
Cl 95,
bicarb 32. PH 7.45.
AbdulRahman,A 14-year-old male is brought to the
Emergency Department via ambulance with a report of the
patient being found unresponsive. He is a known case of Type 1
DM and is on Insulin since last 7 years. Lately he was running
fever and mother is not sure about regularity of doses during
this illness.
On examination AbdulRahman has altered
consciousness level, acidotic breathing and has severe
dehydration.
Labs:
TLC……… high
Sugar……402 mg/dl
PH……… 7.15

Case Study-
Rehana is a 5 year old child who had
60% burns following spillage of boiling
water on trunk and lower limbs 02 days
back. She is in the hospital.
Lately she is febrile, intake is less,
tongue is dry. Her urine output is less
and she is hypotensive.

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 (e.g. ascites, effusions), or capillary
leak of fluid (e.g. burns and sepsis).

The sign is unreliable in obese or severely
malnourished children.
Normal: skin fold retracts immediately.
Mild or moderate dehydration: slow; skin
fold visible for less than 2 seconds.
Mild or moderate dehydration: slow; skin fold visible for
less than 2 seconds.
Severe dehydration: very slow; skin fold visible for
longer than 2 seconds.
Other features of dehydration include dry mucous
membranes, reduced tears and decreased urine output.
Additional signs of severe dehydration include
circulatory collapse (e.g. weak rapid pulse, cool or blue
extremities, hypotension), rapid breathing, sunken
anterior fontanels

The most common type of
dehydration in children
is…..
Isotonic
Hypernatremic dehydration
 Dehydration, characterized by increased concentrations of sodium
and chloride in the extracellular fluid, it results from diarrhea in
infants.
 The occurrence of the hypernatremia and hyperchloremia lies in the
relatively greater expenditure of water than electrolyte via skin, lungs,
stool and urine. The water deficit in these infants is primarily
intracellular.
 The majority of infants with this type of dehydration show varying
degrees of depression of central nervous system varying from lethargy
to coma. Convulsions are frequently observed.
 Dilute solutions of electrolyte are indicated in rehydration. Rapid
adjustment, however, appears to accentuate the CNS disturbance.
Rehydration is best carried out slowly over a 2- to 3-day period.
HYPERNATREMIC
DEHYDRATION
Major danger due to condition:
Brain hemorrhage...shrinkage of brain
leading to tearing of vessels
Major danger due to treatment:
Brain edema due to movement of water
into the brain cells. Occurs if treatment is
too rapid
What lab tests provide
useful information when
the concern is
dehydration?
Usually no tests are needed if child is
clinically stable
CBC, Urea Electrolytes, Blood gases

ORS may cause hypernatremia
ORT vs. I/V Therapy
ORT is as effective as I/V fluid for
rehydration of moderately dehydrated
children due to G/E in the E/D. ORT
Demonstrated no inferiority for successful
rehydration at 4 hours and hospitalization
rate.
A randomized controlled trial by P Spandorfer et al
Pediatrics Feb.2005
ORT vs. I/V Therapy
Although no clinically important differences
between ORT and IVT, the ORT group did
have a higher rate of paralytic ileus, and the
IVT group exposed to risk of intravenous
therapy. For every 25 children treated with
ORT one fail and require IVT

MANAGEMENT OF DEHYDRATION
-Replace Phase 1: Acute Resuscitation :

 May repeat bolus until circulation stable
-Calculate 24 hour maintenance requirements
 Formula:
First 10 kg: (100 cc/kg/24 hours)
Second 10 kg: (50 cc/kg/24 hours)
Remainder: (20 cc/kg/24 hours)
Example: 35 Kilogram Child
Daily: 1000 cc + 500 cc + 300 cc = 1800 cc/day
-Calculate Deficit:
 Mild Dehydration: (40 ml/kg)
 Moderate Dehydration: (80 ml/kg)
 Severe Dehydration: (120 ml/kg)
MANAGEMENT Continue ---------
-Calculate remaining deficit:
 Substract fluid resuscitation given in Phase 1
-Calculate Replacement over 24 hours:
 First 8 hours: 50% Deficit + Maintenance
 Next 16 hours: 50% Deficit + Maintenance

Table of Commonly Used IV Solutions
Lactated Ringer’’s (RL): Isotonic,
273 mOsm/L.
Contains 130 mEq/L Na+, 109 mEq/L Cl--,
2mEq/L lactate, and 4 mEq/L K+.
Lactate is used instead of bicarb because it’’s more
stable in IVF during storage.
Lactate is converted readily to bicarb by the liver.
Has minimal effects on normal body fluid
composition and pH. More closely resembles the
electrolyte composition of normal blood serum. Does
not provide calories.
Contra-indication: Pyloric stenosis(metabolic alk)
Why is it necessary to
use a pump or other
volume control when
infusing Ivs into children?
Avoid overload
Specifically monitor input
When to resume normal
diet?
Special Considerations
Antibiotics
Anti- emetics
Anti-diarrheal agents
Antimotility drugs, slow
intestinal transit but have little
effect on the total stool volume
and may have serous side effect
including ileus. They are not
advised for infants or children
Case Study--
Basim is 4 years old and his brother,
Ahmad, is 5 months old. Both
children are brought to the clinic by
their mother because of diarrhea
and fever of 4 days duration. Basim
has also vomited thrice.Doctor
assesses the children and
determines that Basim is severely
dehydrated but Ahmad is only mildly
dehydrated. Basim`s serum sodium
is 170 mEq/L while that of Ahmad is
142 mEq/L

  • 39. Skin turgor is assessed by pinching the skin of the abdomen or thigh longitudinally between the thumb and the bent forefinger. The sign is unreliable in obese or severely malnourished children. Normal: skin fold retracts immediately. Mild or moderate dehydration: slow; skin fold visible for less than 2 seconds.
  • 40. Mild or moderate dehydration: slow; skin fold visible for less than 2 seconds. Severe dehydration: very slow; skin fold visible for longer than 2 seconds. Other features of dehydration include dry mucous membranes, reduced tears and decreased urine output. Additional signs of severe dehydration include circulatory collapse (e.g. weak rapid pulse, cool or blue extremities, hypotension), rapid breathing, sunken anterior fontanels

  • 48. Hypernatremic dehydration  Dehydration, characterized by increased concentrations of sodium and chloride in the extracellular fluid, it results from diarrhea in infants.  The occurrence of the hypernatremia and hyperchloremia lies in the relatively greater expenditure of water than electrolyte via skin, lungs, stool and urine. The water deficit in these infants is primarily intracellular.  The majority of infants with this type of dehydration show varying degrees of depression of central nervous system varying from lethargy to coma. Convulsions are frequently observed.  Dilute solutions of electrolyte are indicated in rehydration. Rapid adjustment, however, appears to accentuate the CNS disturbance. Rehydration is best carried out slowly over a 2- to 3-day period.
  • 49. HYPERNATREMIC DEHYDRATION Major danger due to condition: Brain hemorrhage...shrinkage of brain leading to tearing of vessels Major danger due to treatment: Brain edema due to movement of water into the brain cells. Occurs if treatment is too rapid
