Dehydration

MUDr. Peter Mikolášek
Klinika dětských infekčních nemocí FN Brno

Dehydration is one of the most common pathological conditions in pediatrics not only in infectious gastroenterocolitis. Newborns,infants and toddlers are the most risk group for dehydration, for their highest proportion of body water, increased fluidintake, dehydration speed, limited compensation mechanisms, and worse compliance. Clinical symptoms may be unrecognizedor underestimated for parents, especially in young children. Reminders of basal information on pathophysiology, clinical pictureand laboratory findings are complemented by the recommended procedure to properly initiate and lead oral and parenteralrehydration. Early recognition of dehydration and its adequate compensation is essential for every pediatrician.

Keywords: dehydration, rehydration, fluids, solutions
