Management of dehydration [SEP] Severe dehydration
In severe dehydration, the person may be lethargic or unconscious, drinks poorly, or may not be able to drink. In malnourished persons, rehydration should be performed relatively slowly by drinking or by nasogastric tube unless the person is also suffering from shock in which case it should be performed quicker. Malnourished patients should receive a modified ORS which has less sodium, more potassium, and modestly more sugar. For patients not malnourished, rehydration should be performed relatively rapidly by means of intravenous (IV) solution. For infants under one year of age, WHO recommends giving, within the first hour, 30 milliliters of Ringer's Lactate Solution for each kilogram of body weight, and then, within the next five hours, 70 milliliters of Ringer's Lactate per kilogram of body weight.
