Filter by:The aim of the study is to determinate the prevalence of moderate dehydration among children aged 9 to 11 who are going to school.
Experimental design overview The proposed project is a prospective experimental RCT study design. Independent old adults(age 65 years old and older) who do not suffer from balance problems willing to participate in the study will be tested before and after water consumption to explore whether there are differences in balance control as a result of dehydration.
The purpose of this study is to non-invasively study the reflective changes in cardiac output as response to fluid therapy in the pediatric moderate hypovolemia/dehydrated pediatric patients using sub-q rehydration using Hylenex augmented subcutaneous infusion of fluids and electrolytes compared to intravenous methods.
The sports medicine literature provides a consensus on what threshold values constitute euhydration (normal body water) using a variety of hydration assessment markers (e.g., blood, urine). The investigators add to this literature by providing decision levels for multiple body fluids which can be used as starting points for diagnosing and treating dehydration. At present, plasma osmolality (Posm) provides the best potential measure for static dehydration assessment (spot measure), while dynamic dehydration assessment (serial monitoring) is best accomplished using change values for Posm, urine specific gravity, or body mass (weight). These findings should be considered useful for clinical, military, and sports medicine communities.
1. The distribution and elimination of infusion fluids can be studied by volume kinetics, a mathematical method based on serial analysis of the blood hemoglobin concentration. 2. The hypothesis of the present study is that the elimination of infused fluid is retarded in the presence of dehydration, and that volume kinetics would therefore be capable of detecting dehydration in human subjects. 3. We induce dehydration by injection graded doses of furosemide (a diuretic drug) in healthy volunteers and the kinetics of an infusion of crystalloid fluid is compared to when the same volunteer receives the same fluid without being in a dehydrated state.
The primary objective for the project is to evaluate whether nursing home residents who require intravenous fluids and intravenous antibiotics, can be treated just as well or even better in the nursing home as in the hospital. In Vestfold, Norway, a structured training program in the intravenous treatment of dehydration and infections in nursing homes is planned. The 3IV study will evaluate if this leads to an equal or better patient trajectory and reduced hospital admittance.
This is a study to evaluate the validity, reliability, and clinical usefulness of a new dehydration scoring system (DSS).
The purpose is to evaluate the ease of use and technical challenges encountered during subcutaneous infusion of Lactated Ringer's (LR) solution, preceded by recombinant human hyaluronidase (hylenex), utilizing commonly used angiocatheter gauges and button delivery systems. The safety and tolerability of hylenex-augmented SC infusion of LR through these delivery systems is also being evaluated.
Randomized (1:1 ratio) study of subcutaneous (SC) versus intravenous (IV) fluid rehydration in mildly to moderately dehydrated pediatric patients.
Test whether Basic Life Support (BLS) providers can successfully place Enzymatically Augmented Subcutaneous Infusion (EASI) Access lines for subcutaneous infusion, and characterize intravascular absorption of EASI-administered (tracer-labelled) glucose (D5W).
