Sažetak
Substantial scientific evidence and consequent general agreement now exists among pediatric gastroenterologists that optimal management of mildly to moderately dehydrated children in Europe should consist of the following “ Six Pillars of Good Practice” : Use of oral rehydration solution (ORS) to correct estimated dehydration in 3 to 4 hours (i.e., fast rehydration) (1– 5). Use of hypoosmolar solution (60 mmol/L sodium, 74– 111 mmol/L glucose) (6– 12). Continuation of breast-feeding throughout (13). Early refeeding, i.e., resumption of normal diet (without restriction of lactose intake) after 4 hours rehydration (1– 5, 14– 26). Prevention of further dehydration by supplementing maintenance fluids with ORS (10 mmol/kg/watery stool (1– 4). No unnecessary medication (27– 28).
