Introduction: The ingestion of magnetic objects can cause complications in children, and there are no epidemiological or clinical data on the subject in Spain.
Objectives: To determine the incidence, epidemiological characteristics and management of magnet ingestion in paediatric emergency departments in Spain.
Material And Methods: Prospective observational multicentre study conducted over a 3-year period.
Introduction: The efficacy and safety of the Rapid Intravenous Rehydration (RIR) guidelines in children affected by dehydration secondary to acute gastroenteritis is supported by current scientific evidence, but there is also great variability in its use in clinical practice.
Objective: To prepare a document with evidence-based recommendations about RIR in paediatric population.
Methods: The project was developed based on GRADE methodology, according to the following work schedule: Working Group training; creation of a catalogue of questions about research and definition of "relevant outcomes"; score and selection criteria for each item; bibliographic review; scientific evidence evaluation and synthesis (GRADE); review, discussion and creation of recommendations.
