Safety and effectiveness of hypodermoclysis compared to intravenous fluid infusion for rehydrating children with mild to moderate dehydration: a systematic review protocol.
JBI Database System Rev Implement Rep
July 2019
Nursing Department, Federal University of Paraná, Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil.
Objective: The objective of this review is to summarize the evidence on the effectiveness and safety of hypodermoclysis (HDC) for the rehydration of children with mild or moderate dehydration.
Introduction: Children are particularly susceptible to dehydration, which can lead to severe gastrointestinal disturbances. Hypodermoclysis, the infusion of fluids and electrolytes via subcutaneous tissue, is an alternative route of administering fluid replacement when oral or intravenous routes are contraindicated.
Older people, particularly those who are frail, are vulnerable to dehydration. Management of dehydration in older people can be more complex than in younger adults because of the physical effects of ageing. As the population ages, nurses will increasingly care for older patients in every setting.

Patients with a prosthetic limb report negative skin effects, including irritation, rash and chafing, which can lead to infection, discomfort and reduced wear time to significantly impact normal activities. The aims were to examine the epidermal integrity (transepidermal water loss, TEWL), stratum corneum (SC) hydration [moisture accumulation rate (MAT)], friction and biomechanical properties in active below the knee amputees and to determine the effects of an inert sock liner on skin condition. The liner reduced hydration, TEWL and friction and increased elasticity versus the amputee's conventional skin care methods.

- Extracorporeal therapies, recognized as multiple organ support therapy, can sustain life by mimicking various organ functions, notably through blood purification and regulation of kidney and heart function.
- These therapies include methods for cardiac support, detoxifying blood, and controlling the immune response, particularly in cases of sepsis, by regulating inflammatory substances.
- Recent advancements introduced protective lung support through systems that effectively remove CO(2), enhancing treatment options for conditions like sepsis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and complications from infections like H1N1.
Understanding clinical dehydration and its treatment.

Dehydration in clinical practice, as opposed to a physiological definition, refers to the loss of body water, with or without salt, at a rate greater than the body can replace it. We argue that the clinical definition for dehydration, ie, loss of total body water, addresses the medical needs of the patient most effectively. There are 2 types of dehydration, namely water loss dehydration (hyperosmolar, due either to increased sodium or glucose) and salt and water loss dehydration (hyponatremia).
