Episode 941: Rehydration in Pediatric Gastroenteritis
Manage episode 463381914 series 2942787
Contributor: Meghan Hurley, MD
Educational Pearls:
Gastroenteritis clinical diagnoses:
Diarrhea with or without vomiting and fever
Vomiting in the absence of diarrhea has a large list of differential diagnoses, so the combination of diarrhea and vomiting in a patient is helpful to indicate the gastroenteritis diagnosis
Symptom timeline is usually 1-3 days, but can last up to 14 days – diarrhea persists the longest
Treatment for mild to moderate dehydration: oral or IV rehydration
Begin orally to avoid unnecessary IV in a pediatric patient
Administer ODT Ondansetron (Zofran) to prevent vomiting
Meta-analysis showed that 2-8 mg orally, based on body weight, decreased vomiting quickly
Wait 15-20 minutes for the medication to take effect
Use streamlined method for oral rehydration: Fluids such as over-the-counter Pedialyte, Infalyte, Rehydrate, Resol, and Naturalyte may be used
If patient weighs less than 10kg: administer 5mL of fluid per minute for 20 minutes
If patient weighs 10kg or more: administer 10mL of fluid for 20 minutes
If the patient can keep the fluid down, double the fluid volume and repeat
If the patient once again keeps the fluid down, double the fluid volume and repeat
If successful with each attempt, the patient may be discharged home
Can prescribe ODT Zofran for 1-2 days at home
If the patient vomits more than once during this oral rehydration process, intravenous rehydration must be initiated
