title: [Dehydratation secondary to infantile acute diarrhea. Physiologic basis and management of parenteral rehydration (author's transl)].
abstract: It is advisable to plan the treatment of every patient according to his clinical and eventually biological data, in order to enhance the efficacy and to lessen the risks of rehydration. This paper begins with a brief review of physiological data and clinical symptoms which make the basis to evaluate the needs of each patient in water and electrolytes. The second part gives some rules of management of the parenteral rehydration, depending on the degree and the type of fluid disturbance either hyper, or iso or hyponatraemic dehydration.
