title: Hypodermoclysis as a means of rehydration.
abstract: This article discusses the use of hypodermoclysis, a method of fluid replacement that is little practised by today's physicians and nurses, although it was widely used in the early 1950s. The article reviews the literature on the use of hypodermoclysis as a safe and convenient method of fluid administration, and spotlights some concerns surrounding the use of hypodermoclysis.
