| | Further studies comparing rehydration therapies would waste resources, say researchers |
 | | No further studies should be carried out to compare the effectiveness of oral rehydration and intravenous therapy for treating children who are dehydrated after suffering from diarrhoea, write researchers in BMC Medicine this week. | | | “Oral rehydration therapy is less traumatic to the child, simple to administer, and can be administered by parents in a variety of settings including the home,” write the researchers. | | | However, the research is clear, oral rehydration is much preferred and in the one or two percent who fail to respond, we can always start intravenous rehydration at that time.” |

| | Oral rehydration therapy, or giving fluids by mouth, is equally effective as giving intravenous fluids to young children dehydrated by common stomach and intestinal inflammations, according to a new study by emergency medicine physicians. | | | Of the 73 patients, 36 were randomized to receive oral rehydration therapy (ORT) and 37 were randomized to receive intravenous fluid therapy (IVF). | | | There are many benefits to oral rehydration therapy (ORT) that make it more desirable than intravenous fluid therapy (IVF). |

| | PJ Online Articles How may advances in oral rehydration therapy for animals benefit children? |
| | In the future, we may see a broader range of primary applications for oral rehydration therapy, notably in exertional dehydration, eg, in humans and horses, and in reducing the amount of parenteral fluids required in conditions such as severe hypovolaemia or shock. | | | During the past 10 years, oral rehydration therapy has seen a rapid growth in the available therapeutic choices; paradoxically, this progress has been far more advanced in veterinary medicine, where calves provide the prime commercial market, than in human medicine. | | | Diarrhoea not only causes dehydration, it fundamentally results from a fluid and electrolyte disturbance, hence oral rehydration therapy is not simply symptomatic treatment but a remedy which engages the underlying problem. |
