Randomized Controlled TrialBolus fluid therapy and sodium homeostasis in paediatric gastroenteritis.
The study aims to assess the risk of developing hyponatraemia when large-volume bolus fluid rehydration therapy is administered. ⋯ Large-volume bolus rehydration therapy with 0.9% saline is safe. It does not promote the development of hyponatraemia over the short term, but hastens the resolution of baseline hyponatraemia.
