Summary
- There is no definite tool for measurement of dehydration in children
- Subjective clinical dehydration scale is considered as valuable scoring system, but it
cannot be reliable among clinicians sometimes.
- Some authors found Inferior vena cava/Aorta ratio can be a objective marker for
dehydration
- However, there is no evidence of correlation between clinical dehydration scale and
inferior vena cava/aorta ratio
- We will observe correlation between clinical dehydration scale and inferior vena
cava/aorta ratio and change of the ratio according to hydration with intravenous normal
saline infusion.
