Dosage/Direction for Use
The 2005 WHO Manual for the treatment of Diarrhea provides the following information on the assessment and treatment of dehydration: How to Asess the Degree of Dehydration and Choose a Treatment Plan: See Table 1.
How Much ORS Solution To Use Based on Patient Assessment and Treatment Plan: To Prevent Dehydration (Treatment Plan A): Direction: Dissolve the contents of one sachet in one glass of (200 mL) of clean drinking water. Give as much fluid as the child or adult wants until diarrhea or vomiting stops or you may use the following guide according to the WHO: See Table 2.
Give other suitable fluids including plain clean water, rice water, vegetable or chicken soup, green coconut water, yoghurt drink, weak tea (unsweetened), unsweetened fresh fruit juice.
Do not use sports drink or foods with a lot of sugar.
Continue usual feeding, as tolerated. Continue breastfeeding.
To Treat Dehydration (Treatment Plan B): To Replace Mild to Moderate Fluid Loss): Direction: Dissolve contents of one sachet in every glass (200 mL) of drinking water. (See Table 3.)
Do not use sports drink or foods with a lot of sugar.
Continue usual feeding, as tolerated. Continue breastfeeding.
To Treat Dehydration (Treatment Plan B): To Replace Mild to Moderate Fluid Loss): Direction: Dissolve contents of one sachet in every glass (200 mL) of drinking water. (See Table 3.)
Alternatively, one can multiply the patient's weight (in kg) by 75 mL to obtain the approximate volume (mL) of this reduced osmolarity ORS solution to be given in the first 4 hours.
Continue breastfeeding even during the initial rehydration period.
After 4 hours, reassess the patient using the assessment chart and select the appropriate Treatment Plan.
If there are no signs of dehydration, shift to Treatment Plan A.
If signs indicating some dehydration are still present, repeat Treatment Plan B and continue to reassess the patient frequently.
If signs of severe dehydration have appeared, bring the patient to the hospital immediately for urgent intravenous rehydration. For this to happen is unusual, however, occurring only in children who drinks ORS solution poorly and pass large watery stools frequently during the rehydration period.
When rehydration is complete, skin pinch is normal, thirst subsides, urine is passed, and the patient is no longer irritable.
Continue usual feeding, as tolerated, after the initial 4-hour rehydration period.
Give Zinc supplements. (For Both Treatment Plans A and B): See Table 4.
