Alam NH, et al. - Researchers conducted a randomised controlled trial from July 2011 to March 2014 at the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research Bangladesh in order to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rapid and slow rehydration in children aged 6-60 months with dehydrating diarrhea and severe malnutrition. They involved children with weight for age and, or, weight for length Z-scores of less than −3 or with bipedal edema and acute diarrhea with severe dehydration. All the children were successfully rehydrated. The admittance weights were alike for the slow and rapid groups such as 8.4 kg and 8.3 kg. Following 24 hours, the mean percentage of weight gain was 8.5% and 9.0%, respectively. It was found that time was saved in rapid rehydration, and it was as safe as slow rehydration and was a more suitable choice for dehydrating diarrhea and severe malnutrition.
