Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Dehydration is a common problem in elderly patients, often resulting in hospitalization. Intravenous administration of fluids can correct dehydration but poses other risks and problems. Subcutaneous administration of fluids, termed hypodermoclysis, offers an alternative method for rehydrating patients, and it is beginning to gain favor among practitioners in the long-term care setting because of its ease of use and minimal risk of side effects. |
