چکیده
Table II in the article shows thin meconium in trachea in 51.9% of the cases, whereas Table III shows thin meconium in trachea in 54.8% of the cases! Table IV shows that out of 9 babies who had intrapartum suctioning alone only one baby developed Meconium Aspiration Syndrome (MAS) (11.1%), while of those who received both intrapartum suctioning and endotracheal suctioning, 16.1% developed MAS thus clearly showing that unnecessary interventions create more problems only!

Rice starch low sodium oral rehydration solution (ORS) in infantile diarrhoea.
The relative efficacy and incidence of hypernatremia of a rice starch based low sodium (sodium of 60 mmol/L) oral electrolyte solution was compared to the standard WHO oral rehydration solution (ORS; sodium 90 mmol/L) in 60 infants with non choleragenic acute diarrhoea. Both solutions were found to be equally effective in correcting dehydration as determined by the respective post hydration wei...
متن کاملGlycine-based oral rehydration solution: reassessment of safety and efficacy.
We evaluated the safety and efficacy of a glycine-based orally administered rehydration solution by comparing it with a standard oral rehydration solution (ORS) without glycine in a randomized double-blind trial in United States infants (age less than 15 months) given treatment for acute gastroenteritis as inpatients or outpatients.

Therefore, out of confusion some prescribers routinely advise the patients to dissolve the standard formulation ORS pouch (21 g) in a glass (200 ml) of water. Two cases are discussed. First patient developed salt...
متن کاملDysnatremia, its correction, and mortality in patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy: a prospective observational study.
BACKGROUND Although dysnatremia has been reported to be correlated with mortality risk, this issue remains unresolved in patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Furthermore, it has not been determined whether change in or correction of sodium is related to mortality risk in this subset. METHODS A total of 569 patients were prospectively enrolled at the start of CRRT b...
