rehydration protocols

Rehydration protocols are systematic approaches to restore bodily fluids and electrolytes lost through dehydration, often due to illness, intense exercise, or heat. These protocols typically involve the oral intake of fluids containing water, salts, and sugars, like oral rehydration solutions (ORS). They aim to replace lost fluids gradually and effectively to prevent serious health issues. In clinical settings, intravenous (IV) fluids may be used for more severe cases. Key components include monitoring hydration status and adjusting fluid intake based on individual needs, ensuring safe and efficient recovery of hydration levels.
