“…8 A study has shown that the electrolytes in the beverages are less (especially potassium), osmolarity was very high (693 mOsm/L) and pH was more acidic. 43 Evidence has shown ORS to be simpler and effective when compared to the recommended home fluids in preventing dehydration. 44 Oral rehydration powders are easy to store, less expensive, and have an extended shelflife, but these powders should be mixed accurately to prevent alterations in glucose and electrolyte concentrations.…”

Dehydration in non-diarrheal illnesses often goes unnoticed and there are no consensus treatment recommendations for management of dehydration in non-diarrheal illnesses. A multi-disciplinary committee of 10 experts from India gathered on virtual platform in September 2020 to develop consensus recommendation on current treatment strategies for managing oral fluid electrolyte and energy in pediatric patients during non-diarrheal illnesses and to identify unmet needs and gaps. A pre-meeting questionnaire-based voting system was adopted to reach consensus followed by a discussion between panel members. In absence of consensus, the topic was opened for debate to arrive at an aligned recommendation. Key clinical challenges include identifying dehydration in acute illnesses and recommending appropriate quantity and type of oral fluids based on symptom severity. This consensus statement provides guidance on management of dehydration in non-diarrheal illnesses including recommendation on oral fluid, electrolytes, and appropriate energy management in pediatric population. Oral fluid, electrolyte and energy supplementation were recommended based on symptoms in acute non-diarrheal illness increased insensible losses and/or decreased intake. Oral rehydration fluids should be prescribed accurately and at the right-time for countering dehydration, ideally early in the course of illness. Prescribing pattern should be precise and like intravenous fluids. Carbonated drinks and canned juices should not be recommended. Plain water may not be optimal in replacing electrolytes especially for anorexic patients who can only tolerate fluids. These clinical practice statements provide guidance for oral fluid, electrolytes, and energy recommendations for pediatric patients with various acute illnesses beyond diarrhea.

This chapter explores commonly used devices for placement of endotracheal tubes, including direct laryngoscopy techniques, fiberoptic devices, video laryngoscopy, and transillumination. The focus is on how the device works, and unique aspects of each technique. Direct laryngoscopy relies upon creating a line of sight from mouth to larynx to visualize insertion of an endotracheal tube. Video and fiberoptic technologies rely on indirect visualization (either through viewing lens or video screen) and do not require alignment of oral, pharyngeal, and laryngeal axis. Transillumination relies upon the anterior positioning of the trachea, and ability to see a bright light emitted from inside the trachea as a red glow on the patient’s neck.
