Subcutaneous hydration by hypodermoclysis

Abstract: Subcutaneous hydration, or hypodermoclysis (HDC), is a very simple technique that should be practised more often by doctors and nurses who care for older patients. It involves less discomfort, generates less cost and has fewer adverse effects than the intravenous route and may reduce the need for admission to the emergency department. The main indication is the management of mild to moderate dehydration, and prevention of dehydration in patients who are intolerant of oral intake. It should not be administered … Show more

“…(1)(2)(3) However, this technique fell out of favor by 1950, due to reports of fluid overload and circulatory shock occurring after SC infusion of large volumes of solutions without electrolytes, (2,4,5) and the disclosure and notification of disastrous results occurring after infusions provided outside the SC tissue also reached the muscle tissue. Another factor that contributed to the disuse of this technique was the ease of application of intravenous (IV) infusions (5).…”

“…A utilização da via subcutânea (SC) para a infusão de líquidos em grande volume é uma prática conhecida há mais de 100 anos, tanto para o uso em crianças como em adultos, com descrição de experiências bem-sucedidas no século XIX (1)(2)(3) . No entanto, esta técnica caiu em descré-dito por volta de 1950, em razão de relatos de sobrecarga hídrica e choque circulatório ocorridos após infusão SC de grandes volumes de soluções sem eletrólitos (2,4,5) , além da divulgação e notificação de resultados desastrosos decorrentes de infusões aplicadas fora do tecido SC e que alcançaram também o tecido muscular.…”
