Continuous Enteral Rehydration by Nasogastric Tube With ORS in Children With Acute Gastroenteritis

Completed

• Conditions: Acute Gastroenteritis; Dehydration

• Registration Number: NCT04555200
• Lead Sponsor: University Hospital, Brest

Brief Summary

When oral rehydration is impossible, enteral rehydration via the nasogastric route has been the recommended method of rehydration since 2008 by ESPGHAN ( European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition ), for children with acute gastroenteritis. However, these recommendations are rarely followed in France. These recommendations were not applied in the Children's Emergency Department of BREST University Hospital. The investigators changed the protocol and shared it with the caregivers of the emergency unit. The investigators studied the impact of this change of protocol

Detailed Description

The main purpose was to assess the proportion of children rehydrated by nasogastric tube(NG) after protocol change. Secondary outcomes were to assess hospital length of stay and sides effects.

It is a retro and prospective study. The first phase took place from June to September 2018 and the second from June to September 2019. Any child presenting to pediatric emergencies for acute gastroenteritis requiring nonoral rehydration was included.
