研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of the study is to examine the rate of absorption of subcutaneous infused fluid in older adults when acutely ill compared to when they are not acutely ill.
详细描述
Dehydration is a common condition in older adults. When oral hydration is insufficient there is a need for parenteral hydration. Subcutaneous infused fluid or hypodermoclysis is a method for parenteral hydration. This method is used to treat older adults with mild to moderate dehydration or at risk of dehydration. Despite that, this method is used in older adults who are acutely ill we have a very limited understanding of the absorption time and thereby when the infused fluid is available in the circulatory system. This study aims to compare the absorption time in older adults who are acutely ill with when they are not acutely ill. Furthermore, this study aims to describe how fast the subcutaneous infused fluid is absorbed from the subcutaneous space and subsequently when it is available in the circulatory system where it has its effect.

结局指标
主要结局
The difference in the absorption rate between acutely ill and not acutely ill.
时间窗: 8 weeks after discharge
We will compare the absorptions rate of subcutaneous infused fluid when the patients are acutely ill (during admission) and when they are not acutely ill (8 weeks after discharge).
次要结局
- The absorption rate of subcutaneous infused fluid by count over the infusion site(We will count the activity from the start of infusions until 2 hours after all of the 250 ml have been infused.)
- The correlation between s-albumin and absorption time.(We will count the activity from the start of infusions until 2 hours after all of the 250 ml have been infused.)
- The absorption rate of subcutaneous infused fluid by count in the thyroid or by count in blood samples.(We will count the activity from the start of infusions until 2 hours after all of the 250 ml have been infused.)
