Ratio of Inferior Vena Cava and Aorta Diameter in Dehydrated Children

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Dehydration
• Interventions: Device: Ultrasound; Drug: normal saline

• Registration Number: NCT02203123
• Lead Sponsor: Seoul National University Hospital

Brief Summary

* There is no definite tool for measurement of dehydration in children

* Subjective clinical dehydration scale is considered as valuable scoring system, but it cannot be reliable among clinicians sometimes.

* Some authors found Inferior vena cava/Aorta ratio can be a objective marker for dehydration

* However, there is no evidence of correlation between clinical dehydration scale and inferior vena cava/aorta ratio

* We will observe correlation between clinical dehydration scale and inferior vena cava/aorta ratio and change of the ratio according to hydration with intravenous normal saline infusion.
