Abstract

Background and Aims: Fluid loss due to diarrhea remains a significant cause of mortality among children under the age of 5. Methods: Oral rehydration therapy (ORT) is a first-line therapeutic measure to compensate the volume loss due to diarrhea and vomiting among gastroenteritis patients. Despite adequate knowledge, the practice of ORT is limited, particularly in developing countries. Results: Several recommendations are provided regarding the use of ORT to treat hypovolemia, however, the information regarding its adequate usage is restricted within the healthcare centers and professionals. Conclusion: This review highlights the importance of providing recommendations regarding the use of ORT. We also discuss the barriers and alternatives that might limit its use. © 2022 The Authors.
