• Oral_rehydration_therapy abstract "Oral rehydration therapy (ORT) is type of fluid replacement used as a treatment for dehydration. It involves drinking water with small amounts of sugar and salt. When dehydration is severe, the therapy also includes supplemental zinc for two weeks, encouraging the dehydrated person to eat to speed recovery of normal intestinal functioning, and having family members and caretakers learn the signs of worsening dehydration.A key element of ORT is that water is still absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract into the body, even with loss of fluid through diarrhea or vomiting. In the case of vomiting, the WHO recommends a pause of 5–10 minutes, then continuing to slowly administer the fluid. In the case of diarrhea, the WHO recommends giving children under two a quarter- to a half-cup of fluid following each loose bowel movement, and older children a half- to a full cup. ORT is often given by parents or other family members in a home setting. ORT is also be given by aid workers and health care workers in refugee camps, health clinics and hospital settings.ORT adjunctive treatments include zinc supplements, and the encouragement of continuing to eat in order to speed up the recovery of normal intestinal function. Often, more frequent smaller meals are better tolerated. Most children with watery diarrhea regain their appetites soon after dehydration is remedied, whereas children with bloody diarrhea often eat poorly until their illness resolves. A number of fluids may be used in ORT, these include: salted and unsalted rice water, salted and unsalted vegetable broth, weak unsweetened tea, salted and unsalted yoghurt drink, green coconut water, and unsweetened fresh fruit juice. A 2005 manual published by the World Health Organisation (WHO) suggests, "Plain clean water should also be given."Health organisations offer a number of differing recipes for making ORT at home using plain clean water as its base. Some publications recommend one teaspoon of salt and six teaspoons of sugar added to one litre of water, although others recommend half a teaspoon of salt and six teaspoons of sugar added to one litre of water. Rehydration Project states, "Making the mixture a little too diluted (with more than 1 litre of clean water) is not harmful." Commercial preparations are also available as either pre-prepared fluids or packets of oral rehydration salts (ORS) ready for mixing with water. Since its introduction and development for widespread use in the latter part of the 20th century, oral rehydration therapy has decreased human deaths from dehydration in vomiting and diarrheal illnesses, especially in cholera epidemics occurring in children. It represents a major advance in global public health. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, a list of the most important medication needed in a basic health system.".
