GEA: Continuous Enteral Rehydration by Nasogastric Tube With ORS in Children With Acute Gastroenteritis
Study Details
Study Description
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

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Number of nasogastric tube after changing gastroenteritis rehydration protocol [4 months]
assessed by the number of NG tube and IV in each group
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Hospital lenght of stay between each group [4 months]
evaluate by administrative data of each case (arrival time and departure time)
- Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events for each method [4 months]
Serious sides effect were death and epilptic seizure. Mild sides effects were multiple (IV or NG ripped out, vomiting, failure...).
