Abstract

Child, Preschool Dehydration - therapy Humans Hypodermoclysis Intestinal Diseases Male Pediatrics Premature Birth Time Factors
Long-term subcutaneous hydration has not been described in pediatrics. A case of a 4-year-old born prematurely with subsequent intestinal failure, large vessel thrombi, and repeated central line-associated bloodstream infections prompting catheter removal is discussed. Chronic dehydration ensued and was managed with long-term subcutaneous fluid infusions with no serious complications.
