About this document
UNICEF ORS Recipe for Dehydration Relief by Bala Murugan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Oral rehydration therapy involves drinking a solution of water, sugar and salt to treat dehydration from diarrhea or vomiting. It is less invasive than IV fluids and has significantly reduced deaths from dehydration globally since the 1970s. ORT works by allowing continued fluid absorption even when diarrhea or vomiting occurs. The WHO provides guidelines on preparation and administration of ORT to effectively treat dehydration.
