Pediatric Hydration and Electrolyte Balance

Maintaining proper hydration and electrolyte balance is vital for pediatric health, influencing cellular function, thermoregulation, and metabolic processes. Children are more vulnerable to dehydration due to higher metabolic rates, increased surface area-to-body ratio, and activity levels. Illnesses such as diarrhea, vomiting, fever, and certain chronic conditions further increase fluid and electrolyte requirements. This session discusses the assessment of hydration status, fluid replacement strategies, and electrolyte management in both clinical and community settings. Oral rehydration therapy, intravenous fluids, and dietary interventions are critical tools for maintaining homeostasis and preventing complications. Proper hydration supports growth, cognitive function, and physical performance in pediatric populations, particularly in hot climates or during intensive physical activity. Recent research explores strategies for optimizing hydration in school-aged children, adolescents, and athletes, as well as in children with chronic illnesses or special needs. Nutritionists, pediatricians, and caregivers are encouraged to implement proactive monitoring, education, and individualized hydration plans. Community awareness programs, including safe drinking water initiatives and education on fluid requirements, play an essential role in preventing dehydration and related health issues. The session also examines emerging trends in electrolyte supplementation, fortified beverages, and clinical guidelines that ensure evidence-based, safe, and effective management of hydration and electrolyte balance in children.
