Brief Summary
There is no definite tool for measurement of dehydration in children
Subjective clinical dehydration scale is considered as valuable scoring system, but it cannot be reliable among clinicians sometimes.
Some authors found Inferior vena cava/Aorta ratio can be a objective marker for dehydration
However, there is no evidence of correlation between clinical dehydration scale and inferior vena cava/aorta ratio
We will observe correlation between clinical dehydration scale and inferior vena cava/aorta ratio and change of the ratio according to hydration with intravenous normal saline infusion.
