Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Reduction of the duration of diarrhea (hours), as well as stool output (ml / kg / h) due to a lower water intake (ml / kg / day) without an increase in dehydration. Water Balance held every 8hours: All losses (faeces, vomit and urine output) collected in containers and clothing pre-weighed were measured on precision scales (OHAUS Triple Beam Balance Model, 2610 g capacity 5lb 2oz). All oral intake was measured using the technique of rest-intake using a precision scale (DIGIPESO, model DP-3000, 3 kg capacity and accuracy 0.5 g). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| No impairment in weight gain or caloric intake, No increase in the number of vomiting, nor disorder hydroelectrolytical. The weight of each naked child was obtained in the same time (06, 14 and 22h) and before the meals using digital scale balance model BP Fillizola Baby™ with accuracy of 5grams. For the measurement of caloric intake and vomiting, was performed the same procedure performed for the primary outcomes. Electrolyte abnormalities (hypernatremia (Na> 150mmol / l), hyponatremia (Na <130 mmol / l) and hypokalemia (K <3 mmol / l)) were evaluated by laboratory tests. | — |
