About this study

Official title: Continuous Enteral Rehydration by Nasogastric Tube With ORS in Children With Acute Gastroenteritis: Evaluation of Professional Practices Before and After Protocol Change

When oral rehydration is impossible, enteral rehydration via the nasogastric route has been the recommended method of rehydration since 2008 by ESPGHAN ( European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition ), for children with acute gastroenteritis. However, these recommendations are rarely followed in France. These recommendations were not applied in the Children's Emergency Department of BREST University Hospital. The investigators changed the protocol and shared it with the caregivers of the emergency unit. The investigators studied the impact of this change of protocol

Read the detailed description

The main purpose was to assess the proportion of children rehydrated by nasogastric tube(NG) after protocol change. Secondary outcomes were to assess hospital length of stay and sides effects.

It is a retro and prospective study. The first phase took place from June to September 2018 and the second from June to September 2019. Any child presenting to pediatric emergencies for acute gastroenteritis requiring nonoral rehydration was included.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of nasogastric tube after changing gastroenteritis rehydration protocol

    assessed by the number of NG tube and IV in each group

    Measured: 4 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Hospital lenght of stay between each group

    evaluate by administrative data of each case (arrival time and departure time)

    Measured: 4 months

  2. Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events for each method

    Serious sides effect were death and epilptic seizure. Mild sides effects were multiple (IV or NG ripped out, vomiting, failure...).

    Measured: 4 months

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of nasogastric tube after changing gastroenteritis rehydration protocol (time frame: 4 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
