Abstract
Although commercial ORS(CORS) are available HMD are still in wide use. We analyzed HMD for Na, K and osmolality to determine adequacy in ID and to correlate socioeconomic(SE) parameters.
Results: 61 infants were enrolled(1-12ms.).
(1) Most HND were WE & SD and significantly differ from CORS. (2) This was noted in various SE levels.
We conclude that since inadequate HMD are so widely used in ID, pediatricians should increase public awareness.
