Pedialyte is claimed to promote rehydration and electrolyte replacement in ill children. [citation needed]Pedialyte is lower in sugars than most sports drinks, containing 100 kilocalories per liter compared to approximately 240 in Gatorade.
[67] [68] [69] QSSEs can be subdivided into a number of categories including gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs), Ionogel electrolytes, [70] and gel electrolytes (also known as "soggy sand" electrolytes). The most common QSSE, GPEs have a substantially different ionic conduction mechanism than SPEs, which conduct ions through the interaction with ...
Ringer's lactate solution is commonly used for fluid resuscitation after blood loss due to trauma, or surgery. [9] [10]It is extensively used in aggressive volume resuscitation, e.g. for patients with pancreatitis, hemorrhagic shock or major burn injuries. [10]
