The GASTROSAM study seeks to demonstrate that a new approach to treating children suffering from severe malnutrition and dehydration is not only possible but should be seriously considered. By comparing two intravenous rehydration protocols with the World Health Organizatio( WHO)'s standard protocols for rehydration (which avoid the intravenous route except in cases of absolute emergency), the researchers hope to significantly improve the clinical outcomes and health of these vulnerable young patients.
