They received subcutaneous injection of 1 mL rHuPH20 (150 U), followed by subcutaneous infusion of 20 mL\/kg isotonic fluid over the first hour. Subcutaneous rehydration was continued as needed for up to 72 hours. Rehydration was deemed successful if it was attributed by the investigator primarily to subcutaneous fluid infusion and the child was discharged without requiring an alternative method of rehydration.<\/jats:p><jats:p>RESULTS: Efficacy was evaluated in 51 patients (mean age: 1.9 years; mean weight: 11.2 kg). Initial subcutaneous catheter placement was achieved with 1 attempt for 46\/51 (90.2%) of patients. Rehydration was successful for 43\/51 (84.3%) of patients. Five patients (9.8%) were hospitalized but deemed to be rehydrated primarily through subcutaneous therapy, for a total of 48\/51 (94.1%) of patients. No treatment-related systemic adverse events were reported, but 1 serious adverse event occurred (cellulitis at infusion site). Investigators found the procedure easy to perform for 96% of patients (49\/51 patients), and 90% of parents (43\/48 parents) were satisfied or very satisfied.<\/jats:p><jats:p>CONCLUSIONS: rHuPH20-facilitated subcutaneous hydration seems to be safe and effective for young children with mild\/moderate dehydration. Subcutaneous access is achieved easily, and the procedure is well accepted by clinicians and parents.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2008-3588","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,10,6]],"date-time":"2009-10-06T00:35:41Z","timestamp":1254789341000},"page":"e858-e867","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":59,"title":["Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase-Enabled Subcutaneous Pediatric Rehydration"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"124","author":[{"given":"Coburn H.","family":"Allen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sections of Emergency Medicine"},{"name":"Infectious Diseases, Department of Pediatrics, Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital, Houston, Texas"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lisa S.","family":"Etzwiler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, St John's Mercy Children's Hospital, St Louis, Missouri"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Melissa K.","family":"Miller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emergency Medical Services, Children's Mercy Hospital, Kansas City, Missouri"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"George","family":"Maher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Hospitalist Service, Memorial Children's Hospital, South Bend, Indiana"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sharon","family":"Mace","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mark A.","family":"Hostetler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sharon R.","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Emergency Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, Connecticut Children's Medical Center, Hartford, Connecticut"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Neil","family":"Reinhardt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Emergency Department, Tampa General Hospital, Tampa, Florida"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Barry","family":"Hahn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, Staten Island University Hospital, Staten Island, New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"George","family":"Harb","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medication Delivery, Baxter Healthcare, Deerfield, Illinois"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"for the INcreased Flow Utilizing Subcutaneously-Enabled-(INFUSE) Pediatric Rehydration Study Collaborative Research Group","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"417","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,11,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021120905191686300_R1","unstructured":"Lininger RA.
