Join MSF Paediatric Days for the first in our series of post-conference webinars on the topic of humanitarian paediatrics. This March, we kick-off our webinar series by welcoming Prof Kathryn Maitland, author of the famous FEAST trial, to discuss the GASTROSAM trial, another study that promises to shift our paradigm in rehydrating malnourished children. Hear from the authors themselves about this study and the implications for managing the fluid resuscitation of severely malnourished and dehydrated children.

Webinar: GASTROSAM

The GASTROSAM study provides new evidence demonstrating the safety of IV rehydration in Severe Acute Malnutrition. Furthermore, no evidence was found of sodium overload from using standard oral solutions for rehydration.
