Talk:Fluid replacement

Modern traumacare

Important note: It is NOT modern traumacare to aggressively replace blood loss with massive amounts of fluid! Will rewrite this but don't have time right now, sorry.--Johan M 19:34, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Merge

I just proposed a merge of Management of dehydration to this article, Fluid replacement. Most of the content on this topic is at oral rehydration therapy, which is the standard response to dehydration. Some information on this topic is at intravenous therapy, but that article also discusses using drugs as treatment and not just fluid for rehydration. I think that this article, "fluid replacement", should be the hub for giving an overview of all hydration treatments. Thoughts? Can I merge the management article here?

• Merge Before clicking on Management of dehydration, I thought of it as a survival practice akin to Bear Grylls, drinking his own urine. But it looks like a huge overlap with fluid replacement per WP:MERGEREASON, even though the term "fluid replacement" doesn't seem to be entirely correct - it's possible to just drink more water, without replacing one fluid with another.

  Replacement can just mean "putting it back", to restore something that's broken or lost. Menopausal hormone "replacement" therapy is usually about putting the estrogen back through a different route, not about going full anabolic androgens. Artoria2e5 🌉 10:37, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose: I've looked carefully at trying to do this, but am now convinced that dehydration itself is sufficiently important (independently notable) that it deserves and benefits from discussion independently of fluid replacement. Fluid replacement is used for many other problems (for example, maintenance of fluid intake when people can't drink), while managing dehydration includes other interventions that aren't about replacing fluid. The pages are adequately linked for people wanting to read more, so a merge seems unnecessary. Klbrain (talk) 23:16, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Management of dehydration into Fluid replacement

Restarting a merge request from User:Blue Rasberry. The current MOD article is arranged badly and focuses too much on diarrhea. The FR article is a way better overview on MOD than the MOD article itself.

The information should go into two sections: "By mouth" and a new subsection "Diarrhea" under "Clinical uses". Artoria2e5 🌉 10:35, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

• '''Oppose''' these are quite separate and independently topics in my opinion. No strong opinions regarding moving content from A to B but the concepts are quite different in my mind. Tom (LT) (talk) 05:14, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

Closing with no merge, given the uncontested objection and no support. Klbrain (talk) 16:08, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
