The expert warned about the danger of dehydration

The human body consists of 60% water, and the loss of even a few liters of it can pose a real threat. Anatoly Malyshev, PhD, assistant of the Department of Anesthesiology, Intensive Care and Intensive Care named after Professor V.D. Malyshev of THEIR Pirogov University, warned about this on Tuesday, July 7.

According to the expert, everything in the human body is set up in such a way that thirst develops in response to dehydration.

Malyshev emphasized that critical conditions develop in situations where the balance between intake or loss of fluid is disrupted: a person is unable to talk about their needs (due to age, illness or condition); there is no access to water or losses exceed the intake of fluid; vomiting dominates among the symptoms, that is, all the liquid consumed immediately again. It gets lost.

"Thus, when dehydration is suspected, context is important. Sudden loss of consciousness by a young man in a movie theater is unlikely to be caused by dehydration. The atypical behavior of a child or an elderly person in a sauna / on the beach / on a sports field, on the contrary, should be alarming regarding the emerging dehydration," he said in an interview with RuNews24.ru .
