FIRST AID LESSON 50 - HOW TO TREAT DEHYDRATION .

TOPIC OVERVIEW .

Dehydration occurs when more water and fluids leave the body than enter it. Even low levels of dehydration can cause headaches, lethargy, and constipation. The human body is roughly 75 percent water. Without this water, it cannot survive. Water is found inside cells, within blood vessels, and between cells.

OBJECTIVES .

In this video we explain the signs of dehydration, and how to help someone who is suffering from dehydration. Dehydration happens when someone loses more fluid than they take in. Young children and older people are likely to get dehydrated more easily, so it’s especially important for them to drink plenty of water.
