Comparison of the different ways of giving fluids to patients who cannot drink enough, such as patients with Ebola virus disease

Cochrane: Many patients with Ebola virus disease (EVD) die because they are dehydrated. Patients with EVD often experience severe vomiting and diarrhoea, which causes them to lose fluids that are difficult to replace by drinking alone. It is possible to give fluids in ways that do not involve the digestive tract; this is known as parenteral access.
