Proceedings Hydration and Hyperhydration Issues Concerning Operation Desert Shield Held in San Diego, California on 5-6 November 1990
Abstract
The conference was organized to address two issues that were raised as a result of Operation Desert Shield. The first deals with a short-term study to determine if there is a more appropriate fluid than water to keep military men/women hydrated while on exercises in the desert environment. The second deals with a long-term study to determine the most effective means to hyperhydrate a soldier to provide him/her with increased performance and survivability in extended desert operations. The conference was divided into five parts: (1) Introduction and background; (2) Discussion on immediately available replacement fluids procedures; (3) Scenarios for small operational mission groups; (4) Possible collaborative effort to deliver hyperhydration procedures; and (5) The role of the Naval Health Research Center in coordinating short- and long-term studies.
