2024年5月17日 · This topic will focus on the treatment of hypernatremia induced by water loss, which is the most common cause. The treatment of hypernatremia in patients with impaired …

2024年7月5日 · Severe symptoms usually correlate with an acute rise in sodium to >158 mM. (Irwin 2023) Findings may include: Delirium progressing to coma. Weakness. This is a normal, expected symptom of hypernatremia. Any patient with a sodium >150 mEq/L who is alert but not thirsty has hypothalamic dysfunction (either structural or functional). (Irwin 2023)

2024年8月9日 · Cheat sheet for Isotonic IV Fluids. Normal saline solution (0.9% NaCl) or NSS, is a crystalloid isotonic IV fluid that contains water, sodium (154 mEq/L), and chloride (154 mEq/L).

2006年4月2日 · Patients should be given intravenous 5% dextrose for acute hypernatremia or half-normal saline (0.45% sodium chloride) for chronic hypernatremia if unable to tolerate oral water.

In case of shock or hypotension, 0.9% normal saline or balanced crystalloid should be used for resuscitation regardless of the sNa level until the restoration of volume has been reached [13, 25, 88, 92].

2013年5月1日 · IV fluids: One of the reasons people who are dehydrated (d) receive Normal Saline (ns) is that they are hypotensive from whatever caused their d. If they are not hypotensive it is more prudent that they receive 1/2 saline to give them fluid in excess of salt.

72 hours if serum Na is > 170 mmol/l. Those with chronic HRN tend to be the least symptomatic and are at higher risk of cerebral edema if rapidly corrected. If serum Na drops fast during correction and the patient is symptomatic, hypertonic saline might be needed (4-6ml/kg of 3% sodium chloride).

Elevated sodium on chemistry Fractional excretion of sodium can help determine etiology Management Normal saline until perfusion deficits corrected Then switch to 1/2NS until UOP = >0.5 mL/kg/hr Target 0.5 mEq/hr correction Avoid lowering Na more than 10-15 mEq/L/day (~0.5-1.0 mEq/L/hr initially) Central DI → Treat with DDAVP

Hypertonic intake: hypertonic saline, hypertonic sodium bicarbonate pushes, excess salt or soy sauce ingestion, salt water drowning. In normal circumstances, any rise in serum [Na+] triggers thirst, increasing water intake to correct hypertonicity. Sustained hypernatremia requires either:

2024年6月4日 · Administer normal saline if patient is hypovolemic. May also correct with oral hydration in children with gastroenteritis. Reduce at a rate of less than 8-10mEq/l/day to avoid consequences from rapid correction. Administer 5% IV dextrose solution at a rate of 6 ml/hr/kg body weight or more. Approximately 420 ml/hr for a 70 kg patient.
