17 Μαΐ 2024 · 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 thirst, with or without arginine vasopressin disorders, and with primary sodium overload will also be reviewed.
24 Αυγ 2023 · Summarize the treatment of hypernatremia. Explain the importance of improving care coordination among interprofessional team members to improve outcomes for patients affected by hypernatremia. Access free multiple choice questions on this topic.
25 Οκτ 2023 · Treatment of hypernatraemia is directed at addressing the underlying cause, as well as replacing free water deficit and ongoing losses while monitoring serum sodium concentration. It is important not to correct the serum sodium concentration too rapidly in cases of chronic hypernatraemia.
In acute hypernatremia, correct the serum sodium at an initial rate of 2-3 mEq/L/h (for 2-3 h) (maximum total, 12 mEq/L/d). Measure serum and urine electrolytes every 1-2 hours. Perform...
Replacement of both intravascular volume and free water deficit is the main goal of treatment. Oral hydration is effective in conscious patients without significant gastrointestinal dysfunction. In severe hypernatremia or in patients unable to drink because of continued vomiting or mental status changes, IV hydration is preferred.
21 Μαρ 2018 · Healthcare-acquired hypernatremia (serum sodium >145 mEq/dL) is common among critically ill and other hospitalized patients and is usually treated with hypotonic fluid and/or diuretics to correct a “free water deficit.”
The review presents the main pathogenetic mechanisms of hypernatremia, provides specific directions for the evaluation of patients with increased sodium levels and describes a detailed algorithm for the proper correction of hypernatremia.
