CHFT Case of the Week 8 - Hyponatraemia
This weeks case features a critically unwell patient with a very low sodium. Focus is on the hyponatraemia aspect – when and how we should correct low sodiums. This was a particularly tricky case as being critically unwell he would be needing lots of other IV infusions rather than just hypertonic saline as the hyponatraemia guidelines suggest, therefore making careful correction even more difficult.
