Wednesday, February 15
Educational Objectives:
1. Understand the treatment of patients with severe hyponatremia
2. Recognize overcorrection of hyponatremia and how to manage this problem
3. Understand the concept of free water clearance and how to apply this to patient care.
4. Understand the treatments for severe hyperkalemia in the patient with kidney disease
Content Description:
This session will focus on common electrolyte problems encountered in patients admitted to the intensive care
unit. The session is case-based and interactive with presentation of cases that cover such problems as hyponatremia,
hyperkalemia, and acid-base abnormalities. In all cases, a practical approach is stressed that is based
upon physiological principles that can be applied to other cases that the clinician may encounter in the ICU setting.
