Definition of Hyponatraemia and Correction of Electrolyte Imbalances

DEFINITION OF HYPONATRAEMIA
• An abnormally low plasma sodium concentration.
• Normal = 135-145 mmol/L
• Hyponatraemia = < 135 mmol/L
• Depends on assessment of extracellular volume

CORRECTING ELECTROLYTE IMBALANCES
• Just as a note, everything I read seemed to be related to nurse care. This table seemed to sum up everything nicely, so I used it.
