Difficult Electrolyte Abnormalities in the Diagnosis and Treatment for Acute and Critically Ill Patients
MENG Qing-yi
Abstract：This paper discusses the diagnosis and treatment for several phenomenon of the difficult electrolyte abnor-malities in acute and critically ill patients. The main contents include the fat overload syndrome with hyponatremia, hyponatre-mia in the capillary leak syndrome and syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion, transferred hyponatremia in high blood sugar coma, monitoring of serum sodium and osmotic pressure gap for hypertonic treatment, hyperkalemia rescue measures using sequential, hypoaldosteronemia for the refractory hyperkalemia, hypokalemia associated with concealed poison-ing, and hypercalcemia with ECG Osborn wave, which are instructive for reducing the misdiagnosis rate and improving the res-cue level for critically ill patients.
