📖 Check out my book: https://cnu.sellfy.store/ or https://a.co/d/6C6lXGa _____________________________________ 👉🏼 Lecture Notes: https://cnu.sellfy.store/p/hyponatrem... This video provides an overview of the consequences and treatment of hyponatremia. Hyponatremia is defined as a serum sodium level less than 135 mEq/L. It’s a common issue that dietitians face in the inpatient setting because it’s inextricably tied to derangements with fluid/electrolyte balance in the body. Some miscellaneous topics included in this video are assessing serum osmolality, urine osmolality, and urine sodium and exploring the Furst equation ratio to determine the appropriate fluid restriction. _____________________________________ ✨ Make sure you check out my store: https://cnu.sellfy.store/ 📩 Subscribe to ‪@clinicalnutritionuniversity‬ so you can continue to build your knowledge and skills 📸 Follow me on Instagram:   / mitchellzandes   _____________________________________ 📚 Chapters for this video: 0:00 Hyponatremia 0:20 Consequences of hyponatremia 3:31 Introduction to treatment of hyponatremia 4:49 Emergency treatment 8:16 Start of etiology-based treatment 15:01 Recommended changes to fluid/electrolyte administration 19:19 Fluid restriction 22:07 Sodium restriction 23:41 Monitoring of serum sodium 25:23 Summary This video is for educational purposes only.
