Title: [Anesthetic management of a patient with severe hyponatremia]. Author: Nakayama K, Shimizu K. Journal: Masui; 2004 May; 53(5):569-71. PubMed ID: 15198247. Abstract: A 62-year-old woman was scheduled for an operation for ileus. Before the operation, we noticed severe hyponatremia (Na 117 mEq x l(-1)) probably due to dehydration. We corrected her hyponatremia slowly to avoid central pontine myelinolysis. Serum Na level increased to 131 mEq x l(-1) after surgery. She recovered from anesthesia without any neurologic problems.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
