What are the Guidelines for Electrolyte Replacement?
Guidelines for electrolyte replacement vary depending on the specific electrolyte and the patient's condition. For instance: - Sodium replacement should be gradual to avoid central pontine myelinolysis. - Potassium should be replaced cautiously to prevent hyperkalemia, especially in patients with renal impairment. - Magnesium and calcium levels should be monitored closely during replacement to avoid complications like cardiac arrhythmias.
