Critical Care Time
Osmotic Demyelinating Syndrome and Treatment for Seizures in Hyponatremia
This chapter discusses the concept of osmotic demyelinating syndrome in the context of rapid correction of hyponatremia. The speakers emphasize that raising serum osmolarity leads to an increase in serum sodium, even if other electrolytes like potassium are being administered. They also highlight the importance of correcting very low potassium levels in these patients. Additionally, the chapter touches upon the treatment of seizures related to hyponatremia, suggesting the administration of hypertonic saline based on European guidelines.
