Fields:

Text
In treating SIADH, {{c1::hyper}}tonic saline is given when treating a patient with severe symptoms, and {{c1::iso}}tonic saline is given for mild symptoms
Extra
- Fluid restriction is the first thing done in asymptomatic patients
- Isotonic saline is preferred in mild symptoms because it is still relatively hypertonic to the dilutional hyponatremia of SIADH (therefore will still help normalize the hyponatremia in a patient that is already fluid overloaded)
- when a patient has severe symptoms (cerebral edema, seizures), hypertonic saline is given to ensure that the water that has entered the brain is pulled out (gives a strong osmotic impetus)
