Hyponatraemia
Causes: Diuretics GIT lossesBurnsCorticosteroid withdrawal
Cardiac failureTURP
Excess dextrose infusionSIADH: postoperative pain, Lung infection+COPD
Hyponatraemia• <130mmols/l: lethargy• <125mmols/l: confusion• <110mmols/l: coma• +/- GIT symptoms
• Hypovolaemic: loss of Na + H20 R/ 0.9% NaCl
• Normovolaemic: loss of Na + rel increased water
R/ water restriction
• Hypervolaemic: inc in body Na and H20
R/ diuretics and water restriction
Correction of electrolyte disorders
Hyponatraemia Aim for a change of 0.5-1mmol/L/hr
Na requirement=TBW X(target Na-actual Na)
Beware central pontine myelinolysis
Hypernatraemia
• >145mmols/l relative water deficit
Causes• Elderly water deprivation• Hyperosmolar diabetic coma• Diabetes Insipidus head injury
• S&S thirst irritability, hyperreflexia, seizure, coma
• +/- pulm oedema
Hypernatraemia
• Hypovolaemic R/ 0.9%NaCl then water• Hypervolaemic R/ Diuretics• Normovolaemic R/ 5% dextrose or water• (Desmopressin for DI)
Aim for a change of 0.5 - 1mmol/L/hr Beware cerebral oedema
HYPOKALAEMIA
• <3.5MMOLS/L
CAUSES:
Diuretics
• GIT losses
• Diabetics on insulin
• Beta agonist meds
Hypokalaemia
• Poor muscle tone <2mmols/l Resp failure
• Intestinal ileus
• Tachyarrthymias
• ECG U waves, flat T,s
Correction of electrolyte disorders
• Hypokalaemia
• <2.5mmols/l R/ 20-40mmols KCl in I litre N saline over 8Hrs (replace at 30mmols /hr max with ECG monitoring)
• 2.5-3.5mmols/L oral replacement therapy 80-120mmols/day
Hyperkalaemia
• >5.6mmols/l
• Rhabdomyolysis
• Burns
• Suxamethonium
• Renal failure
• ACE inhibitors
• Diuretics spironolactone
Hyperkalaemia
• peak T wideQRS prolonged PR loss of P waves
• Tachyarrthymias
• Cardiac arrest
• Poor muscle tone
• N & V diarrhoea
Hyperkalaemia
• <6mmols/l restrict K
• >6.5 mmols/l or ECG changes

Critical events
SUDDEN ONSET OF:• HYPOXIA and/or• CARDIOVASCULAR COLLAPSE and/or• IMPAIRED CONSCIOUSNESS
• (primarily resp :hypoxia before collapse• Primarily cardiovas: pt unwell, signs of impaired
peripheral perfusion, pallor clammy anxious, restless, hypotension then hypoxia)
• Respiratory depression: RR <10/min SaO2 <90%
• Respiratory obstruction: silent /stridor /
gurgling sounds
• Impaired muscle tone: shallow respirations
poor muscle tone
Blood Gases

Overview of MOF and care of the critically ill patient
• Monitoring
• Bloods
• Systemic MO care
• Management of underlying cause
Anaphylaxis
• ABC• Stop administration of the trigger if applicable• Call for help• Oxygen• Adrenaline 50micrograms every 30sec (0.5mls
of1:10,000)
OR 0.5 - 1mg im every10min)• IV access
Subsequent management
• Antihistamine chlorphenamime10-20mg slow iv• SteroidsHydrocortisone100-300mg iv• Consider cardiovascular support
adrenaline/noradrenaline ivi 0.05 – 0.1 μgram/kg/min (4-8mls/hr of 6mg in 60mls saline)
• BGA• Consider Bronchodilators
• (Consider:Autoimmune assay Epipen Medic alert bracelet)
Critical events
• Airway obstruction tongue/ larnygospasm/oedema• Delayed resp depression due to intrathecal /epidural
/iv/im opioids• Inadequate reversal of muscular blockade• Aspiration pneumonia• Pneumothorax• Pulmonary Embolism• Pulmonary oedema• Myocardial ischaemia/infarction / arrthymias• CVA• Hypovolaemic shock• Septic Shock• Anaphylaxis
Head Injury
• Concern for anaesthetist• To prevent secondary damage due to
hypoxia, hypercarbia and impaired cerebral perfusion
• Assessment of LOC

GCS 8 or lessintubationScottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network SIGN
Guideline 46 Early Management of Head Injury http://www.sign.ac.uk/guidelines/fulltext/46/index.html
Principles of managementA. Maintain good oxygenation
Increased FiO2 SaO2 >95% Hb>10g/dlIntubation and ventilation: if GCS 8 or less
and/or PaO2 <13kPa on oxygen and/or PaC2 <3.5kPa or > 6kPa
B. Maintain cerebral perfusionCPP=MAP-ICP (70 mm Hg)1.Maintain MAP at 90 mmHg (use inotropes if necessary)2.Maintain ICP 7-15mm Hg (N=<20mmHg) Head up posture Dexamethasone / mannitol / diuretics3. Maintain PaCO2 4.5 – 5 kPa
C. Reduce cerebral metabolism and O2 demand: Thiopentone Active Cooling
