Fluids & Electrolytes
Fluid compartments, tonicity, the electrolytes that can kill, IV therapy choices, and acid-base balance.
System focus
- Perfusion-first framing — water and electrolytes are the supply line
- Potassium and sodium: the two electrolytes that can kill
- Tonicity, IV fluid selection, and acid-base with the ROME method
