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
