QT- Long
T wave- flat
U wave
How to treat hypokalemia?
Potassium supplementation
Etiology of hyperkalemia
Poor excretion : renal failure, K sparing diuretics
Extracellular shift: acidosis
Iatrogenic: succ
Misc tumor lysis
Presentation of hyperkalemia?

Etiology of hyponatremia
SIADH, CHF, cirrhosis, TURP sydrome, cushings
Need to evaluate plasma osm and ECF volume to determine cause
Presentation of hyponatremia
N/V

Cerebral edema (cell SWELLING)
Treatment of hyponatremia?
Depends on specific cause. Do slowly to prevent extreme shifts
Restore Na by manipulating serum Osm and fluid balance with H2O restriction
Etiology of hypernatremia?
DI, Impaired thirst, NaHCO3 administration
Presentation of hypernatremia?
Thirst Mental status changes--> sz--> coma Cerebral dehydration (cell shrinkage)
Treatment hypernatremia?
Depends on cause
Goal to restore Na by fluid balance and Na restriction

How is interstitial fluid pressure relative to atmospheric pressure?
Negative; believed to be due to contraction of lymphatic vessels
How does plasma communicate with interstiital fluid?
Capillary pores
What dictates fluid movement?
Osmotic forces and hydrostatic pressure
What is most important oncotically active constituent of ECF?
