Electrolyte-based calculation of fluid shifts after infusing 0.9% saline in severe hyperglycemia

Abstract Background Early treatment of severe hyperglycemia involves large shifts of body fluids that entail a risk of hemodynamic instability. We studied the feasibility of applying a new electrolyte equation that estimates the degree of volume depletion and the distribution of infused 0.9% saline...
