Hyponatremia Volume Status Analysis by Point-of-care Ultrasound

Mexico80 participantsStarted 2023-10-01

Plain-language summary

This observational study aims to analyze the time of correction of hyponatremia in patients within an internal medicine ward. The researchers will assess volume status using both clinical evaluation and point-of-care ultrasound. Patients will be categorized based on whether they have the same volume status determined clinically and by ultrasound or a different status between the two methods. By tracking sodium levels daily until normalization, the study will compare the time of hyponatremia correction between the two groups.
