Abstract

Introduction

Due to hyponatremia frequency  a wide range of guidelines for the management of sodium disorders have been plublished. Nevertheless, this review has been made with the aim of summarize the hyponatremia pathophysiology in children, focused on its anesthetic implications.

Methods:

The review is composed by information extracted from 2 clinical guidelines, 12 papers.

Description:

Mathematical calculations are commonly used in sodium disorders management. SIADH and Cerebral salt wasting can cause hyponatremia in children. Algorithms help us to differentiate the main pathologies to achieve a correct diagnosis. The sodium correction should not be done aggressively in order to avoid complications.

Conclusions:

New technologies such as phone apps and specific recomendations for infants in periopetaive period could help to manage dysnatremia.
