Elderly with refractory chronic severe hyponatremia and anesthesia management dilemma: a case report with literature review

Hyponatremia is a common electrolyte disorder, especially in the frail elderly population. With the increasing number of surgeries in the aging population, hyponatremia is frequently encountered by anesthesiologists and surgeons. Unfortunately, management of hyponatremia is often complex in the eld...

description Hyponatremia is a common electrolyte disorder, especially in the frail elderly population.
