Course content

1 section6 lectures1h 35m total length
  • Hyponatremia20:29

    Explore hyponatremia as a medical emergency, covering causes, diagnosis with plasma osmolarity, urine osmolarity, and urinary sodium, plus treatment strategies and safe correction rates.

  • Hypernatremia18:49

    Explore hypernatremia in this electrolytes course: its causes, diagnostic approach using extracellular fluid volume and urine osmolarity, and treatment strategies including rate of correction.

  • Body Fluids and it's composition10:24

    Explore total body water distribution: two-thirds intracellular, one-third extracellular, including plasma and interstitial fluid. Understand osmolarity, vasopressin, thirst, and renal function regulating water balance, and electrolytes versus non-electrolytes.

  • Hypokalemia19:18

    Explore hyperkalemia, including pseudo hyperkalemia, causes from intracellular shift and renal vs extrarenal loss, diagnostic approach with urinary potassium and the trans-tubular potassium gradient, ABG, and safe potassium supplementation strategies.

  • Hyperkalemia10:45

    Explains hyperkalemia, its causes (shifts, increased load, reduced excretion) and diagnosis via ECG and a flowchart, with management from calcium gluconate and insulin with dextrose to dialysis and dietary restriction.

  • Hypercalcemia15:31

    this lecture explains calcium balance, parathyroid regulation, and the causes of hypercalcemia including PTH-related peptide, vitamin D excess, malignancy, and bone resorption, with diagnostic and treatment strategies.

Requirements

Description

This is a complete course about Electrolytes and their imbalance in body which comprises of 1 hr 20 mins of crisp and very well explained lectures by Dr Sangita Choudhury, a consultant physician who is much interested in teaching and sharing knowledge.The use very simple wordings and explanation using hand written language has made the course more interesting and meaningfull.Dr Sangita has described about normal values and balance of Serum Electrolytes, about different causes, Approach, symptoms and signs, investigations, diagnosis and management of all the Electrolytes imbalances in Details. The learners will also learn about how to identify the common causes very easily as Dr Sangita has used very simple flow charts for better understanding and easy identification of different causes. Use of simple language and interactive lectures has made this course quite easily understandable and interesting.

This course will be very useful for those who are interested in medicine, those who are undergoing medicine coaching, MBBS, MD or Superspeciality courses. It will also be useful for those who are already practising medicine, for those who are interested in human physiology, nursing staffs or paramedics, the lab technicians or anybody who is intetested to learn about Electrolytes and its usefullness in identifying different diseases.


Who this course is for:

  • Any interested learner
  • Medical students
  • Nursing staffs/students
  • Physicians
  • Paramedical Students/staffs
  • Lab technicians/students
