Abstract

There are three main indications for the use of hypertonic saline in critical care including hyponatremia, volume resuscitation, and brain injury. Although the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) and cerebral salt wasting syndrome may require sodium replacement, most cases of hyponatremia can be managed without administration of hypertonic saline.
