Abstract
Hyponatraemia with cerebral symptoms is a medical emergency. Prompt management of airway, breathing and circulation together with repeated boluses of 2 ml/kg 3% NaCl constitute a rational treatment. The goal is remission of symptoms. After the initial correction, the main concern is to avoid overcorrection, thus reducing the risk of osmotic demyelination. P-[Na(+)] and diuresis must be measured frequently together with diuresis. Definitive treatment should be directed toward the aetiology.
