Question Category:Electrolyte Imbalance

I am totally confused now , after certan new recommendations about managementof hypernatremc dehydration . we all knew that during corection of the dehdration in hypernatremic setting one has to go slow to avoid cerebral oedema as , neuronal cells make their own osmolar substances and even before the intervention in form of infusion of the fluids is done , osmlality is restored to some extent , by fluid moving in to cells .there are some recommendations that relatively hypertonic fluid ( eg half strength saline in a 2 weeks old child ) should begiven to pevent cerebral oedma during correction of dehydration . whils this will further increase serum sodium level to my best understanding . Can you please explianmanagemt of Hypernatremic dehydration to me     Check out the answer
