6. Therapeutic Plan SIADH will not resolve until the underlying disease process has significantly improved or resolved (treatment of meningitis will not be discussed). The approach is a three-step process. 1. Acute presentation (neurological manifestations such as coma, encephalopathy, and seizures). a. There are two approaches for symptomatic presentation that can be used to increase the serum sodium concentration/serum osmolality. 5 mEq/mL). Regardless of the approach, when the symptoms are improved the 3% infusion should be discontinued.

The result is a higher extracellular fluid osmolality, which results in a fluid shift from the intracellular fluid compartment to the extracellular fluid compartment. This provides for better organ perfusion compared to iso- or hyponatremic dehydration of comparable degrees. The child on examination appears better perfused and provides a history of urine output rather than oliguria. This may lead to an underestimate of the degree of dehydration. In this case, the magnitude of the dehydration is about 10% or moderate.

Continued) The signs and symptoms of hyponatremic dehydration are primarily those of dehydration. Table 5 describes the generally accepted clinical signs and symptoms of dehydration as a percent of body weight lost. In general, with hyponatremia (hypoosmolality) the symptoms/signs are more pronounced than the actual percent of body weight lost. This occurs because the extracellular fluid space is more significantly impacted than in iso-osmolar (normal serum sodium) or hyperosmolar (hypernatremic) dehydration.
