Popis: Recent studies have expanded our knowledge of the diverse physiologic roles of sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorous. Their roles are not limited to passive fluid and electrochemical regulation. This article reviews the physiologic function and indications for these electrolytes and trace minerals and discusses toxicities associated with their use. Dosing guidelines and recommendations for monitoring are outlined to maximize efficacy and minimize adverse effects.
