More evidence
If you consider, as I do, that basic knowledge of fluid and electrolyte
management falls within the remit of Clinical Biochemistry, the surveys
of Dileep Lobo (2 abstracts attached) showing the lack of training of
junior and senior doctors about basic fluid and electrolyte management
make interesting reading.
If you want a useful clinical audit topic, try auditing the incidence of
hypernatraemia in your inpatients, by doing a gather from your database
for 6 months, and see where they come from and how many cases were
avoidable.
I think we can help here both at a local and National level.
