9. Seizures

Patients having seizures need emergency treatment. The first steps will be to make sure the patient can breathe and has an adequate pulse and blood pressure.

 

If a patient experiences seizures, a doctor usually prescribes medication to control them. Seizures due to hyponatremia will need treatment with highly concentrated intravenous sodium. The goal is to reverse the low sodium levels at a rate of 10 to 12-degree mEq/l in the first 24 hours.
