Diagnostics: Dysnatremias
Abnormal sodium values are a common finding on basic metabolic testing, however the more deranged the value, the more critical it is to think causation, as interventions to treat the abnormality can become as dangerous as the abnormality itself. Join Dr. Chhabria as she dives into the causations and treatments of dysnatremias
Atypical Headaches
Headaches account for approximately 4 million, nearly 3% of all ED visits annually. [1] We classify headaches as either primary (benign) or secondary, with secondary headaches occurring due to underlying pathology. In the ED, the goal is to alleviate symptoms safely and effectively while excluding dangerous causes of headaches. While nearly 98% of headaches in the ED are primary or benign [2], ruling out secondary causes of headaches is imperative as failing to diagnose correctly may result in significant morbidity or mortality.
