London marathon, April 22, 2007 A 22-year-old man died after completing his first London Marathon because he drank too much water. David Rogers collapsed at the end of the race and died yesterday in Charing Cross Hospital. Today it emerged the fitness instructor from Milton Keynes died from hyponatraemia, or water intoxication. This is when there is so much water in the body that it dilutes vital minerals such as sodium down to dangerous levels. It can lead to confusion, headaches and a fatal swelling of the brain. p[na + ] = 122 mmol/l drank Lucozade http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article- 450341/Marathon-victim-died-drinking-MUCH-water.html 10

brain volume regulation 1. true loss of brain solute 2. can reduce or eliminate brain edema despite severe hypoosmolality 3. time dependent process Gullans & Verbalis Ann Rev Med 44:289-301, 1993 13
brain electrolyte and osmolyte losses after 7d of sustained hyponatremia nearly 1/3 of brain volume regulation occurs as a result of losses of organic osmolytes Gullans & Verbalis, Annu Rev Med 44:289-301, 1993 14

hyponatremia: symptom-based treatment recommendations 25
treatments for hyponatremia isotonic saline infusion hypertonic saline infusion vaptan (conivaptan, tolvaptan) fluid restriction demeclocycline furosemide + NaCl mineralocorticoids urea vaptan (tolvaptan) short-term long-term 26
symptomatic hyponatremia: neurological manifestations headache irritability nausea / vomiting mental slowing unstable gait / falls confusion / delerium disorientation stupor / coma convulsions respiratory arrest symptomatic but less impaired; usually chronic the degree of symptomatology is a surrogate for the duration of hyponatraemia life-threatening; usually acute 27
hyponatremia treatment algorithm based on neurological symptoms LEVEL 3 SEVERE SYMPTOMS: coma, obtundation, seizures, respiratory distress, vomiting ALL: hypertonic NaCl 1, followed by fluid restriction ± vaptan 2 1 some authors recommend simultaneous treatment with desmopressin to limit speed of correction. 2 no active therapy should be started within 24 hrs of hypertonic saline to decrease the chance of overly rapid correction of [Na + ] and risk of ODS. 28 28
hypertonic saline correction choose desired correction rate of plasma [Na + ] (e.g., 1.0 meq/l/h) obtain or estimate patient s weight (e.g., 70 kg) multiply weight X desired correction rate and infuse as ml/h of 3% NaCl (e.g., 70 kg X 1.0 meq/l/h = 70 ml/h infusion) OR: 100-200 ml bolus infusion (5-10 min) of 3% NaCl, repeat every 30 min until goal reached FOR ALL SALINE CORRECTIONS: follow serum [Na + ] and urine output every 2-4 hrs during the active correction 29
hyponatremia treatment algorithm based on neurological symptoms LEVEL 3 SEVERE SYMPTOMS: coma, obtundation, seizures, respiratory distress, vomiting LEVEL 2 MODERATE SYMPTOMS: altered mental status, disorientation, confusion, unexplained nausea, gait instability ALL: hypertonic NaCl 1, followed by fluid restriction ± vaptan 2 HYPOVOLEMIC: solute repletion (isotonic NaCl iv or oral sodium replacement) 3 EUVOLEMIC: vaptan, limited hypertonic NaCl, or urea, followed by fluid restriction HYPERVOLEMIC: vaptan, followed by fluid restriction 1 some authors recommend simultaneous treatment with desmopressin to limit speed of correction. 2 no active therapy should be started within 24 hrs of hypertonic saline to decrease the chance of overly rapid correction of [Na + ] and risk of ODS. 3 with isotonic NaCl infusion, serum [Na+] must be followed closely to prevent overly rapid correction and risk of ODS due to secondary water diuresis. 30 30
hyponatremia can be caused by dilution from retained water, or by depletion from electrolyte losses in excess of water 31
