Fluid and electrolyte imbalance is a very important clinical problem in many patients admitted in the emergency departments and it affects all internal organs and increases morbidity and mortality. Most of the doctors, irrespective of their specialty, in their clinical practice have to deal with these problems. So the knowledge about the finest aspects of fluid and electrolyte therapy is important in the management of very sick patients who get admitted in the emergency and critical care setups.
