 Restoring electrolyte balance - RNweb
Because too much or too little of any one of the electrolytes quickly becomes a major problem of its own, doing everything possible to maintain the proper balance is a vital component of patient care.
Either way, an imbalance in electrolytes spells trouble for your patients.
Understanding what the lab values mean in relation to changes in a patient's condition can be a challenge.

 ELECTROLYTE REPLENISHMENT
Many athletes neglect consistent electrolyte replenishment because they’ve “never had cramping problems.” Even if you’ve been fortunate enough to have never suffered the painful, debilitating effects of cramping, you still need to provide your body with a consistent and adequate supply of electrolytes.
It’s a somewhat complicated process, but to put it in the simplest terms, think of osmotic tension as being the proper balance and consistency of body fluids and electrolytes.
Research also shows that manganese deficiency plays a key role in blood sugar fluctuation, free radical build-up from intense exercise, and nerve function disorders, especially in older athletes.

 Magnesium and Electrolyte Homeostasis
The electrolyte therapy in patients, who have to undergo surgery should begin preoperatively, so that an electrolyte balance without cellular deficits can be presumed at the beginning of the operation.
Possibly several disappointing results of antiarrhythmic therapy studies in the past are related to the fact that not enough attention was paid to the electrolyte balance.
All these examples show convincingly that magnesium alone plays a leading part for development of an electrolyte imbalance as well as for the recovery of electrolyte homeostasis.
