Summary
Brief summary
Hyponatremia, which describes low blood sodium levels, occurs frequently in patients who are in the hospital after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage, a condition where there has been bleeding in the brain. Hyponatremia can cause confusion and seizures, and possibly long term effects on a patient’s ability to function. A substantial amount of resources are used in treating this condition.
This study looks at determining whether a medication called fludrocortisone can help in reducing the severity and duration of hyponatremia in this setting.
