In the second session of the Basic Fluid Champion Course, Dr. Niels Van Regenmortel explores the essential roles of sodium and potassium in maintaining homeostasis. This session offers an in-depth analysis of these critical electrolytes, including their evolutionary background, clinical significance, and the impact of hospital practices on their management.
