A 38-year-old male came to ER with severe diarrhea (10 episodes) during last 6 hours. His B.P was 90/60 mmHG, Pulse 110/min, R.R 24/min, temperature, (a febrile.)
Investigation shows *Na: 134 mol/L, *K+: 2.5 mol/L. Complete Blood Count (CBC): Normal
On the basis of above scenario answer the following question.
*He was diagnosed as a case of Hypovolumic shock by the In-charge of ER.
Normal Values
Na= 138-146 mol/L
K+=3.8-5 mol/L
