Abstract
This chapter describes the electrolytes of immediate concern (sodium, calcium, phosphorus and potassium) that often need to be monitored and treated in the emergent patient; their basic function in the body and the most common conditions that require monitoring of each electrolyte. The methods of measurement of each electrolyte, possible pitfalls in measurement and several clinical examples of electrolyte monitoring in action are also presented.
