Fluids and electrolytes
Coming soon!
Fluid and electrolytes play a key role in maintaining homeostasis within the human body and therefore are essential for life. Considering the demand that physiological changes in pregnancy can have on a woman, potentially exacerbated further by adverse outcomes, such as postpartum haemorrhage and sepsis, this role becomes even more important.
This i-learn module explores the subject of fluids and electrolytes in order to help midwives and support workers gain a working knowledge and understanding of fluid and electrolyte balance for all situations, both low and high risk.
