Electrolyte replacement can be achieved through oral, intravenous (IV), or enteral routes, depending on the severity of the imbalance and the underlying cause.
Oral Replacement: Suitable for mild cases. Oral rehydration solutions (ORS) containing a balanced mix of electrolytes and glucose can be effective. Intravenous Replacement: Required for moderate to severe imbalances. IV fluids like normal saline or lactated Ringer’s solution are commonly used. Enteral Replacement: Administered via a feeding tube, often used for long-term management.
