A patient has been admitted to hospital after experiencing significant heat stress and an altered level of consciousness related to dehydration from a marathon race. In attempt to correct the problem, health care workers insert an intravenous catherter and infuse what should have been a physiological (isotonic) saline solution but later discover a mistake has been made and the solution was 5% sodium chloride.
