Abstract:

Hydration therapy is widely used in angiography,interventional procedures,and certain surgical operations,serving as the cornerstone for preventing and treating acute kidney injury induced by iodinated contrast media. It is cost-effective,simple,and efficacious. However,improper hydration practices by patients or unstandardized guidance from healthcare providers may lead to overhydration,resulting in electrolyte imbalances,cardiac or renal dysfunction,and even neurological symptoms. This article focuses on the often-overlooked clinical nursing issue of neurological symptoms caused by overhydration. From a medical perspective and with case-based analysis,it explores the current status,mechanism,diagnosis and differential diagnosis,nursing care,and preventive measures. The aim is to enhance awareness of hydration therapy risk assessment,standardize and refine health education contents,and ultimately improve the overall quality of hydration therapy.

Key words: Hydration Therapy, Iodinated Contrast Agent, Hyponatremia, Nervous System Symptoms, Emergency Nursing
