Overview
Exercise-Associated Hyponatremia (EAH) remains among the most challenging on-site emergencies in endurance medicine1 — frequently misdiagnosed and undertreated. For clinicians working inside the event medical tent or managing athletes in prehospital settings, clinical precision under pressure isn't optional. Join this session to review the epidemiology and pathophysiology of EAH, strengthen clinical recognition, and explore how point-of-care testing can support timely diagnosis and treatment decisions in endurance and field-based settings.
Learning Objectives
- Outline the risk factors of EAH in endurance settings
- Understand EAH management in prehospital settings
- Evaluate how point-of-care testing supports real-time sodium assessment and clinical decision-making
Who Should Attend?
Sports medicine clinicians, emergency medicine physicians, race medical directors, event medical teams, prehospital care providers, critical care nurses, athletic trainers, and sport-focused nurses.
Participants who attend this webinar are eligible to earn continuing education credits (CECs) through the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM).
