Hypertonic saline for cerebral edema

Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2003
Raised intracranial pressure (ICP) is a major contributor to the mortality of many conditions encountered in a neurologic intensive care unit. Achieving a sustained reduction in ICP in patients with intracranial hypertension remains a challenge. Treatment with hyperosmolar agents is one of the few options that are available, and mannitol is currently ...

Diabetic ketoacidosis and cerebral edema

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 2002
Cerebral edema is the leading cause of death in children presenting in diabetic ketoacidosis and occurs in 0.2 to 1% of cases. The osmolar gradient caused by the high blood glucose results in water shift from the intracelluar fluid (ICF) to the extracellular fluid (ECF) space and contraction of cell volume.

The EEG in Cerebral Edema

Experimental Postoperative Cerebral Edema

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1963
S INCE postoperative cerebral edema remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality in neurosurgery there is need for an experimental model that closely resembles this clinical condition. Prados et al. 4 exposed the cerebral cortex of cats to air; edema of moderate degree, permitting closure of the dura mater, usually followed but rarely and ...

Ischemic Cerebral Edema

1982
Cerebral edema is defined as a relative increase in the water content of the brain, and this excess water may be in either the intracellular or the extracellular compartments, or both. There are two other causes of brain swelling, vascular congestion and hydrocephalus; these are not due to edema, but may be both associated and confused with it.
