Serum Osmolarity

Serum Osmolarity

  This study was undertaken to evaluate whether significant alterations in serum osmolality, [[Na.sup.+]], and [[K.sup.+]] occur after the repeated dosing of mannitol and whether these imbalances increased accordingly with the progress of mannitol application. This study was conducted by performing a retrospective medical record review of brain injury patients who were admitted to the neurological intensive care units of a university hospital located in Incheon, South Korea. Data on intracranial pressure and serum [[Na.sup.+]], [[K.sup.+]], and osmolality levels were collected from the first to the seventh day of mannitol administration. Our results showed that the highest rate of hyperosmolality occurred on the first day of mannitol administration and that subsequently its rate reduced,
