[MODERN APPROACHES TO CORRECTION OF HYPERNATREMIA IN NEUROSURGICAL PATIENTS].

Abstract

The article presents the analysis of the intensive therapy through the correction of persistent hypernatremia in neurosurgical patients after removal of brain tumors. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effectiveness of Sterofundin in the framework of complex therapy of hypernatremia in neurosurgical patients after removal of brain tumors. We analyzed the dynamics of the concentrations of sodium, potassium, chorus of the plasma, anion gap and buffer bases in the postoperative period of these patients. For obtaining reliable results, the patients were divided into groups according to the nature of the treatment: Sterofundin and symptomatic correction of hypotonic solution of sodium chloride, saluretic and Verospiron respectively. In a comparison between the groups, a distinct difference in the speed of regression of hypernatremia and durability of the achieved effect was observed. In case of treatment with Sterofundin there was a significant decrease of hypernatremia by the end of the second day of the postoperative period without tendency to re-raise. The prevalence of hypotonic solutions of sodium chloride and potassium-sparing saluretics in intensive care allowed reducing the sodium concentration non-persistently to the fourth day on the background of significant fluctuations in its concentration. The use of Sterofundin in complex therapy of electrolyte disturbances, particularly of hypernatremia in neurosurgical patients after removal of brain tumors, is reflected in the form of significant regression of increased sodium concentration in plasma compared with the method of use "hypotonic" hemodilution, saluretics and potassium-sparing diuretics.
