Summary

Severe hypoxic brain damage can lead to central diabetes insipidus, a condition causing hypernatremia. Early detection is crucial for managing this complication in critically ill children.

Area of Science:

Pediatric Critical Care Medicine
Neuroendocrinology

Background:

Cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) can result in severe hypoxic brain damage.
Hypernatremia is a potential complication in critically ill patients.

Observation:

Two pediatric patients developed hypernatremia during the terminal stage following CPA.
Low urinary antidiuretic hormone (ADH) concentrations were observed in both cases.

Findings:

The low ADH levels indicated central diabetes insipidus (CDI).
CDI was a consequence of severe hypoxic brain injury.

Implications:

Clinicians must be vigilant for CDI development in patients with severe hypoxic brain damage.
Prompt recognition and management of CDI are essential in pediatric critical care.
