[AQUATIC AND ELECTROLYTE DISORDERS AT THE PATIENT WITH SEVERE TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY.]
Abstract:
This article is dedicated to the problem ofwater and electrolyte disturbances in patient with acute severe head trauma. We present the case study of patient with severe head injury who consistently developed diabetes insipidus and cerebral salt wasting syndrome. His water and electrolyte disorders were successfully corrected by target-oriented intensive care. Constant tight monitoring and of intensive care allowed to avoid secondary ischemic injuries till the water and electrolytic homeostasis regulation mechanisms restoration.

Electrolytes: van't Hoff Factor
The colligative properties of a solution depend only on the number, not on the identity, of solute species dissolved. The concentration terms in the equations for various colligative properties (freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, osmotic pressure) pertain to all solute species present in the solution. Nonelectrolytes dissolve physically without dissociation or any other accompanying process. Each molecule that dissolves yields one...
