Abstract:
The management of fluid and electrolytes is an important aspect of the intensive care of patients with intracranial disease and injury because the central nervous system has a critical role in fluid and electrolyte and acid-base homeostasis. This article reviews fluids and electrolytes and acid-base balance, their common disturbances in neurosurgical disorders, and their practical management.
