Acute Hyperkalemia and Hyponatremia Following Intraoperative Mannitol Administration
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intravenous mannitol may lead to electrolyte disturbances involving sodium and potassium and resulting in cardiac dysfunction. This report demonstrates that when mannitol is given during intracranial surgery it can cause large increase potassium ion concentration and decrease in sodium ion concentration in the absence of any other possible causes. Intraoperative checks of serum electrolyte levels, arterial blood gas analysis and electrocardiogram monitoring could be recommended to be done routinely when using mannitol.

Introduction : Hyperkalemia is a common disorder among renal failure patients and is considered as an important internal medicine emergency. On the other hand, considering the non-specific symptoms of hyperkalemia and its similarity to the underlying diseases’ symptoms, the occurrence of dangerous side effects is probable. One of the most important effects is on myocardium. Considering the im...
متن کاملExtreme hyponatremia with moderate metabolic acidosis during hysteroscopic myomectomy -A case report-
Excess absorption of fluid distention media remains an unpredictable complication of operative hysteroscopy and may lead to lethal conditions. We report an extreme hyponatremia, caused by using an electrolyte-free 5 : 1 sorbitol/mannitol solution as distention/irrigation fluid for hysteroscopic myomectomy. A 34-year-old female developed severe pulmonary edema and extreme hyponatremia (83 mmol/L...
متن کاملHypertonic Mannitol-Induced Hyperkalemia during Craniotomy
We experienced two cases of mannitol-induced hyperkalemia during craniotomy for ruptured aneurysms. Hyperkalemia was first diagnosed by peaked T wave on the ECG. Serum potassium concentration in each patient was approximately 2 mEq/l higher than the baseline value, reaching 6.0 and 5.7 mEq/l, respectively, at 2 hours after completion of infusion of 45 and 30 g mannitol, respectively. Although t...
متن کاملElectrolyte and Acid-Base Disturbances Associated with Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs
Inhibition of renal prostaglandin synthesis by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) causes various electrolyte and acid-base disturbances including sodium retention (edema, hypertension), hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, and decreased renal function. Decreased sodium excretion can result in weight gain, peripheral edema, attenuation of the effects of antihypertensive agents, and rarely agg...
