The relation between the incidence of hypernatremia and mortality in patients with severe traumatic brain injury
2009
Introduction The study was aimed at verifying whether the occurrence of hypernatremia during the intensive care unit (ICU) stay increases the risk of death in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). We performed a retrospective study on a prospectively collected database including all patients consecutively admitted over a 3-year period with a diagnosis of TBI (post-resuscitation Glasgow Coma Score ≤ 8) to a general/neurotrauma ICU of a university hospital, providing critical care services in a catchment area of about 1,200,000 inhabitants. Methods Demographic, clinical, and ICU laboratory data were prospectively collected; serum sodium was assessed an average of three times per …
LE IPERNATRIEMIE NELL’ANZIANO
2015
L’pernatremia è caratterizzata da un deficit di acqua corporea totale rispetto al sodio ed è definita da una concentrazione plasmatica superiore a 145 mmol/L. L’ipersodiemia nella popolazione geriatrica è un disturbo comune, associato ad una significativa morbilità e mortalità. Le persone anziane sono predisposte a sviluppare ipernatriemia a causa di modificazioni fisiologiche legate all'età: ad esempio la diminuzione della sete, una ridotta capacità di concentrazione delle urine e la diminuzione del contenuto di acqua corporea totale. I farmaci possono aumentare questa predisposizione. Nelle case di cura e di riposo, l’ipernatremia e la disidratazione sono considerate prevenibili, per cui …
Prognostic Impact of Hyponatremia and Hypernatremia in COVID-19 Pneumonia. A HOPE-COVID-19 (Health Outcome Predictive Evaluation for COVID-19) Regist…
2020
Dysnatremia is associated with increased mortality in patients with community-acquired pneumonia. SARS-COV2 (Severe-acute-respiratory syndrome caused by Coronavirus-type 2) pneumonia can be fatal. The aim of this study was to ascertain whether admittance dysnatremia is associated with mortality, sepsis, or intensive therapy (IT) in patients hospitalized with SARS-COV2 pneumonia. This is a retrospective study of the HOPE-COVID-19 registry, with data collected from January 1th through April 31th, 2020. We selected all hospitalized adult patients with RT-PCR-confirmed SARS-COV2 pneumonia and a registered admission serum sodium level (SNa). Patients were classified as hyponatremic (SNa <…
