19 December 2000 Volume 133 Number 12 LETTERS Noncardiogenic Pulmonary Edema in Marathon Runners Letters on Pages Letter 1 to the Editor: Ayus and colleagues' report of hyponatremic encephalopathy with noncardiogenic pulmonary edema in marathon runners demonstrates the life-threatening potential of this syndrome and its treatment. The authors' use of intravenous hypertonic sodium chloride (514 mmol/L) resulted in an increase in plasma sodium levels (10 mmol/L in 12 hours) to twice the maximal rate recommended as optimal to avoid osmotic demyelination or central pontine myelinolysis (9 mmol/L per 24 hours) . Was there evidence of this lesion at autopsy in the runner with the lowest sodium level (117 mmol/L) who developed brain stem herniation during treatment? Exercise-related hypovolemic hyponatremia, as shown by low pulmonary wedge pressures in this study, might be more appropriately treated with intravenous isotonic sodium chloride (308 mmol/L) to enhance extracellular fluid volume while more gradually correcting plasma tonicity in the high-risk setting of rapid-onset osmotic dysequilibrium . Better understanding of this rare syndrome and potential complications during treatment may lead to safer outcomes and preventive strategies. Arthur J. Siegel, MD

Recognition and Treatment of Cerebral Edema Complicating Diabetic Ketoacidosis CPSP resource article published September 2000 Investigators : S. Muirhead, MD, E. Cummings, MD, and D. Daneman, MD Introduction Although early mortality is very low in children and teens with type 1 diabetes, DKA accounts for up to 80% of all deaths. In the largest CE case series (N=69), the outcome was death in 64%, severe disability in 13%, mild disability in 8.6% and intact survival in only 14.5%. Several case reports suggest that subclinical CE may be a common occurrence both before and during DKA treatment. Clinically significant edema may occasionally be present at the time of presentation of the child with DKA to the hospital, but CE generally develops 2 to 24 hours after initiation of DKA treatment. Risk factors for cerebral edema during DKA There is increased representation of and those with new onset diabetes in reports of CE during DKA. There is no convincing evidence that initial acid-base status, glucose, electrolytes or effective osmolality are useful predictors of CE. Thus, all paediatric DKA patients should be presumed to be at risk, independent of initial biochemical parameters.

This page has moved. Click here to view. Brain Edema and Cerebral Edema Cerebral edema is an increase in brain volume caused by an absolute increase in cerebral tissue water content. Diffuse cerebral edema may develop soon after head injury. Vasogenic edema arises from transvascular leakage caused by mechanical failure of the tight endothelial junctions of the BBB. Vasogenic edema is frequently associated with focal contusions or hematomas. It eventually resolves as edema fluid is reabsorbed into the vascular space or the brain edema, cerebral edema, adema, brain swelling, herniation Cytotoxic edema is an intracellular process that results from membrane pump failure. It is very common after head injury and is frequently associated with posttraumatic ischemia and tissue hypoxia. Normal membrane pump activity depends on adequate CBF to ensure adequate substrate and oxygen delivery to Alteration in Consciousness Consciousness is a state of awareness of the self and of the environment and requires intact functioning of the cerebral cortices and the reticular activating system (RAS) of the brain stem. An altered level of Herniation Cerebral herniation occurs when increasing cranial volume and ICP overwhelms the natural compensatory capacities of the CNS. Increased ICP may be the result of posttraumatic brain swelling

High altitude cerebral edema (HACE) By Dr. Clare O'Leary and Pat Falvey. High altitude cerebral edema (HACE) is a neurological syndrome resulting from dysfunction and injury of the central nervous system due to the lack of oxygen at high altitude. It is associated with AMS and HAPE. SYMPTOMS OF HACE: Uncoordination Unsteady walking Headache Vomiting Photophobia (dislike of light) Irritability Confusion Lethargy Hallucinations Urinary incontinence Irrational behaviour SIGNS OF HACE: Unsteady gait - Ask the patient to walk heel-to-toe and turn around quickly without losing balance Impaired mental acuity - Ask the patient to count backwards from 100 in 7s Rapid heart rate Cyanosis (bluish discoloration of lips/tongue) Papilloedema (swelling at the back of the eye) Retinal haemorrhage (bleed at the back of the eye) Extensor plantar response (abnormal foot reflex) Drowsiness Unconsciousness PREVENTION OF HACE: Ascend at a slow rate Avoid over-exertion Consider acetazolamide prophylaxis (125-250mg twice daily) beginning 1 day before ascent and continuing for 2 days at high altitude
