Incidence of Acute Kidney Injury in Traumatic Brain Injury Patients Treated With Hypertonic Saline

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this presentation, Jessie Briscoe discusses their research on the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients treated with hypertonic saline. Hypertonic saline is commonly used to manage severe TBI due to its ability to decrease intracranial pressure and improve cerebral perfusion pressure. However, it has been associated with hyperchloremia and AKI. The objective of this study was to determine the incidence of AKI in TBI patients receiving hypertonic saline. The research found that the incidence of AKI in this population was similar to other populations and tended to be relatively mild. Maximum chloride level, rather than chloride load, was found to be associated with the development of AKI. The study also highlighted the importance of considering non-hypertonic saline sources of chloride when analyzing chloride load and its impact on AKI.
