What are the causes of hypotonic encephalopathy?

Many people do not know about hypoosmolar encephalopathy. In fact, it is a common clinical emergency and a common complication of respiratory failure. Many causes may be related to it. Therefore, this disease needs to be taken seriously and timely treatment measures should be taken.

1. Hypoosmotic encephalopathy is a common clinical emergency . It is a common complication of respiratory failure. It is a group of clinical syndromes caused by a decrease in plasma osmotic pressure and brain cell edema due to various reasons. It is necessary to receive timely treatment. If it is not treated in time, the consequences will be disastrous! If it is just a simple hypotonic encephalopathy, generally the impact will not be significant if treated in time. However, if it is serious, there will be sequelae!

2. Effective treatment methods . This paper retrospectively analyzed and summarized the diagnosis and treatment methods of 5 children with hypotonic encephalopathy caused by improper treatment after poisoning. Results: All five children suffered from hypoosmotic encephalopathy due to gastric lavage with clean water and retention of a large amount of clean water in the stomach after gastric lavage, as well as large amounts of sodium-free glucose solution. All of them were cured and discharged through intravenous infusion of 3% hypertonic saline and symptomatic support.

3. Conclusion: The retention of a large amount of clean water in the stomach after gastric lavage with clean water after poisoning, as well as the large amount of infusion of sodium-free glucose solution, are the causes of hypoosmotic encephalopathy in children after poisoning. Intravenous infusion of 3% hypertonic saline is an effective method for treating hypotonic encephalopathy.
