Treatments For Cerebral Edema

IV Fluids

Adding fluids when someone already has an increase in fluids may seem counterintuitive, but it's actually a prevention method. When a person experiences cerebral edema, their normal brain function is impacted. This includes the ability to keep blood pressure under control. If blood pressure falls too low, there can be organ failure and tissue death. IV fluids prevent this by increasing the circulating blood volume and keeping blood pressure at a manageable level. In addition, achieving fluid balance in the body is going to put the person at a better advantage should they need additional interventions, like an operation.
