System Disease

Cerebral edema, a common and often fatal companion to most forms of acute central nervous system disease, has been recognized since the time of ancient Egypt. Unfortunately, our therapeutic armamentarium remains limited, in part due to historic limitations in our understanding of cerebral edema pathophysiology. Recent advancements have led to a number of clinical trials for novel therapeutics that could fundamentally alter the treatment of cerebral edema. In this review, we discuss these agents, their targets, and the data supporting their use, with a focus on agents that have progressed to clinical trials.

Membrane Oxygenation

After orthotopic lung transplantation, hyperammonemia can be a rare complication secondary to infection by organisms that produce urease or inhibit the urea cycle. This can cause neurotoxicity, cerebral edema, and seizures. Ammonia is unique in that it has a large volume of distribution. However, it is also readily dialyzable given its small molecular weight. As such, removal of ammonia requires renal replacement modalities that can both rapidly remove ammonia from the plasma space and allow for continuous removal to prevent rebound accumulation from intracellular stores. Prevention of iatrogenic osmotic lowering in this setting is required to prevent worsening of cerebral edema. Herein, we describe use of sequential in-line renal replacement therapy using both intermittent hemodialysis and continuous venovenous hemofiltration within an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation circuit in conjunction with higher sodium dialysate and 7.5% hypertonic saline to achieve these treatment goals.
