ABSTRACT

The treatment of cerebral edema depends on its underlying cause; it is necessary to identify the type of edema of the patient to provide appropriate treatment. The goal of treatment is aimed at reducing intracranial pressure to establish an adequate cerebral perfusion, oxygenation and venous drainage, minimizing brain metabolic demands and avoiding interventions that may exacerbate osmolar and ionic gradients in the brain. The aim of this second part is to achieve a proper understanding of the different treatment levels established for cerebral edema management in order to reduce the morbidity and mortality of this disease.
