ARTIFICIAL CEREBROSPINAL FLUID

摘要

An artificial cerebrospinal fluid comprising 120 to 160 mEq/L of a sodium ion, 1 to 6 mEq/L of a potassium ion, 75 to 155 mEq/L of a chlorine ion and 5 to 45 mEq/L of a bicarbonate ion; or an artificial cerebrospinal fluid further comprising at least one component selected from 10 g/L or less of a reducing sugar, 5 mmol/L or less of phosphoric acid, 5 mEq/L or less of a calcium ion and 5 mEq/L or less of a magnesium ion in addition to the components mentioned above. By using the artificial cerebrospinal fluid as a washing fluid or a perfusion fluid in the field of neurosurgery including intracranial surgery or a fluid replenisher for the lost cerebrospinal fluid, the development of cerebral edema can be prevented or reduced and a brain cell disorder can also be inhibited.
