potassium chloride and Brain Edema

potassium chloride has been researched along with Brain Edema in 8 studies

Potassium Chloride: A white crystal or crystalline powder used in BUFFERS; FERTILIZERS; and EXPLOSIVES. It can be used to replenish ELECTROLYTES and restore WATER-ELECTROLYTE BALANCE in treating HYPOKALEMIA.
potassium chloride : A metal chloride salt with a K(+) counterion.

Brain Edema: Increased intracellular or extracellular fluid in brain tissue. Cytotoxic brain edema (swelling due to increased intracellular fluid) is indicative of a disturbance in cell metabolism, and is commonly associated with hypoxic or ischemic injuries (see HYPOXIA, BRAIN). An increase in extracellular fluid may be caused by increased brain capillary permeability (vasogenic edema), an osmotic gradient, local blockages in interstitial fluid pathways, or by obstruction of CSF flow (e.g., obstructive HYDROCEPHALUS). (From Childs Nerv Syst 1992 Sep; 8(6):301-6)

"Pretreatment with diazoxide significantly reduced the infarct volume from 6."1.33MitoKATP-channel opener protects against neuronal death in rat venous ischemia. ( Alessandri, B; Heimann, A; Kempski, O; Nakagawa, I, 2005)
"Thus, in cerebral edema separation of blood vessels as well as increased interstitial pressure decrease blood volume, and the regional differences in turn reflect pressure gradients within the brain."1.26Cerebral edema, mass effects, and regional blood volume in man. ( Kurtz, D; Penn, RD, 1977)
