Abstract:
Fluids are considered the cornerstone in management of patient post-surgical interventions & any disturbance or alterations of fluid / electrolyte has encountered problems that increase risk for complications & mortality rate, nurse staff play important role in detecting problem to provide optimal care .To assess parameters of vital signs, serum electrolyte measurement finding during (ICU)stay. A prospective follow-up study design was adopted from 1st of November 2022 until the 13th of July 2023 to achieve the objectives of present study & to meet requirement. Anon-probability (purposive) sample, & the sample size assignat was (67) patient, out others participant (22) patient were excluded from the sample. The results show potassium level hypokalemia in high percentage through the (1st ,2nd ,3rd ,4th &5th)while hyperkalemia show low percentage in (1st ,2nd ,&5th ), and the sodium show hyponatremia majority of percentage in (1st ,2nd ,3rd ,4th &5th);while hypernatremia show high percentage along (1st ,2nd ,3rd ,4th &5th);with relation to results of calcium it show low percentage in (3rd ,&4th) observation. Fluid & electrolyte disturbance a common problem in (ICU) patient post-surgical intervention, high mortality rate occurs as outcome result of neurosurgical case that accompanied by these alterations.
