| contents | <p>Introduction: The treatment of different electrolyte imbalances is an essential component of life-supporting <br>care in an intensive care unit, especially for young patients. Pediatric intensive care units frequently experience <br>electrolyte imbalances. <br>Aims: To evaluate the electrolyte imbalance trend in pediatric critical care. to determine the many causes of <br>electrolyte imbalances. To evaluate how electrolyte imbalances affect mortality, length of PICU admission, and <br>after effects. <br>Materials & Methods: This was a prospective, observational cohort study conducted in the Department of <br>Pediatric Medicine at Calcutta National Medical College and Hospital, a tertiary care center. The study was <br>carried, from 2021 to 2022, and included a total of 150 pediatric patients. <br>Result: In 38 patients (25%) in our investigation, dyselectrolytemia was most frequently seen as mixed <br>abnormalities. 36 patients (24%), 32 patients (21%), and 27 patients (18%) had hyponatremia, metabolic <br>acidosis, and hypokalemia, respectively. Hyperkalemia (12 patients, 8%), hypocalcemia (9 patients, 6%), <br>hypernatremia (6 patients, 4%), and hypercalcemia (5 patients, 3%), were less common anomalies. (p< <br>0.00001) It was statistically significant. <br>Conclusion: We concluded that the bulk of the 150 pediatric patients in our study who were admitted to the <br>PICU were male newborns between the ages of one month and one year. Central nervous system infections <br>were the most common underlying cause, and mixed electrolyte imbalances were the most commonly found. </p> |
