Previous studies have indicated supportive management, such as fluid provision, is associated with better outcome in JE.
Although appropriate fluid provision is a delicate balance when managing brain injury [ 16, 17], one possible explanation of the positive influence of hospital admission may be that patients receive fluid support in hospital during the illness.
You may need to be taken to the hospital for intravenous fluid provision.
Participation in ultra-endurance events often requires competitors to perform loaded prolonged physical exertion, sleep rough on consecutive days, and manage food and fluid provisions throughout competition to maintain performance and avoid adverse health outcomes [3, 4].
Simultaneously, supportive measures may include blood or plasma replacement (in the case of haemorrhagic shock), as well as infusion of resuscitative electrolyte and glucose-containing fluids, and provision of ventilator and vasopressor support.
A prominent function of the lymphatic system is the provision of fluid drainage of lymphocytes, protein, colloid and foreign antigens from the tissues to the peripheral lymph nodes.
Although the development of continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) with or without associated dialysis could be seen as an advance because it greatly facilitates fluid management and the provision of adequate nutrition, it has not been shown to be clearly superior to intermittent dialysis in terms of outcome.
In the context of PVS, the American Academy of Neurology states that the provision of fluids and nutrition (note the avoidance of the term "feeding") should be considered to be a medical procedure "analogous to other forms of life-sustaining treatment, such as the use of a respirator" -- and thus, in the end, a medical procedure that is optional.
19 Unfortunately, during a large-scale disaster, provision of fluids is more difficult to implement.
As a result, treatment is generally limited to the provision of fluids, adequate nutrition, medication for pain and fever, and blood transfusions when necessary (Bitzan, 2009; Smith et al., 2012).
In all cases, the following variables were recorded: postmortem procurement delay (range, 1 hour and 10 minutes to 14 hours), pH of cerebrospinal fluid, premortem fever or sepsis, provision of supplemental oxygen in the agonal period, and temporal relation to time of death (either sudden death or protracted illness).
