I am a survivor of CPM. You are the fiirst I have seen put the blame where it belongs, the doctor. My hospital completely covered it up. I believe they thought I would die, thats what they told my family...when they asked to stop life support. Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga, TN

This is one of the first things in my medical lecture and you just explained it in such a good way.

Dear Dr. Andras, My father was admitted with low sodium levels and was treated with infusion of sodium with NaCl 3%, he is also diagnosed with OSD now and in hospital since one month. He is not on life support anymore (which he was for 2 days because of low sodium levels). Since he was diagnosed with OSD, he was treated with bringing down the sodium levels to around 120 mmol and was maintained to around 125 mmol for long. In his initial days, he was totally unresponsive with no eye movement and all limbs were not moving at all. He has shown response to this and his eye movements have returned and him lower limb movements are also showing good response. Starting with his leg fingers, then tow and now to knee shows fair bit of movement. His upper limb movement is not so good though. His neck movement is also shown minor improvement. All this because of right physiotherapy sessions and proper care, he has no other clinical case of blood pressure, sugar level or any other long running disease. What else can be done to correct this and how long will my father will take to recover? thank you very much for this video .... it answered lot of my question.

My mother is also diagnosed with osmotic demyelinating syndrome. I am devastated and cried hard when i came to know that she has no treatment and she will stay like this forever or she may even die due to complications. I didn’t lose hope and started searching for treatments. I am from medical insurance background and knew many doctors. I found many cases/journals/treatment records of osmotic demyelinating syndrome. Even though its not an established treatment but there are cases of complete recovery by plasmapheresis and IVIG therapy. I found a hospital in hyderabad india who was familier with these therapies and infact treated many similar cases.

My father was admitted into the hospital with low sodium. A few days later he was unable to talk, walk and eat. They told us he had a stroke but found out after he died and had and brain autopsy that is was ODS. Because he drank and was labeled a “alcoholic” we can’t get a lawyer to help. Hospital killed him and gets away with it.

You are just something else. The amount of detail is commendable.🌹

Thank you soooooo much , it is the best explanation i ever heard...i never was able to understand anything about hyponeutremia treatment, fluids balance and differences in IV fluids fast and strength. You solved a big and important part of this problem by this 14 minutes video but i would love to listen to more of your videos 👍

Hi I am unfortunately a sufferer of ODS caused by medical negligence. I am currently looking for an expert in this condition to ask some questions regarding this, could you please give me your email so I can get in contact with you ? Thanks

Almost exactly a year ago, after 2 weeks of headaches I didn't wake up in the morning, was found lifeless by a friend, was diagnosed with severe hyponatremia, sodium of 100mmmol/l, I have experienced all of these things, couldn't cough, swallow, and now I have very little control of my fingers in my left hand. I get spasms in my left leg and left arm My chance of survival was 20% but, here I am ;)

Thank you very much. Your knowledge is greatly appreciated.

Excellent guide lines from Doctor..Thanks a lot

DR A.F boss your clip is very informative and very practical,,,,i learnt a lot of things NEURO DR ABID

So thorough and helpful!

Thank you, nice channel

Thank you! Finally I am able to understand what is the difference in treatment Acute vs chronic. Before I couldn’t understand why the rate of treatment matters

Men im from algeria and i think you are great keep coming we are tuned

I really liked your explication keep going🤩

Thank you for your straight talk. Would supplements possibly help a person recovery more likely? And of course they aren't going to admit wrongdoing. They would rather blame the patient or mislabel the matter

You are very good!! You explained this very well. Thank you

Thanx for adding value on internet and in my understanding

Its very importantant information.

Brilliant explanation

Thank you for very good explanation

Thanks your time to share this informative video, does chronic hyponatremia causing dysphagia in elderly patient?

Sir it's very helpful

It should be made mandatory for doctors to get their license renewed probably every 5 years so that they dont play with the lives of their patients who treat them as god. Incompetence in a doctor results in loss of a patient life or may even make him handicapped for the rest of his days.

Great job sir

great lesson, very clear!

What is the reason for hyponatremia for normal person having diabetes,blood pressure,cholesterol?

Discussed very easily 👍👍🥰

Can giving orally in diet too fast also cause problems with some one with mild Low Na. And how would this effect some one with hydrocephalus

The best video. Thank u sooo much

plus i think it effected my heart.. weird heart beats... I am so weak from doing nothing, nothing at all. weakness, tingling, numbness, I just pray that i pass on peacfully with no pain.

Great work dr ur amazing thank u

Thanks..it was so nice and useful

Thanks..nicely explained👍

Can you give us example and how to calculate exactly if we deal with sever chronic hyponatremia

hi dok, im so glad know about this video. i just want to know, i thing my mom get CPM after recovery hypotermia natrium 103 in 3 day already back to normal 147, but now my mom lost consciousness, now already 1 month, when she lost consciousness, she now can open eyes but not response at all include all body. how recocery it ? how long my mom can wake up from her lost consciousness ?. what treatment should we do for make fast restore to normal?

Thanks dr: u explain so well thanku

119 sodum level.. first time it was low.. when the administered sodium constantly along with potassium, my head hurt so bad constantly for days while they were giving me sodium.. that was many months ago.. things got worse with me over time I feel in my entire body and brain. Was given sodium on other occassions too, rapidly for days straight. Another time was given sodium when I didn't even need it..... all my muscles started jumping in my body when it was being given to me and I didn't even need it.

Thankyou sir!!👍👍

a week after i was given sodium ( not needed ).. i started gettting weird feelings in the head, strokes, going unconcious and not breathing, horrible pain in back of the head.. Went to ER and they said I was crazy and sent me home. Went to another ER, they did a cat scan and It made the feelings in my brain worse. My brain is constantly dizzy all the time now. I became very very weak afterwards.. didn't conntect the dots... it's too late now for any time of treatment. I know I'm knocking on deaths door.

Thank you 🙏 doctor

Hi. First thank you for your clear answer about normosaline on the other video! Since i m dealing with lots of hypoNa everyday i got one question about ODS. In fact, today i suspected it for the first time. I got a practical question about how to manage such a situation. Once you suspect ODS like for example a patient with brutal bilateral vision loss with history of chronic HypoNa (106 at entrance) with mild symptoms treated really fast by another doctor (126 after 2days)... now at 134. what should we do first? After a negative complete ophtalmological examination i asked for a cerebral MRI. I would say once you have MRI arguments for ODS you can start desmopressin right? Or is it possible to start before further exploration. I thought that if i use desmopressin and it comes out that it isnt ODS than i would put the patient in acute hypoNa with risk of cerebral edema... most doctors i asked were not really familiar with ODS. Thank you:)

My mom had this yesterday her symptoms were a week of dizziness. She is on hydrochloroyyhiazide two doctors missed this and taken her to Emergency room 115 MMOl she was bumped up 122 pretty fast. Older with RA taking lots meds. Speech and her thinking was very poor at 115MMOL her walking is bad because RA and her speech was tough to see because she has hearing aids and sounds funny anyways.

I help my Mom with home hemodialysis and her sodium was 126 in the ER this morning. She has had cognition changes since April, low potassium, muscle weakness, increased urination, swallowing issues, slow processing, nausea, extreme hypertension for her, red eyes, leg and foot pains, recent headaches, tremoring, and constipation. We only have .9 saline. If this were your Mother what steps could you take at home to carefully help her get better? We have to do hemodialysis tonight and her potassium was 4.1 in the ER. Her thyroid med needed to increase a little. We have a nephrology appt tomorrow but I am worried we won't get help to fix this. Do you have any ideas that you might try yourself in this scenario? Thank-you (That locked in syndrome you mentioned scares me because Mom can still talk and she remembers things but she isn't initiating anything...sometimes it improves but I never know how to help her to continuously improve.)

Do you mind if i asked a stupid question please?? I apologize for my stupidity but I thought to ask this question as I started to understand something from your videos which I thought i will never understand it 😅😅😅. Q) you said Maximum we can give is (6 mmol/L a day) of 3% NaCL IV and that the fast it depends on the patient if its Acute or chronic,......so how I’m going to prescribe it??? I have in hospital: (0.9% , 3% & 5% NaCL) There is : -250 ml , 500 ml and 1 Liter . And then i need to wright the speed: (In one hour, 2.h , 4.h, 6.h , 8.h or 12.h) So how should I calculate 6mmol/L in a day in the prescription??

Can I increase sodium level by drinking water mixed with Himalayan salt? How many gram of salt to consume per day roughly?

Can we give the patient salt capsules??

in the hyponatermia video you said treat with 100 ml in 10 min and to avoid ODS we dont exceed 6 mmol per day as a clinician why do i have to work with 2 units instead of one

Don’t repeat everything, just make it short. Ppl who are here has some idea of the contents….you are good though

Hi Doc, please answer me as the patient is in electrolyte correction treatment. He has hypokalemia (2.7) and hyponatremia (110). In a day he is treated with: - OTSU NS NACL 0.9% 25ML - OTSU NS NACL 0.9% 100ML PIGGYBACK INF - NACL 3% 500ML INF (OTSU) - OTSU-NS NACL 0.9% 100ML PIGGYBACK INF - ASPAR K 300MG TAB - NACL 1GRAM CAP - OTSU NS NACL 0.9% 100ML PIGGYBACK INF - KSR 600MG FC SR TAB will this treatment impact Osmotic demyelination syndrome?

Hi doctor, how if patient already get it, how save it how fix patient how heal patient? Because my mother now can not do anything. :( is posible make she normal again?

Hello sir , my father 60 years suffered sodium over correction from last 4 years, he can't speak, all his body not work properly, he himself walk few 100 meters or he totally depends on us, now question is any chance to recovered.
