A member asked:
Are the effects of cerebral edema from hypotonic solution potentially long-term? why wouldn't they affect long-term?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Transient: When the concentration of fluid outside the cell is less than inside the cell, water travels across the cell wall to equalize the concentrations. If hypotonic fluids are given water will enter the cells but when both sides are equal the swelling will then resolve.
