For the patient with head injury and increased Intracranial Pressure (ICP), an osmotic diuretic, such as mannitol, is very helpful. An osmotic diuretic works by creating an osmotic gradient in the blood by the presence of the additional osmolyte (mannitol). In other words, the osmolyte stays in the bloodstream and creates a greater osmotic force to pull water out of tissues and third spaces (interstitium of cerebrum). This aids in alleviating the addition ICP by fluid removal.
The extra fluid that was "sucked" into the bloodstream via osmosis, can then travel to the kidneys and be filtered out into the urine (diuresis). This explains its two purposes as an "osmotic" and a "diuretic."
Development of tissue typing changed organ transplantation as
Tissue typing minimizes the chance of rejection
Explanation:
Before tissue typing the chances of rejection of organs y the body of the person needing a transplant was very high and it was a dangerous procedure with little chance of success.
Tissue typing is a process by which the sample tissue of the donor is matched with the sample tissue of the patient in need of help. This makes it viable for the person to know if the organs will be rejected or not before the actual surgery takes place and has allowed for greater successes in transplant thus.
