SALT-CRAMD Syndrome: Saline Acidosis Leading to Tachypnea, Central Respiratory Alkalosis, and Metabolic Derangements
This paper introduces and characterizes "SALT-CRAMD syndrome," a novel iatrogenic condition of metabolic acidosis and respiratory compensation triggered by normal saline irrigation in the ventricular system during neurosurgical procedures, which resolves upon switching to lactated Ringer's solution.
