Core Tip Electrolyte tests are used for monitoring physiological stress in traumatic brain injury. Basic electrolyte calculations assist in evaluating fluid shifts and cerebral edema. This review highlights electrolyte-derived indices to guide management and prognosis. It promotes precision care by emphasizing the use of corrected values. Future research should focus on standardizing these indexes for clinical application.
