#Maintain electrolytes and prevent internal bleeding. Once the brain swelling is under control, doctors must also make sure that electrolytes (electrically charged minerals) in the blood are maintained because reducing fluid in the body with diuretics can deplete electrolytes.<ref>https://ift.tt/2RVXZ97> Electrolytes are needed to control the movement of fluid between cells and allow for electrical signals to travel within nerves. Intravenous fluids consisting of glucose (for energy) and an electrolyte solution are usually given through an intravenous (IV) line while in the hospital.[[Image:Tell if You Have Reye's Syndrome Step 7.jpg|center]]
