The use of mannitol in intracerebral bleeds in the medical ICU
Abstract
To determine the effects of mannitol osmotherapy, we reviewed patients admitted to the intensive care unit with a presumptive diagnosis of increased intracranial pressure. The conclusion from our 20-patient study revealed no significant therapeutic benefit using mannitol osmotherapy.
