Urinary Sodium Loss following Hypertonic Saline Administration Curtails its Superior Osmolar Effect in Comparison to Mannitol in Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: A Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial

Urinary Sodium Loss following Hypertonic Saline Administration Curtails its Superior Osmolar Effect in Comparison to Mannitol in Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: A Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial

Background Mannitol and hypertonic saline (HTS) are used as boluses during episodes of raised intracranial pressure (ICP) in severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). We recently demonstrated that ICP reduction and neurological outcomes are similar with mannitol and HTS in TBI. In the current post hoc an...
