Abstract

Mannitol is an agent widely used to treat hyperosmolarity in cases of increased intracranial pressure after acute traumatic brain injury (TBI). Hypertonic saline is an alternative agent in such cases but is still not well-recognized in daily practice. Thus, a literature searching was conducted to see whether mannitol is more effective and safer than hypertonic saline in reducing intracranial pressure in patients with cerebral edema post TBI. The results of literature searching using PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Review showed that there is no clear evidence suggesting mannitol is better than hypertonic saline, and vice versa. Therefore, hypertonic saline should be considered as an alternative treatment for hyperosmolarity besides mannitol
