Comparison of Equiosmolar Doses of 7.5% Hypertonic Saline and 20% Mannitol on Cerebral Oxygenation Status and Release of Brain Injury Markers During Supratentorial Craniotomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
J Neurosurg Anesthesiol
January 2023
Background: Hyperosmolar therapy is the mainstay of treatment to reduce brain bulk and optimize surgical exposure during craniotomy. This study investigated the effect of equiosmolar doses of 7.5% hypertonic saline (HTS) and 20% mannitol on intraoperative cerebral oxygenation and metabolic status, systemic hemodynamics, brain relaxation, markers of cerebral injury, and perioperative craniotomy outcomes.
