Comparison of Hypertonic Saline and Mannitol on Brain Relaxation During Supratentorial Tumors Resection

Summary

Hyperosmotic agents are used to decrease intracranial pressure. The aim of the study is to compare the effects of continuous 3% hypertonic saline (HS), bolus HS and 20% mannitol on intraoperative brain relaxation in patients with raised intracranial pressure during surgery for supratentorial tumors.
