Therefore, the overall conclusion is that although mannitol decreases edema in ICH at first,[16,17] according to the three following mechanisms, it finally widens ICH, thus, its use is not recommended. There are some of limitation in our study included, lack of sample size and there is no control group.
Can we give mannitol in hemorrhagic stroke?
Mannitol infusion in patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage can improve cerebral blood flow in bilateral hemispheres and decrease intracranial pressure in the hemorrhagic hemisphere (250ml) and in the nonhemorrhagic hemisphere (125ml and 250ml).
Why mannitol is given in cerebral edema?
Mannitol is the most popular osmotic agent. Osmotic therapy using mannitol reduces ICP by mechanisms that remain unclear. Mannitol is thought to decrease brain volume by decreasing overall water content, to reduce blood volume by vasoconstriction, to reduce CSF volume by decreasing water content.
