His serum potassium levels subsequently decreased, while his intracranial pressure (ICP) simultaneously increased. Over the next 24聽hours, he received maximal doses of mannitol [ dosage and route not stated ], as well as potassium, norepinephrine [noradrenaline] and increased sedation and analgesia....
It has been suggested as a plasticizer in soft-gelatin capsules, as a component of sustained-release tablet formulations,and as a carrier in dry powder inhalers.It is also used as a diluent in rapidly dispersing oral dosage forms.It is used in food applications as a bulking agent. ...
There is evidence that, in prolonged dosage, mannitol may pass from the blood into the brain, where it might cause increased intracranial pressure.To assess the effects of different mannitol therapy regimens, of mannitol compared to other intracranial pressure (ICP) lowering agents, and to quantify...
Important aspects needing further investigation include: 1) bolus administration versus continuous infusion, 2) ICP-based dosing versus scheduled bolus, 3) identifying the optimal infusion rate, 4) determining the appropriate dosage, 5) establishing fluid replacement plans for urinary loss, and 6) ...

The Combined Use of Mannitol and Furosemide in Treatment of Elevated Intracranial Pressure: Timing, Dosage and DeliveryThe effective use of combined mannitol and furosemide for the treatment of elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) has been previously described by Pollay, et al., 1983. In that study...
