Hypertonic saline versus other intracranial pressure-lowering agents for people with acute traumatic brain injury.
The Cochrane database of systematic reviews 20200117
<h4>Background</h4>Increased intracranial pressure has been shown to be strongly associated with poor neurological outcomes and mortality for patients with acute traumatic brain injury. Currently, most efforts to treat these injuries focus on controlling the intracranial pressure. Hypertonic saline is a hyperosmolar therapy that is used in traumatic brain injury to reduce intracranial pressure. The effectiveness of hypertonic saline compared with other intracranial pressure-lowering agents in th ...[more]
