Indications

Type

Pharmacology

Administration

Caution

A

Elevated intracranial pressure due to cerebral edema. Also for intraocular pressure.

Osmotic diuretic

Hinders tubular reabsorption of H2O and enhances Na and Cl excretion. Move H2O from intracellular space to extracellular and vascular space.

1 G / kg (max 200G) < 30 min
With special tubing.

Do not give with blood products or potassium chloride.

Contraindications: severe pulmonary vascular congestion or pulmonary edema, active intracranial bleeding, anuria, hypovolemia.
