چکیده
Results Three randomised controlled trials in patients with acute brain injury. The studies involved a total of one hundred and seventy seven participants. One trial compared mannitol therapy to ‘standard care’ (relative risk (RR) for death = 0.83; 95% CI 0.47;1.46). One trial compared mannitol to phenobarbital (RR for death = 0.85; 95% CI 0.52;1.38). One trial tested the effectiveness of pre-hospital adminstration of mannitol against placebo (RR for death = 1.59; 95% CI 0.44:5.79).
