Abstract
Fluid restriction, and mannitol with and without concurrent frusemide (Lasix) are being used to decrease intracranial pressure (ICP) and to reduce cerebral edema (Levin et al. 1979, Philip 1979). The relative effects on ICP of both underhydration and mannitol and frusemide administered intravenously were evaluated in comatose patients (Glasgow coma scale less than 8) monitored in an intensive care unit.
