Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The current issue of Journal of Emergencies Trauma and Shock has an article by Busey et al., who have compared fixed dose versus weight-based dosing of 23.4% hypertonic saline (HTS) to reduce intracranial hypertension (ICH) in traumatic brain injury. Busey et al. Authors did not find a significant difference in any of the above approaches. Busey et al. HTS has also been compared by many authors with mannitol; however, according to a recent Cochrane meta-analysis, none was superior to the other in its efficacy in the reduction of ICH in traumatic brain injury patients.[2]
