Description
Summary:Highlights • The mannitol and furosemide-mannitol combination provides similar degree brain relaxation in supratentorial tumor surgery. • Furosemide with low or high doses of mannitol may cause electrolyte imbalance and high lactate levels. • Moreover high urine out-put and negative intra-operative fluid balance may occur. • 0.5 g kg−1 mannitol provides enough brain relaxation without causing systemic side effects.
