Brief summary

Mannitol is widely used in patients with elevated intracranial pressure. In neurosurgical field, especially in large size or with brain edema, it is necessary to decrease brain volume to facilitate surgical approach. In general, 0.25 -1.5g of mannitol per kilogram has been known to decrease ICP effectively. But there are some debates in regard to appropriate dose of mannitol.

Detailed description

Previous meta-analysis reported that mannitol has dose-response relationship with intracranial pressure. Another study of Sorani showed dose-response relationship between mannitol and intracranial pressure (ICP) in traumatic brain injury patients. In this study, authors would investigate that mannitol increments can provide more brain relaxation in patients undergoing craniotomy for supratentorial brain tumor removal.

Interventions

DRUG0.25g/kgof 20% mannitol

When the neurosurgeon starts the drilling of skull, 0.25g/kg of 20% mannitol administered through the IV catheter with fulldrip. Neurosurgeon evaluate the degree of brain relaxation after dura opening in 4 point scale ( 1=bulging brain, 2=firm brain, 3-satisfactorily relaxed, 4=perfectly relaxed).

DRUG0.5g/kg of 20% mannitol

When the neurosurgeon starts the drilling of skull, 0.5g/kg of 20% mannitol administered through the IV catheter with fulldrip. Neurosurgeon evaluate the degree of brain relaxation after dura opening in 4 point scale ( 1=bulging brain, 2=firm brain, 3-satisfactorily relaxed, 4=perfectly relaxed).

DRUG1.0g/kg of 20% mannitol

When the neurosurgeon starts the drilling of skull, 1.0g/kg of 20% mannitol administered through the IV catheter with fulldrip. Neurosurgeon evaluate the degree of brain relaxation after dura opening in 4 point scale ( 1=bulging brain, 2=firm brain, 3-satisfactorily relaxed, 4=perfectly relaxed).

DRUG1.5g/kg of 20% mannitol

When the neurosurgeon starts the drilling of skull,1.5g/kg of 20% mannitol administered through the IV catheter with fulldrip. Neurosurgeon evaluate the degree of brain relaxation after dura opening in 4 point scale ( 1=bulging brain, 2=firm brain, 3-satisfactorily relaxed, 4=perfectly relaxed).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
brain parenchymal relaxationintraoperativeBrain relaxation was assessed immediately after opening of the dura on a scale range from 1 to 4 (1=bulging brain, 2=firm brain, 3-satisfactorily relaxed, 4=perfectly relaxed) by neurosurgeon who is blinded to dose of mannitol. 3 and 4 scale means brain relaxed. We would analyse if the success proportion of brain relaxation increase according to the mannitol increment 0.25g/kg, 0.5g/kg, 1.0g/kg and 1.5g/kg using Cochran-Armitage trend test.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Hemodynamic changeat baseline, 30 min, 60min and 180 min after the administration of the study drugCheck the mean arterial blood pressure (ABP), heart rate (HR), central venous pressure (CVP) at baseline, 30min, 60min, and 180 min after skin incision. Baseline value means data of just after anesthetic induction.
Electrolyte changeat baseline, 30 min, 60min and 180 min after the administration of the study drugCheck the serum laboratory result of electrolyte include potassium, sodium immediately before the infusion of mannitol and 30, 60 and 180 min after the administration of the study drug.
Urine outputat just after induction of anesthesia, 30min, 60min and 180 min after mannitl loadingcheck the urine amount at baseline (just after induction of anesthesia), 30min/60min/180min after mannitol loading.
Osmolar gap changeat baseline, 30min, 60min and 180 min after the administration of the study drugCheck the serum osmolarity, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), glucose immediately before the infusion of mannitol and 30, 60, and 180 minutes after the administration of the study drug for calculate the osmolar gap. Osmolar gap (OG) = measured osmolarity - calculated osmolarity Calculated osmolarity = 2x\[Na(mMol)\]+1.15x(\[glucose(mg/dL)/18)+(\[urea(mg/dL)/2.8)

MeasureTime frameDescription
Arterial blood gas analysis (ABGA) changeat baseline, 30min, 60min and 180 min after the administration of the study drugCheck the arterial blood gas analysis include (pH, PaCO2, PaO2, lactate and hematocrit) immediately before the infusion of mannitol and 30, 60, and 180 minutes after the administration of the study drug.
