Mannitol - Essential Use, Critical Contraindication! ⚠️
Mannitol is a potent osmotic diuretic we often rely on. Here's a quick refresher on its key points:
💡 What it does: Increases plasma osmolarity, pulling fluid from tissues.
🧠 Primary Use: Most commonly used to reduce intracranial pressure in cerebral edema. It works by reducing brain water content.
❌ A CRITICAL CAUTION: Do NOT use Mannitol in patients with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)!
Why? 🤔 Because its osmotic effect can draw fluid into the intravascular space, potentially worsening fluid overload and precipitating or aggravating pulmonary edema.
