Trial 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. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Can Mannitol Increments Provide More Brain Relaxation in Patients Undergoing Craniotomy for Supratentorial Brain Tumor Removal?

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.

Read the 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.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • 0.25g/kgof 20% mannitolDrug

    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).

  • 0.5g/kg of 20% mannitolDrug

    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).

  • 1.0g/kg of 20% mannitolDrug

    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).

  • 1.5g/kg of 20% mannitolDrug

    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).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. brain parenchymal relaxation

    Brain 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.

    Measured: intraoperative

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Hemodynamic change

    Check 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.

    Measured: at baseline, 30 min, 60min and 180 min after the administration of the study drug

  2. Electrolyte change

    Check 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.

    Measured: at baseline, 30 min, 60min and 180 min after the administration of the study drug

  3. Brain relaxation score

    Brain 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.

    Measured: intraoperative

  4. Urine output

    check the urine amount at baseline (just after induction of anesthesia), 30min/60min/180min after mannitol loading.

    Measured: at just after induction of anesthesia, 30min, 60min and 180 min after mannitl loading

  5. Osmolar gap change

    Check 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)

    Measured: at baseline, 30min, 60min and 180 min after the administration of the study drug
