Time-dependent efficacy and safety of hypertonic saline versus mannitol in pediatric traumatic brain injury: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract

In pediatric TBI, hypertonic saline and mannitol provide comparable efficacy for ICP reduction and mortality, with HTS demonstrating rapid ICP lowering and manageable safety signals. While HTS is generally well tolerated, further high-quality multicenter RCTs with standardized protocols and long-term outcomes are needed to clarify its clinical advantages over mannitol.
