A hypertonic saline and traumatic brain injury has a close interconnection between. As an osmotherapeutic agent, hypertonic saline may have been used as possible substitutes for early known agent – manitol. A suggested algorithm in the treatment of traumatic brain injury (TBI) as cerebral resuscitation is shown in below diagram.

Below algorithm diagram appears steps should be applied by physicians when monitoring Intra Cranial Pressure related to severe traumatic brain injury in children or infants. The treatment algorithm was made for established intracranial hypertension in the co-relation with risk/benefit ratio of individual treatment maneuvers, according to a book reference you may download later.

intracranial hypertension monitoring

This pediatric brain injury trauma algorithm shows steps from scoring GCS value, maintaining Intra Cranial Pressure (ICP) until when second-tier therapy is being contemplated. Also, you will be provided with an algorithm for differentiating second-tier maneuvers that possibly happen.
