The effect of mannitol on renal function after cardiopulmonary bypass in patients with preoperative renal dysfunction

The influence of mannitol on the volume of fluid given to adult patients during cardiopulmonary bypass

“…Mannitol, an osmotic diuretic, is often used in the prime with the aim of minimising renal damage. Although mannitol has no effect on renal function [1,2] we have noticed that it reduces the amount of additional fluid given to maintain reservoir volume. This study aims at examining the effects of mannitol on fluid balance during cardiopulmonary bypass.…”
