AIMOsmotherapy constitutes a first-line intervention for intracranial hypertension management. However, hyperosmolar solutes exert various systematic effects, among which their impact on systemic haemodynamics is poorly clarified. This review aims to appraise the clinical evidence of the effect of mannitol and hypertonic saline (HTS) on cardiac performance in neurosurgical and neurocritical care patients. METHODA database search was conducted to identify randomized clinical trials and observational studies reporting HTS or mannitol use in acute brain injury setting. The primary end-points were alterations of cardiac output (CO) and other haemodynamic variables, while the impact of osmotic agents on intracranial pressure, brain relaxation, plasma osmolality, electrolyte levels and urinary output constituted secondary outcomes. RESULTSEight studies, enrolling 182 patients in total, were included. HTS exerted a more profound cardiac output augmentation than mannitol, but no distinct difference between groups occurred. Central venous pressure, stroke volume and stroke volume variation were favourably affected by both osmotic agents, whilst the reported changes in blood pressure were inconclusive. HTS infusion yielded a larger intracranial pressure reduction than mannitol but had an equivalent effect on brain relaxation. Mannitol presented a more potent diuretic effect than HTS. Effect on serum osmolality was alike in both osmotic agents, but contrary to HTS-promoted hypernatraemia, mannitol use induced transient hyponatraemia. CONCLUSIONSMannitol or HTS administration seems to induce an enhancement of cardiac performance; being more prominent after HTS infusion. This effect combined with mannitol-induced enhancement of diuresis and HTS-promoted increase of plasma sodium concentration could partially explain the effects of osmotherapy on cerebral haemodynamics. British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS SUBJECT• Osmotherapy with either mannitol or hypertonic saline (HTS) is the recommended first-line medical intervention for optimizing cerebral perfusion through brain relaxation.• Mannitol has long been used as osmotic agent for ensuring brain relaxation in neurosurgical patients undergoing craniotomy, but the clinical benefit of mannitol infusion in acute brain injury setting, has not yet been proven according to evidence-based medicine.• Recent guidelines suggest the use of HTS as a second-line therapy in case mannitol fails to reduce intracranial pressure, in patients sustaining traumatic brain injury. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS• Both mannitol and HTS induce an increase in cardiac output, which is more pronounced after HTS than mannitol administration.• Mannitol and HTS infusion are associated with a trend towards to mean arterial pressure and heart rate reduction.• Both osmotic agents induced an intracranial pressure reduction and brain relaxation, an effect that seems to be more prominent in HTS-treated patients.

“…[16][17][18][19][20] Besides the mechanism of osmotic dehydration, HS also has the effect of antibrain edema through the mechanism of non-osmotic dehydration, such as antiinflammatory. 8,21 In recent years, it has been found that the crosstalk between microglia and astrocytes plays a central role in regulating inflammation in the brain. Activated microglia can release inflammatory factors (ie, IL-1β), which can activate astrocytes and upregulate glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) expression.…”

Hypertonic saline mediates the NLRP3/IL‐1β signaling axis in microglia to alleviate ischemic blood‐brain barrier permeability by downregulating astrocyte‐derived VEGF in rats

Introduction The aim of this study was to explore whether the antibrain edema of hypertonic saline (HS) is associated with alleviating ischemic blood‐brain barrier (BBB) permeability by downregulating astrocyte‐derived vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which is mediated by microglia‐derived NOD‐like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome. Methods The infarct volume and BBB permeability were detected. The protein expression level of VEGF in astrocytes in a transient focal brain ischemia model of rats was evaluated after 10% HS treatment. Changes in the NLRP3 inflammasome, IL‐1β protein expression, and the interleukin‐1 receptor (IL1R1)/pNF‐кBp65/VEGF signaling pathway were determined in astrocytes. Results HS alleviated the BBB permeability, reduced the infarct volume, and downregulated the expression of VEGF in astrocytes. HS downregulates IL‐1β expression by inhibiting the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in microglia and then downregulates VEGF expression by inhibiting the phosphorylation of NF‐кBp65 mediated by IL‐1β in astrocytes. Conclusions HS alleviated the BBB permeability, reduced the infarct volume, and downregulated the expression of VEGF in astrocytes. HS downregulated IL‐1β expression via inhibiting the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in microglia and then downregulated VEGF expression through inhibiting the phosphorylation of NF‐кBp65 mediated by IL‐1β in astrocytes.

“…Multiple reports exist documenting a potentially more beneficial effect in reducing ICP associated with hypertonic saline as compared with mannitol. 34,35 Administration of furosemide (0.7 mg/kg) before administration of mannitol has a synergistic effect in lowering ICP. Currently, there is no evidence to support that mannitol is contraindicated in cases of intracranial hemorrhage, as has previously been suggested.…”
