MM - hypertonic saline in TBI patients

Hypertonic saline (3%) has been used in the treatment of traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients with brain edema with the goal of pulling fluid from the brain into the intravascular space. Recently a systemic review of RTCs (randomized control trials) was done to see if this was efficacious.

Bottom Line: there was no proven benefit of hypertonic saline in the patient's mortality, but there was neither harm. So it is just one expensive bag of salt!!!
