Abstract:
Twenty-five full term severely asphyxiated newborn babies with cerebral oedema were divided into 2 groups and treated on a randomised basis with either Mannitol or no Mannitol. We report our findings and conclude that Mannitol is of no benefit in the management of cerebral oedema in severely asphyxiated term infants.
