Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The overall purpose of this study is to compare the effects of mannitol and hypertonic saline on patients with increased intracranial pressure. The hypothesis being tested is that hypertonic saline is more effective in controlling increased intracranial pressure than mannitol.
