    Mannitol is an osmotic diuretic that works by increasing plasma osmotic pressure and inhibiting tubular reabsorption of water and electrolytes. This enhances water flow from tissues and reduces intracranial and intraocular pressures. Mannitol is indicated to test for oliguria, prevent oliguria during surgeries, reduce intracranial pressure, and for irrigation. Common side effects include headache, nausea, vomiting, and electrolyte abnormalities like hypernatremia, hyponatremia, and hypokalemia. Contraindications include active intracranial bleeding, anuria from renal disease, and progressive heart or lung issues.
