 Mannitol may be required to reduce ICP and can be given before induction (0.15–2.5 g/kg, IV over 20 minutes).Its routine use has been questioned for emergency treatment of head injury in people.

 Fluid balance should be assessed and corrected if necessary.Avoid excessive doses of crystalloids in case of worsening cerebral edema.

 Consider using hypertonic saline for head trauma patients, especially foals, as it may be more effective than mannitol in reducing ICP.
