The safety and efficacy of osmotic therapy with mannitol and 3% saline in the pediatric head-injured population has been widely reported; the use of 23.4% saline in children for the treatment of refractory intracranial hypertension has not. The clinical and physiologic responses of multiple 23.4% saline boluses in two children with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) are presented. No complications were associated with the use of 23.4% saline in either patient.
