Administering mannitol is a medical procedure used to reduce intracranial pressure, treat acute renal failure, or relieve tissue swelling. Mannitol is an osmotically active substance that attracts fluid from tissues into the bloodstream, thereby reducing swelling and helping to maintain the balance of electrolytes and fluids in the body. This procedure is performed under the mandatory supervision of a doctor, as it requires careful monitoring of the patient's condition and reaction to the infusion.

Mannitol infusion is usually given intravenously, and the doctor first assesses the patient's condition, determines the required amount of mannitol and the rate of infusion. The infusion is carried out slowly and in a controlled manner, with constant monitoring of vital parameters (blood pressure, pulse, electrolytes, kidney function) in order to prevent possible complications, such as dehydration, electrolyte imbalances or an increase in kidney load. During the infusion, the doctor must be present to react in case of any irregularities or side effects.

The duration of the mannitol infusion usually lasts from 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the patient's condition and response to treatment. The procedure can be adjusted according to the patient's needs, and the doctor carefully monitors the patient's reactions during and after the infusion. After the end of the infusion, the patient remains under the doctor's supervision for some time, until the stability of the condition and the normalization of vital functions are ensured.
