Study summary

Osmotherapy with mannitol has been a common practice in patients with raised ICP. Monitoring its effect on ICP can be performed invasively and non-invasively. Due to a validated correlation between invasive ICP monitoring and ONSD measurement, it can be a tool to monitor acute and long term effects of osmotherapy non-invasively on ICP. This study examines the acute changes in sonographically measured ONSD brought about by the administration of mannitol. This can correlate with the changes in ICP in such patients and can be utilized as a tool for decision making/ point-of-care utility.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective cohort based observational study including 40 patients admitted in the adult ICU at our center diagnosed as either a case of TBI/ acute stroke/ intracranial hemorrhages with a mean screening ONSD of more than 5mm under mannitol osmotherapy. ONSD were measured by a high frequency linear array probe (>10 Hz) at the time of screening. Mannitol was then administered at doses prescribed by the treating physician over 20-30 minutes via a dedicated intravenous line. ONSDs were measured again at 30, 60 and 120 minutes after completion of administration of mannitol. Demographic data, baseline ventilator parameters of patients on mechanical ventilation, GCS and mean arterial pressure at each time points were recorded. Comparison of variables at these time points were made.

Interventions

  • DeviceOptic nerve sheath diameter measurement

    ONSD measurements done at screening (T1), 30 minutes after mannitol infusion (T2), 60 minutes (T3) and 120 minutes (T4)

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. optic nerve sheath diameter at 30, 60 and 120 minutes after mannitol administration

    Change in optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD)

    Time frame: 30, 60 and 120 minutes

Secondary outcomes

  1. Correlation between change in ONSD and Mean arterial pressure

    Correlation with change in ONSD and Mean arterial pressure

    Time frame: 30, 60, and 120 minutes

  2. Correlation between dose and change in ONSD

    Dose subgroups of \<0.5gm/kg and \>/= 0.5 gm/kg were compared and the correlated with changes in ONSD.

    Time frame: 30, 60 and 120 minutes

Other outcomes

  1. Comparison of ONSD values among ventilated and non-ventilated patients

    Comparison of ONSD values among ventilated and non-ventilated patients at 30,60 and 120 minutes

    Time frame: 30, 60 and 120 minutes

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Feb 2019 to primary completion in Aug 2019, 6 months.

Of 47 non-industry observational studies under Intracranial Hypertension, half reached primary completion within 31 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 95. This study's 6 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 50 studies reached it within 31 months; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 62.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 16, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
