Warnings & precautions in children

Mannitol may accumulate after several doses causing a reverse osmotic effect. The serum osmolality must remain below 320 mOsmol/kg due to the risk of acute renal failure. When administered rapidly there may possibly be a temporary increase in cerebral blood flow (CBF) and intracranial pressure. At low temperatures and particularly at higher concentrations, crystallization can occur; use a 5-micron filter. Monitor for abnormal electrolyte balance and for signs of pulmonary congestion and cardiac failure. Watch out for anuria.
