1,2,3 -- Mannitol should be administered with an in-line filter and the solution should be checked for presence of crystals. If observed, do not administer the solution. Monitoring of CVP and PAP, vital signs, and urinary output should be done before and hourly during administration. The patient should be assessed for signs of dehydration since Mannitol is a diuretic. Do not discontinue the drug abruptly as rebound migraine headaches may occur.
