It has been brought to our attention that the seventh sentence from paragraph two of Recommendation 17 in our research article 1, published in February 2007, is incorrect.

"A clinical trial with brain injury patients found that hypertonic saline reduces intracranial pressure more effectively than dextran solution with 20% mannitol"

This should read:

"A clinical trial with brain injury patients found that hypertonic saline with dextran reduces intracranial pressure more effectively than 20% mannitol solution when compared in equimolar dosing"
