no it can cause hyperkalemia par se by shifting intracellular k to outside because of osmotic drag effect
hyperkalemia worsen hyperkalemia
In a patient with crush injuries of the lower extremities and severe hyperkalemia, the use of potassium-sparing diuretics is not recommended. These medications can further elevate potassium levels, exacerbating hyperkalemia. Instead, treatments such as insulin, calcium gluconate, or sodium bicarbonate should be considered to stabilize the cardiac membrane and promote potassium shift into cells. Additionally, renal interventions like dialysis may be necessary to manage severe hyperkalemia effectively.
Mannitol is generally considered safe when consumed in appropriate amounts as a food additive or medication. However, in some cases, excessive intake can lead to diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and other gastrointestinal issues. It is important to follow recommended dosage guidelines and consult with a healthcare provider if you have concerns about mannitol consumption.
Emergency treatment not recommended for a casualty with crush injuries and severe hyperkalemia would be the administration of potassium-containing fluids or medications, as this can further elevate potassium levels and worsen the condition. Instead, focus should be on stabilizing the casualty, managing their crush injuries, and addressing the underlying cause of hyperkalemia.
Hyperkalemia is a medical diagnosis.

Mannitol is not a substrate for glycolisis
The enzyme primarily responsible for mannitol fermentation is mannitol dehydrogenase. This enzyme catalyzes the conversion of fructose to mannitol in certain microorganisms. In the fermentation process, mannitol is produced as a byproduct, which can then be utilized by various bacteria and yeast for energy. Additionally, some organisms may also have other enzymes that contribute to mannitol metabolism.
Mannitol salt agar inoculated with Micrococcus luteusshowing no fermentation of mannitol (pink medium). The colonies show a yellow pigment which is characteristic of M. luteus.
Mannitol salt agar is selective for gram positive bacteria, and differential for mannitol fermenters. Phenol red is the indicator containing the enzyme mannitol.
