BackgroundThe volume effect of iso-oncotic colloid is supposedly larger than crystalloid, but such differences are dependent on clinical context. The purpose of this single center observational study was to compare the volume and hemodynamic effects of crystalloid solution and colloid solution during surgical manipulation in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery.MethodsSubjects undergoing abdominal surgery for malignancies with intraoperative goal-directed fluid management were enrolled in this observational study. Fluid challenges consisted with 250 ml of either bicarbonate Ringer solution, 6% hydroxyethyl starch or 5% albumin were provided to maintain optimal stroke volume index. Hematocrit derived-plasma volume and colloid osmotic pressure was determined immediately before and 30 min after the fluid challenge. Data were expressed as median (IQR) and statistically compared with Kruskal-Wallis test.ResultsOne hundred thirty-nine fluid challenges in 65 patients were analyzed. Bicarbonate Ringer solution, 6% hydroxyethyl starch and 5% albumin were administered in 42, 49 and 48 instances, respectively. Plasma volume increased 7.3 (3.6-10.0) % and 6.3 (1.4-8.8) % 30 min after the fluid challenge with 6% hydroxyethyl starch and 5% albumin and these values are significantly larger than the value with bicarbonate Ringer solution (1.0 (- 2.7-2.3) %) Colloid osmotic pressure increased 0.6 (0.2-1.2) mmHg after the fluid challenge with 6% hydroxyethyl starch and 0.7(0.2-1.3) mmHg with 5% albumin but decreased 0.6 (0.2-1.2) mmHg after the fluid challenge with bicarbonate Ringer solution. The area under the curve of stroke volume index after fluid challenge was significantly larger after 6% hydroxyethyl starch or 5% albumin compared to bicarbonate Ringer solution.ConclusionsFluid challenge with 6% hydroxyethyl starch and 5% albumin showed significantly larger volume and hemodynamic effects compared to bicarbonate Ringer solution during gastrointestinal surgery.Trial RegistrationUMIN Clinical Trial Registry UMIN000017964.
