Observational StudyFluid resuscitation after severe trauma injury : U-shaped associations between tetrastarch dose and survival time or frequency of acute kidney failure.
Using tetrastarch for fluid resuscitation after a severe trauma injury may increase risks of death and acute kidney injury. The importance of tetrastarch dose, however, is unknown. ⋯ There was a complex U‑shaped association between the tetrastarch dose and morbidity/mortality of patients after a severe trauma injury. The optimal crystalloid/tetrastarch ratio for acute shock management appears to range from about 2.5 to 4.0.
