Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[Volume replacement with a new hydroxyethyl starch preparation (3 percent HES 200/0.5) in heart surgery].
In a randomized study including 55 patients undergoing elective aorto-coronary bypass surgery efficacy of a low concentrated hydroxyethylstarch (3% HES 200/0.5) was tested after extracorporeal circulation (ECC). All patients received 1,000 ml autologous washed erythrocytes (cell saver) and 400 ml fresh frozen plasma (FFP). ⋯ With regard to hemodynamic efficiency and the change in laboratory data no relevant differences between group I, II and III could be seen. EVLW-measurement demonstrated the lowest increase in lung water after infusion of HES; simultaneously pulmonary gas exchange was less compromised in comparison to the other infusion groups. 3% HES 200/0.5 solution can be considered as an effective volume substitute with short intravascular retention time, which seems to be of advantage in patients coming off extracorporeal circulation.
