Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of bicarbonated Ringer's solution on the acid-base balance in patients undergoing abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
The present study was designed to assess whether prophylactic use of bicarbonated Ringer's solution ameliorates metabolic acidosis in patients undergoing aortic surgery. ⋯ Aortic cross-clamping leads to the development of metabolic acidosis, with a decrease in pH and BE. The effect of administration of bicarbonated infusion fluid during elective abdominal aortic surgery had not significant compared with that of acetated Ringer's solution with respect to acid-base homeostasis.
