Abstract

It was the purpose of the following study to compare effects of 6% hydroxyethyl starch 200/0.5 (HES) and albumin 5% (HA5) on haemostasis, haemodynamics, oncotic function and plasmatic homoeostasis. In 2 randomised groups of 20 patients each undergoing large surgery (criteria of exclusion: anaemia, renal, liver, and coagulation disorders, ASA classification > III) we treated up to 1000 ml with colloid solution, from 1000 ml up to 5000 ml with packed red blood cells (PRBC) and colloid solution (1:1) and above 5000 ml with PRBC and fresh frozen plasma (1:1). Group HES received HES and group HA5 albumin as exclusive colloid component and both continuously lactated Ringers' at a rate of 500 ml/h. We measured the parameters before operation, after each 1000 ml colloid up to 3000 ml application and at the end of operation and we registered total blood output/intake. We found comparable amounts of blood loss and blood intake (mean total amount of colloid solution: HES 2044 +/- 579 ml; HA5 2547 +/- 980 ml). We didn't find any differences in haemodynamics nor in haematocrit, platelets or global coagulation parameters which only showed dilutional influences. Differences existed in total serum protein (HES 32.8 +/- 6.5 gr/l; HA5 54 +/- 5.5...Continue Reading

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
