Experimental Studies on the Intravenous Infusion of Ringer-Locke's Solution containing Soluble Starch.

Infusion of hydroxyethyl starch-containing fluids.

The infusion of hydroxyethylstarch (HES) containing fluids has been extremely common worldwide over the last decade. Until recently, HES was probably the most commonly prescribed colloidal preparation in the world. Such prescription continued despite concerns that starch molecules might accumulate in vital organs and that starch preparations might decrease the coagulability of blood. These conc...

Intraoperative infusion of acetated Ringer solution containing glucose and ionized magnesium reduces ketogenesis and maintains serum magnesium.

The effect of glucose infusion during surgery on glucose metabolism has not been investigated sufficiently. We, therefore, examined the effect after the infusion of 1% glucose acetated Ringer solution containing Mg2+ during surgery on ketogenesis and serum Mg2+ concentrations. Patients, classified as ASA I-II, age 51-80 years, were randomly assigned to receive infusion of acetated Ringer soluti...

Further studies on perfusion of isolated frog's heart with modified Ringer solutions (glucose-Ringer, maltose-Ringer and lactose-Ringer).

The present series of experiments have served to elucidate unequivocally that the performance of isolated frog's heart improves considerably on reduction of sodium chloride to 60 mM/L in the perfusate, and that probably this improvement is not affected by the presence of disaccharides and glucose added to the perfusate so as to maintain isotonicity, although further work is required to corrobor...

Hydroxyethyl starch versus Ringer solution in cardiopulmonary bypass prime solutions (a randomized controlled trial)

BACKGROUND In our study we compared the Ringer solution, which is the standard prime solution of our department, with the HES (Hydroxyethyl starch) 130-0.4 solution, which can be a potential alternative prime solution with an indispensable material for the cardio-pulmonary bypass applications. METHODS 140 patients undergoing to CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Graft surgery) were electively enrol...
