چکیده
Background: Hypertonic saline/dextran (HSD) fluid resuscitation has been demonstrated to be effective in alleviating the adverse effects of hemorrhagic hypotension. The optimal dose of HSD has not been defined. Methods: The comparative effectiveness of various dosages of HSD for the treatment of severe hemorrhage was investigated in conscious swine bled 46 mL/kg over 15 minutes, a lethal procedure. Five minutes after the completion of hemorrhage, animals were treated with 1, 2, 4, or 11.5 mL/kg HSD and observed over the next 96 hours. Results: The 11.5-mL dose resulted in 100% survival, which was statistically superior to the 1and 2-mL doses but not the 4-mL dose. Survival incidences with 4, 2, and 1 mL/kg were 83%, 64%, and 13%, respectively. Conclusion: In terms of survival time, the 11.5and 4-mL/kg doses were not significantly different. Therefore, optimum resuscitative effectiveness of HSD is achieved within the dose range of 4 to 11.5 mL/kg.

متن کاملBenefit of slow infusion of hypertonic saline/dextran in swine with uncontrolled aortotomy hemorrhage.
In laboratory models of uncontrolled hemorrhage, immediate resuscitation from hemorrhage is associated with high mortality. However, in clinical practice, resuscitation is often delayed and the rate of fluid administration is limited. We hypothesized that a slow rate of infusion after delayed resuscitation, reflecting the clinical environment, might improve survival in the presence of uncontrol...
متن کاملResuscitation of intraoperative hypovolemia: a comparison of normal saline and hyperosmotic/hyperoncotic solutions in swine.
BACKGROUND AND METHODS We compared a hypertonic saline-dextran solution (7.5% NaCl/6% dextran-70) with 0.9% NaCl (normal saline) for treatment of intraoperative hypovolemia. Fourteen anesthetized pigs (mean weight 36.3 +/- 2.1 kg) underwent thoracotomy, followed by hemorrhage for 1 hr to reduce mean arterial pressure to 45 mm Hg. A continuous infusion of either solution was then initiated and t...
متن کاملA comparison of hypertonic to isotonic fluid in the resuscitation of brain injury and hemorrhagic shock.
We studied the early and late effects of hypertonic resuscitation (HR) on the injured brain using a porcine model of hemorrhagic shock and focal cryogenic brain injury. After shock, swine were randomly assigned to receive a bolus (4 cc/kg) of either Ringers lactate (RL) or 7.5% hypertonic saline in 6% Dextran 70, followed by either RL or hypertonic sodium lactate to restore mean arterial pressu...
متن کاملSmall-volume fluid resuscitation for the far-forward combat environment: current concepts.
Hemorrhage remains the primary cause of death on the battlefield in conventional warfare. With modern combat operations leading to the likelihood of significant time delays in air evacuation of casualties and long transport times, the immediate goals of the Army's Science and Technology Objectives in Resuscitation are to develop limited- or small-volume fluid resuscitation strategies, including...
