Update on transfusion solutions during surgery: review of hydroxyethyl starches 130/0.4

چکیده
OBJECTIVES Restoration of circulation is crucial in the surgical patient management. Colloids and crystalloids are widely used for blood volume therapy. We reviewed recent trials to evaluate efficacy and safety of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 during surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS A subjective, not systematic, review of literature was performed. Papers were searched to answer questions about efficacy of HES, its impact on coagulation and inflammation and its effects on pulmonary mechanics and renal function. CONCLUSIONS HES 130/0.4 is effective for volume therapy and is less expensive than human albumin. Its effects on coagulation and renal function are manageable; it may ameliorate pulmonary permeability and reduce inflammation.

The impact of hydroxyethyl starches in cardiac surgery: a meta-analysis
INTRODUCTION Recent studies in septic patients showed that adverse effects of hydroxyethyl starches (HESs) possibly outweigh their benefits in severely impaired physiological haemostasis. It remains unclear whether this also applies to patient populations that are less vulnerable. In this meta-analysis, we evaluated the impact of various HES generations on safety and efficacy endpoints in patie...
متن کاملLarge-dose hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 does not increase blood loss and transfusion requirements in coronary artery bypass surgery compared with hydroxyethyl starch 200/0.5 at recommended doses.
BACKGROUND Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 may impair blood coagulation less than other HES solutions and, thus, may be used at larger doses without increasing the risk of postoperative bleeding. This study tested the hypothesis that volume replacement with 6% HES 130/0.4 at a dose of up to 50 ml/kg does not increase blood loss and transfusion requirements in elective coronary artery bypass s...

In a retrospective study by a Canadian team [1], pentastarch infusion was a dose-related independent risk factor for acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery. In a new retrospective cardiac surgery study by that team [2], 83% of patients received hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/ 0.4. For unexplained reasons, 25 to 43% of patients received both HES 130/0.4 and pentastarch. The team 'hypothe...

متن کاملHydroxyethyl starch 6%, 130/0.4 vs. a balanced crystalloid solution in cardiopulmonary bypass priming: a randomized, prospective study
BACKGROUND Since the advent of cardiopulmonary bypass, many efforts have been made to avoid the complications related with it. Any component of the pump participates in occurrence of these adverse events, one of which is the type of prime solution. In this study, we aimed to compare the effects of 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 with a commonly used balanced electrolyte solution on postoperative...
