Con: Starches Are Not Preferable to Albumin During Cardiac Surgery:A Contrary Opinion

摘要

With neither class of fluid being accepted as "ideal" for all situations, novel colloid solutions have been introduced. Starches (hydroxyethyl starch [HES]), gels, and dextran solutions are fluids that, although classified as colloids, possess unique properties and differ substantially in their chemical and osmotic properties.9'12 Unfortunately, trials directly comparing HA and various HES solutions have generally been of insufficient quality to show the superiority of one colloid over another. However, these studies have served to highlight potential concerns.
