Rapid Infusion of Hydroxyethyl Starch 70/0.5 but not Acetate Ringer's Solution Decreases the Plasma Concentration of Propofol during Target-controlled Infusion

摘要

Background: Rapid fluid infusion resulting in increased hepatic blood flow may decrease the propofol plasma concentration (Cp) because propofol is a high hepatic extraction drug. The authors investigated the effects of rapid colloid and crystalloid infusions on the propofol Cp during target-controlled infusion.
