Colloid to maintain CVP >0 was associated with less post-CEA hypotension; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation before practice change.
Does colloid infusion to maintain central venous pressure above zero prevent postoperative hypotension in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy?
Closely monitored infusion of colloid before, during, and after carotid endarterectomy reduces the incidence of reflex hypotension.
Tarlov et al. (1973) studied this question.
