Why the study?
Does Ringer's acetate compared with colloid fluids affect fluid balance and pulmonary functions in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery?
Does Ringer's acetate compared with colloid fluids affect fluid balance and pulmonary functions in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery?
Ringer's acetate is a safe and more cost-effective alternative to colloid fluids for volume replacement during and after CABG surgery, without adversely affecting pulmonary functions or 48-hour fluid balance.

Supports Ringer's acetate as equivalent alternative to colloids in CABG; extends RCT evidence favoring crystalloids for perioperative volume management.
