Why the study?
Does colloid administration compared to crystalloid administration improve pulmonary extravascular water in patients after CABG?
Does colloid administration compared to crystalloid administration improve pulmonary extravascular water in patients after CABG?
The type of fluid administered (colloid vs crystalloid) for postoperative volume replacement after CABG does not significantly influence pulmonary extravascular water in patients without postoperative increases in wedge pressure.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
No ETVL difference with colloids versus crystalloids after CABG; leaves open optimal fluid strategies pending randomized confirmation.
