Caution against HSDex resuscitation in shock with coronary stenosis; leaves open targeted perfusion strategies in post-stenotic ischemia.
Does resuscitation with hypertonic saline/dextran improve regional myocardial blood flow, contractile function, and oxygen metabolism compared to normal saline in a porcine model of hemorrhagic shock with critical coronary stenosis?
In a porcine model of hemorrhagic shock with critical coronary stenosis, resuscitation with hypertonic saline/dextran or normal saline failed to restore perfusion pressure or reverse ischemia in post-stenotic myocardium.
