Key result
Crystalloid resuscitation with Ringer's Lactate to physiologic endpoints did not increase extravascular lung water after aortic surgery compared to Plasmanate.
Why the study?
Does Ringer's Lactate compared to Plasmanate increase extravascular lung water in patients undergoing aortic surgery?
Cohort (n=18)
Does Ringer's Lactate compared to Plasmanate increase extravascular lung water in patients undergoing aortic surgery?
Crystalloid resuscitation to physiologic endpoints does not increase extravascular lung water during aortic surgery, suggesting colloid administration is unnecessary for this purpose.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support crystalloid over colloid to limit lung water after aortic surgery; observational data leaves open randomized confirmation.
Shires et al. (1983) conducted a cohort in Aortic surgery (n=18). Ringer's Lactate (RL) vs. Plasmanate (PL) was evaluated on Extravascular lung water (EVLW). Crystalloid resuscitation with Ringer's Lactate to physiologic endpoints did not increase extravascular lung water after aortic surgery compared to Plasmanate.
