title: [Volume replacement with a new hydroxyethyl starch preparation (3 percent HES 200/0.5) in heart surgery].
abstract: In a randomized study including 55 patients undergoing elective aorto-coronary bypass surgery efficacy of a low concentrated hydroxyethylstarch (3% HES 200/0.5) was tested after extracorporeal circulation (ECC). All patients received 1,000 ml autologous washed erythrocytes (cell saver) and 400 ml fresh frozen plasma (FFP). Thereafter patients were randomized into 4 groups. Hemodynamic parameters, laboratory parameters as well as extravascular lung water (EVLW - double indicator dilution technique) were measured before ECC as well as before and after infusion therapy. With regard to hemodynamic efficiency and the change in laboratory data no relevant differences between group I, II and III could be seen. EVLW-measurement demonstrated the lowest increase in lung water after infusion of HES; simultaneously pulmonary gas exchange was less compromised in comparison to the other infusion groups. 3% HES 200/0.5 solution can be considered as an effective volume substitute with short intravascular retention time, which seems to be of advantage in patients coming off extracorporeal circulation.
