Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 provides larger and faster increases in tissue oxygen tension in comparison with prehemodilution values than HES 70/0.5 or HES 200/0.5 in volunteers undergoing acute normovolemic hemodilution.
This prospective randomized double-blinded crossover study demonstrated that hydroxyethyl starch specifications (in vitro molecular weight, degree and pattern of substitution) could significantly alter muscular tissue oxygen tension used as an […]
The in vitro effects of crystalloids and colloids on coagulation.
Worth a close look for those with a specialist interest in this area. Adds to a fast growing body of literature on the various effects of i.v. solutions on coagulation […]
Possible role of recombinant activated factor VII (RFVIIa) in the control of hemorrhage associated with massive trauma.
This is a report on the largest series on the use of rFVIIa in treating patients suffering from uncontrolled bleeding as a result of trauma in spite of surgical treatment […]
Recombinant activated factor VII for adjunctive hemorrhage control in trauma.
This is a relatively new area for using rFVIIa, which is to treat uncontrolled haemorrhage in patients with severe trauma, following the earlier report of using rFVIIa successfully in treating […]
