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 […]
Influence of cell-free Hb on local tissue perfusion and oxygenation in acute anemia after isovolemic hemodilution.
This experimental study shows that, in hamsters, exchange transfusion with polymerized bovine hemoglobin to a hemoglobin content of 6.7 g/dL failed to maintain tissue oxygenation and in-vivo functional capillary density […]
