[PMID: 38601061 PMCID: PMC11004621 DOI: 10.1016/j.rpth.2024.102382] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2024] [Accepted: 03/08/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Despite systematic thromboprophylaxis, 30% of the COVID-19 patients in intensive care units develop thrombosis. This occurrence is associated with a hypofibrinolytic state measured by thromboelastometry when adding tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) to citrated whole blood for a further run for EXTEM (ROTEM). Objectives Because hydroxyethyl starches (HESs) affect fibrin polymerization, we have assessed its potential effect on in vitro tPA-induced fibrinolysis. Methods Fifteen successive COVID-19 patients from the local intensive care units were selected for tPA resistance occurrence. HES was added to whole blood samples with proportion similar to the pharmacologic recommendations. Samples were run for EXTEM on a ROTEM delta device after further addition of tPA. Paired controls were whole blood samples with the same volume of saline added. To assess the impact of HES on coagulation, thrombin generation was measured in 10 COVID-19 patients in the presence of either HES or saline; then, the clots obtained were used to generate electron microscope images. Results Clot firmness at 5 minutes and the lysis index at 30 minutes were decreased in presence of HES compared with saline (Wilcoxon test, P < .01 for HES vs saline and HES vs untreated). However, no statistically significant difference was observed for all thrombin generation assay parameters studied (endogenous thrombin potential, peak thrombin, and time to peak). With HES, fibrin fibers of either COVID-19 patients or control subjects were thicker than those of saline-treated samples. Conclusion These results highlight that HES increased apparent in vitro tPA-induced fibrinolysis in case of severe COVID-19 disease. Use of this plasma volume expander may translate as a potential help against COVID-19-induced thrombosis occurrence.

Abstract
Introduction Brain edema is the most frequent postoperative complication after brain tumor resection, especially in patients with high-grade glioma. However, the effect of SVV-based goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) on postoperative brain edema and the prognosis remain unclear. Methods and analysis This is a prospective, randomized, double-blinded, parallel-controlled trial aiming to observe whether stroke volume variation (SVV)-based GDFT could improve the postoperative brain edema in patients undergoing supratentorial high-grade gliomas compared with traditional fluid therapy. The patient will be given 3 ml/kg hydroxyethyl starch solution when the SVV is greater than 15% continuously for more than 5 min intraoperatively. The primary outcome will be postoperative cerebral edema volume on brain CT within 24 h. Ethics and dissemination This trial has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03323580) and approved by the Ethics Committee of Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University (reference number: KY2017-067-02). The findings will be disseminated in peer-reviewed journals and presented at national or international conferences relevant to the subject fields. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03323580 (First posted: October 27, 2017; Last update posted: February 11, 2022).

Abstract
Colloids, known as volume expanders, have been used as resuscitation fluids for hypovolemic shock for decades, as they increase plasma oncotic pressure and expand intravascular volume. However, recent studies show that commonly used synthetic colloids have adverse interactions with human biological systems. In this work, a low-fouling amine(N)-oxide-based zwitterionic polymer as an alternative volume expander with improved biocompatibility and efficacy is designed. It is demonstrated that the polymer possesses antifouling ability, resisting cell interaction and deposition in major organs, and is rapidly cleared via renal filtration and hepatic circulation, reducing the risk of long-term side effects. Furthermore, in vitro and in vivo studies show an absence of adverse effects on hemostasis or any acute safety risks. Finally, it is shown that, in a head-to-head comparison with existing colloids and plasma, the zwitterionic polymer serves as a more potent oncotic agent for restoring intravascular volume in a hemorrhagic shock model. The design of N-oxide-based zwitterionic polymers may lead to the development of alternative fluid therapies to treat hypovolemic shock and to improve fluid management in general.

Biomarkers of Coagulation and Inflammation in Dogs after Randomized Administration of 6% Hydroxyethyl Starch 130/0.4 or Hartmann's Solution. Animals (Basel) 2022; 12:ani12192691. [PMID: 36230433 PMCID: PMC9558523 DOI: 10.3390/ani12192691] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2022] [Revised: 09/30/2022] [Accepted: 10/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Synthetic colloid fluids containing hydroxyethyl starch (HES) have been associated with impairment of coagulation in dogs. It is unknown if HES causes coagulation impairment in dogs with naturally occurring critical illness. This study used banked plasma samples from a blinded, randomized clinical trial comparing HES and balanced isotonic crystalloid for bolus fluid therapy in 39 critically ill dogs. Blood was collected prior to fluid administration and 6, 12, and 24 h thereafter. Coagulation biomarkers measured at each time point included prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, thrombin time, fibrinogen concentration, and the activities of coagulation factors V, VII, VIII, IX, and X, von Willebrand factor antigen, antithrombin, and protein C. Given the links between coagulation and inflammation, cytokine concentrations were also measured, including interleukins 6, 8, 10, and 18, keratinocyte-derived chemokine, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1. Data were analyzed with linear mixed effects models. No significant treatment-by-time interactions were found for any biomarker, indicating that the pattern of change over time was not modified by treatment. Examining the main effect of time showed significant changes in several coagulation biomarkers and keratinocyte-derived chemokines. This study could not detect evidence of coagulation impairment with HES.

Abstract
Various anticoagulant properties have been associated with hydroxyethyl starch (HES). However, the mechanism remains unclear and it has not been fully considered whether these properties are beyond the dilutional effect itself. The aim of this study was to reproduce the coagulopathy induced by HES and to test the hypothesis that the coagulopathy is caused by endothelial or glycocalyx damage due to localization of HES on the endothelium, which is caused by the high shear viscosity of dilutional blood. Using a rat model, we compared blood coagulability measured by Sonoclot, levels of endothelial and glycocalyx damage markers and coagulation factors, and blood shear viscosity when hemodilution was performed with physiological saline (PS), 6% HES 130/0.4 in PS, and 10% HES 200/0.5 in PS. We also evaluated the localization rates of fluorescently labeled HES on endothelium in the isolated aorta. HES decreased the fibrin gel formation rate more than did PS. HES was shown to cover the endothelium, possibly due to its high shear viscosity, and this mechanism potentially acted to protect, rather than damage, the endothelium and glycocalyx. However, this covering effect may be the cause of coagulopathy due to inhibition of von Willebrand factor secretion from the endothelium.

Abstract
Intravenous fluid administration in veterinary patients can alter coagulation function by several mechanisms. Both crystalloid and colloid fluids cause hemodilution, reducing platelet count and plasma coagulation protein concentrations. Hemodilution is associated with a hypercoagulable effect at low dilutions and a hypocoagulable effect at higher dilutions. Composition of crystalloid fluids likely has a minor effect, primarily dependent on fluid ion composition. Hypertonic crystalloids may also cause hypocoagulability. Colloids, both synthetic and natural, can cause hypocoagulability by several mechanisms beyond the effects of hemodilution. These include impaired platelet function, decreased plasma coagulation factor activity, impaired fibrin formation and crosslinking, and accelerated fibrinolysis. The vast majority of the veterinary literature investigates the hypocoagulable effects of hydroxyethyl starch-containing fluids using in vitro, experimental, and clinical studies. However, results are inconsistent, likely due to the varying doses and physicochemical properties of the specific fluid products across studies. In addition, some evidence exists for hypocoagulable effects of gelatin and albumin solutions. There is also evidence that these colloids increase the risk of clinical bleeding in people. Limitations of the veterinary evidence for the hypocoagulable effects of colloid fluids include a predominance of in vitro studies and in vivo studies using healthy subjects, which exclude the interaction of the effects of illness. Therefore, clinical relevance of these effects, especially for low-molecular-weight hydroxyethyl starch, is unknown. Firm recommendations about the most appropriate fluid to use in clinical scenarios cannot be made, although it is prudent to limit the dose of synthetic colloid in at-risk patients. Clinicians should closely monitor relevant coagulation assays and for evidence of hemorrhage in at-risk patients receiving any type of fluid therapy, especially in large volumes.

Abstract
Synthetic colloids are commonly administered to dogs to treat absolute or relative hypovolaemia. Voluven® (tetrastarch 130/0.4) and Gelofusine® (succinylated gelatin) are available to veterinarians in South Africa. In humans, use of these products has caused acid–base derangements, changes in haematology and impaired haemostasis. We aimed to investigate these effects in healthy normovolaemic dogs. Eight healthy adult beagle dogs underwent a cross-over study, receiving Voluven® or Gelofusine® (10 mL/kg/h for 120 min) once each with a 14-day washout between treatments. Dogs were premedicated with dexmedetomidine (10 µg/kg intramuscularly). Anaesthesia was induced with propofol and the dogs were maintained with isoflurane-in-oxygen. The anaesthetised dogs were connected to a multi-parameter monitor to monitor physiological parameters throughout. Catheters placed in a jugular vein and dorsal metatarsal artery allowed sampling of venous and arterial blood. Blood was collected immediately prior to commencement of colloid infusion, after 60 min infusion and at the end of infusion (120 min) to allow for arterial blood gas analysis, haematology and coagulation testing (activated partial thromboplastin time [aPTT], prothrombin time [PT] and thromboelastography [TEG]). There was no effect, between treatments or over time, on blood pH. The haemoglobin concentration, erythrocyte count and haematocrit decreased significantly over time (all p < 0.01), with no differences between treatments, and remained within normal clinical ranges. There were no differences between treatments or over time for the TEG, aPTT and PT tests of haemostasis. At the dose studied, Voluven® and Gelofusine® had comparably negligible effects on blood acid–base balance and coagulation in normovolaemic dogs.

Abstract
Background Hydroxyethyl starch (HES), a class of synthetic colloid solutions, has been widely used to treat perioperative hypovolemia. The use of HES, however, is associated with the risk of allergic reactions. Case An 83-year-old man was scheduled to undergo an open reduction and internal fixation of a pertrochanteric fracture under spinal anesthesia. He had no history of allergy. Five minutes after HES administration, hypotension, agitation, and skin rash were developed. HES infusion was terminated due to a suspected anaphylactic reaction. The vital signs recovered following administration of phenylephrine, dexamethasone, and hydrocortisone. Serum tryptase and total immunoglobulin E levels were elevated in plasma samples collected following the commencement of the allergic reaction during surgery. Conclusions In the present report, the risk of anaphylactic reaction with HES and the laboratory tests needed to support the diagnosis are highlighted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review and discuss the use of hydroxyethyl starches (HES) in equine veterinary medicine, and to provide recommendations for its use. DATA SOURCES Veterinary and human peer-reviewed medical literature including scientific reviews, meta-analyses, and original research articles. HUMAN DATA SYNTHESIS Increasing evidences on adverse effects after HES use and decreasing support for beneficial effects with regards to volume expansion and colloid osmotic pressure (COP) support in critically ill subjects have led to a recent guideline to limit the use of HES in critically ill people. EQUINE VETERINARY DATA SYNTHESIS The rationale for HES use in horses is mainly extrapolated from human medicine, and very limited studies in horses are available. There is limited evidence suggesting a superiority of volume expansion effects of HES over crystalloids. The potential for HES to increase and maintain COP is well supported, but there is no evidence that maintaining or increasing plasma COP influences outcome, tissue edema formation, or rates of complications that potentially relate to edema formation. HES induce dose-dependent changes in coagulopathic parameters, but there is no evidence that HES causes clinical coagulopathies. Insufficient data are available on other adverse effects such as acute kidney injury, or mortality in horses. The use of HES should be restricted in septic patients, but may still have some use in cases of hemorrhagic shock resuscitation, hypoalbuminemia, or perioperative fluid replacement. CONCLUSION The evidence supporting the use of HES in horses is weak due to lack of species-specific investigations. Acknowledging species differences, the use of HES should be judicious, yet with some recognition of its benefits in particular cases. More research is necessary to improve knowledge on use of HES in horses and to establish better future recommendations.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective analysis. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of intraoperative balanced 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 on postoperative blood loss and the coagulation profile. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA The safety of colloid versus crystalloid transfusion for bleeding and coagulation during major spine surgery remains controversial and only a few studies exist. Thus, we compared the effects of balanced 6% HES 130/0.4 and crystalloid on postoperative bleeding and coagulation. METHODS Patients undergoing spine surgery between February 1, 2015 and February 28, 2017 were divided into 2 groups: patients receiving intraoperative balanced 6% HES 130/0.4 and patients receiving crystalloid. We compared the postoperative bleeding volume with changes in the coagulation profile and length of hospital stay between these 2 groups. Propensity score (PS)-matching and multivariate stepwise linear regression were performed. RESULTS A total of 169 patients who met the inclusion criteria were analyzed. The quantity of total colloid per patient was 10-15 mL/kg. A significant difference was observed in the total intraoperative transfused crystalloid volume between the 2 groups (colloid group, 1.394.6±1.414.0 mL; crystalloid group, 2.027.3±1.114.1 mL; P<0.001). Postoperative blood loss and coagulation profile changes were not significantly different in the 60 PS-matched paired patients. Furthermore, no differences in either postoperative transfusion requirement or length of hospital stay were observed between the groups. Multivariate stepwise linear regression revealed that operation time (β=0.549; P<0.001) and intraoperative transfusion of packed red blood cells (β=0.466; P=0.003) or fresh frozen plasma (β=-0.263; P=0.041) were independently associated with postoperative blood loss. However, intraoperative colloid administration was not a predictive factor. CONCLUSIONS Intraoperative infusion of balanced 6% HES 130/0.4 in patients undergoing spine surgery presented clinically insignificant changes in postoperative blood loss and coagulation compared to crystalloid. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III.

Abstract
After a safety review of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) solutions in 2013, restrictions on the use of HES were introduced in the European Union (EU) to reduce the risk of kidney injury and death in certain patient populations. Similar restrictions were introduced by the Food and Drug Administration in the United States and other countries. In October 2017, a second safety review of HES solutions was triggered by the European pharmacovigilance authorities based on a request by the Swedish Medical Products Agency to completely suspend HES. After several meetings and repeated evaluations, the recommendation to ban HES was ultimately not endorsed by the responsible committee; however, there was a vote for more restricted access to the drug and rigorous monitoring of policy adherence. This review delineates developments in the European pharmacovigilance risk assessment of HES solutions between 2013 and 2018. In addition, the divergent experts' opinions and the controversy surrounding this official assessment are described. As the new decisions might influence the availability of HES products for veterinary patients, potential alternatives to HES solutions, such as albumin solutions and gelatin, are briefly discussed.

Boyd CJ, Claus MA, Raisis AL, Hosgood G, Sharp CR, Smart L. Hypocoagulability and Platelet Dysfunction Are Exacerbated by Synthetic Colloids in a Canine Hemorrhagic Shock Model. Front Vet Sci 2018; 5:279. [PMID: 30483517 PMCID: PMC6243100 DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2018.00279] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2018] [Accepted: 10/22/2018] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Hemorrhagic shock and volume replacement can alter coagulation. Synthetic colloids, hydroxyethyl starch (HES), and gelatin, may enhance hypocoagulability. Our primary objective was to describe the effect of four fluid products on coagulation in canine hemorrhagic shock. Our secondary objective was to compare measurements of coagulation during shock to baseline in all dogs. Methods: Anesthetized greyhounds subjected to atraumatic hemorrhage for 60 min were administered 20 mL kg−1 of either fresh whole blood (FWB), 6% HES 130/0.4, 4% succinylated gelatin (GELO), or 80 mL kg−1 of isotonic crystalloid over 20 min (n = 6 per group). Platelet closure time (PCT), rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) and plasma coagulation assays were measured at baseline, end of hemorrhage (shock), and 40 (T60), and 160 (T180) min after study fluid. ROTEM parameters included clotting time (CT), clot formation time (CFT), alpha angle, maximum clot firmness (MCF), lysis index at 60 min (LI60), and thrombodynamic potential index (TPI) for INTEM, EXTEM, FIBTEM (MCF only), and APTEM (LI60 only) profiles. Plasma coagulation assays included prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen concentration and activities of factor VII (FVII), factor VIII (FVIII), and von Willebrand Factor antigen (vWF). Between-group differences were tested using linear mixed models with post-hoc between-group comparisons (Bonferroni-Holm corrected). Differences between baseline and shock were tested using paired t-tests. Significance was set at P < 0.05. Results: GELO showed longer PCT at T60, compared with FWB and CRYST, and at T180, compared with all other groups. HES showed longer EXTEM CT at T60, compared with all other groups. HES showed lower INTEM and EXTEM MCF at T60 and lower INTEM MCF at T180, compared with FWB. Some plasma coagulation assays showed greater hypocoagulability with HES. Comparing shock to baseline, EXTEM CT, INTEM CFT, EXTEM CFT, PT, and FVIII significantly increased and PCT, INTEM CT, INTEM MCF, EXTEM MCF, EXTEM LI60, EXTEM TPI, FIBTEM MCF, APTT, fibrinogen, FVII, and vWF significantly decreased. Conclusions: In dogs with hemorrhagic shock, volume replacement with GELO caused mild platelet dysfunction and HES was associated with coagulation changes consistent with hypocoagulability, beyond effects of hemodilution. Shock alone produced some evidence of hypocoagulability.

Abstract
Plasmaseparation is a treatment under discussion for critically ill patients, especially in sepsis and multiorgan failure. These patients receive a variety of different fluid substitutes, including hydroxyethylstarch (HES). HES is known to influence rheological properties, but nothing is known about the possible interactions between HES and the plamaseparation procedure. We used an in vitro plasmaseparation circuit with heparinized porcine blood. Before priming the system, 2 liters of blood were supplemented by adding 100 ml of either NaCl 0.9% or HES (n=6 in each group). We monitored the transmembrane (TMP) and the filtration pressure (PF) and measured free plasma hemoglobin (free Hb) and platelet counts before and after the two hours plasmaseparation procedure. The final transmembrane pressure was significantly higher with HES substitution. In the HES group we found negative filtration pressures from the very beginning with a significant further decrease toward the end of the experiments. A significant increase in free Hb and decrease in platelet counts were noted only in the HES group. Volume substitution with HES leads to impaired filtration properties and deteriorated hemocompatibility in in vitro plasmaseparation. Further studies have yet to evaluate whether or not the effects described also occur under clinical conditions.

Abstract
To evaluate the parameters of the thrombin generation test (TGT) in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients on prolonged aspirin therapy during on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) after donor platelet concentrate transfusion. A total of 148 patients with CAD on prolonged aspirin therapy (75–100 mg/day) who have undergone elective on-pump CABG were consecutively included in the study. Patients were divided randomly into two groups. Group 1 (n = 76) received donor platelet transfusions after cardiopulmonary bypass, whereas Group 2 (n = 72) did not. TGT parameters were measured using an analyzer at pre-, intra-, and early postoperative periods. Activation of the endogenous thrombin potential was observed in patients on prolonged aspirin therapy in the pre- and intraoperative periods, as confirmed by high peak thrombin and increased velocity index. The activation time of the prothrombinase complex and thrombin generation time were greater than the control group. The blood hemostatic potential in patients who did not receive transfusions in the early postoperative period decreased up to the level of the control group in the extended time parameters. Hemostatic potential in plasma in patients on aspirin was preserved. Given the laboratory test results and clinical data, platelet concentrate transfusion is unnecessary for prevention.

Does small-volume resuscitation with crystalloids or colloids influence hemostasis and survival of rabbits subjected to lethal uncontrolled hemorrhage? J Trauma Acute Care Surg 2017; 82:156-164.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prehospital, small-volume resuscitation of combat casualties with a synthetic colloid (6% hydroxyethyl starch [HES] 670/0.75) has been recommended when blood or blood components are unavailable. We studied hemostatic effects of a newer synthetic colloid (6% HES, 130/0.4) compared with either a natural colloid (albumin) or to crystalloids in an uncontrolled hemorrhage model. METHODS Spontaneously breathing New Zealand white rabbits (3.4 ± 0.1 kg) were anesthetized, instrumented, and subjected to a splenic injury with uncontrolled bleeding. Fifteen minutes after injury, rabbits were in shock (mean arterial pressure [MAP] = 26 ± 1.3 mm Hg, and received colloids (6% HES, 130/0.4 or 5% albumin at 15 mL/kg), or crystalloids (normal saline at 30 mL/kg or 5% hypertonic saline at 7.5 mL/kg) for resuscitation in two intravenous bolus injections (15 minutes apart) to raise their MAP to 65 mm Hg, n = 9/group. Animals were monitored for 2.5 hours or until death, and blood losses were measured. Blood samples were analyzed for arterial blood gas, complete blood count, and coagulation measures. RESULTS There were no differences among groups in baseline measures and initial hemorrhage volume (11.9 ± 0.6 mL/kg) at 15 minutes postinjury. Twenty minutes after fluid resuscitation (1 hour postinjury), MAP was higher, shock indices were lower, and blood pH was higher in colloids versus. crystalloids groups (p < 0.05). Administration of 6% HES 130/0.4 colloid produced the largest hemodilution (54% decrease in hematocrit, p < 0.05 vs. hypertonic saline). Activated partial thromboplastin time increased approximately 35% above baseline in all groups except in 6% HES 130/0.4 group in which it doubled. Clot strength was reduced (15%) only in the 6% HES 130/0.4 group. 6% HES 130/0.4 resuscitation produced the largest blood loss and 33% survival rate that was not different than the crystalloid groups. Albumin produced the best hemostatic and survival outcomes (78%). CONCLUSION Small-volume resuscitation with crystalloids appeared inadequate to treat hypovolemic shock and prevent death. 6% HES 130/0.4 was effective hemodynamically but detrimental to hemostasis. Albumin produced the best outcomes consistent with our previous observations. Further studies are needed to prove benefit of albumin solution as a possible resuscitation fluid for treating combat casualties at the point of injury.

Abstract
Background Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) solutions are used for volume expansion during surgery. We aimed to investigate how 6%HES 130/0.4 affects hemostasis. Material/Methods Blood samples were collected from 12 healthy adult volunteers, diluting with 6%HES 130/0.4 (HES group) or Ringer lactate solution (RL control group). The hemodilution ratio (HR) of citrated blood volume to plasma substitute volume was 10: 0 (undiluted), 10: 2, 10: 4, and 10: 6. Clotting factors activity was measured. Thrombin generation was monitored. Platelet function was analyzed. Results 1) Activity of coagulation factor was decreased with increasing HR compared to undiluted baseline, and the activity of FVIII was significantly decreased in HES vs. RL. 2) Calibrated automated thrombography (CAT) results showed HES extended lag time, time to peak (ttpeak), start tail, and decreased peak of thrombin generation. Although lag time and ttpeak were significantly prolonged in HES vs. RL, endogenous thrombin potential (ETP) did not change. 3) Flow cytometric (FCM) analysis showed that HES reduced platelet phospholipids serine (PS) vs. baseline and RL. 4) HES significantly decreased antithrombin activity (AT: A) of the anticoagulant system with increasing HR vs. baseline and RL. 5) For fibrinolytic system, HES did not affect fibrinogen degradation products (FDP) and D-dimers (D-D) vs. baseline, or α2-antiplasmin (α2-AP) vs. RL. Conclusions By reducing FVIII activity and platelet PS expression, HES interfered with PS combining to FXIa, FVIIIa, and FVa, which affected the acceleration and explosion stage of thrombin. The decreased velocity and peak of thrombin generation delays and reduces clot formation. Combined 6%HES 130/0.4 decreased anticoagulant activity and may have clinical utility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Volume replacement therapy with colloid is still worth studying in major pediatric surgery with potential risk of bleeding. This study assessed the effects of 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 and 5% Human Albumin (HA) on coagulation tested by thromboelastography (TEG) during elective intracranial tumor surgery in pediatric patients. METHODS In this randomized controlled trial, 60 patients undergoing intracranial tumor resection under general anesthesia were assigned to HES and HA groups (n = 30), and administered preloads of 20 mL · kg-1 HES 130/0.4 and 5% HA, respectively, prior to dura opening. Primary outcomes were perioperative thromboelastography findings, and hemodynamic and hematological parameters. Blood transfusion, perioperative fluid balance, intracranial pressure, mortality, intensive care unit stay, and hospital stay were also assessed. RESULTS TEG parameters did not differ after preloading compared to baseline values in either group, except for a decrease in maximum amplitude immediately after infusion (HES group, 57.6 ± 6.0 mm vs. 50.9 ± 9.2 mm; HA group, 60.1 ± 7.9 mm vs. 56.6 ± 7.1 mm; p < 0.01), which was restored to preoperative levels 1 h after fluid infusion. Total perioperative fluid balance, blood loss or transfusion, intracranial pressure, and hematological and hemodynamic variables were similar between both groups (p > 0.05). Mortality, length of hospital stay, and clinical complications were similar between both groups. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that HES and HA might have no significant differences regarding coagulation as assessed by TEG during pediatric intracranial tumor surgery with 20 ml/kg volume pre-loading, which can maintain stable hemodynamics and may represent a new avenue for volume therapy during brain tumor resection in pediatrics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of a 6% hydroxyethyl starch (130/0.42) solution in either a buffered, electrolyte-balanced (HES-BAL), or a saline (HES-SAL) carrier solution on canine platelet function and whole blood coagulation. DESIGN Prospective, randomized study. SETTING University teaching hospital. ANIMALS Thirty-seven client-owned dogs undergoing general anesthesia for arthroscopy or imaging studies. INTERVENTIONS Dogs received a 15 mL/kg intravenous bolus of HES-SAL (n = 13), HES-BAL (n = 14), or a modified Ringer's solution (n = 10) over 30-40 minutes. Coagulation was analyzed using a Platelet Function Analyzer-100 (closure time [CtPFA ]), and whole blood thromboelastometry (ROTEM) with extrinsically (ex-tem and fib-tem) and intrinsically (in-tem) activated assays, which assessed clotting time (CT), clot formation time (CFT), maximal clot firmness (MCF), and lysis index (LI). Coagulation samples were assayed prior to fluid administration (T0), and 5 minutes (T1), and 3 hours (T2) following fluid bolus administration, respectively. RESULTS Both HES solutions resulted in impaired platelet function as indicated by a significant prolongation of CtPFA at T1 as compared to T0, but which resolved by T2. An IV bolus of Ringer's solution did not alter platelet function. In both HES groups, whole blood coagulation was significantly impaired at T1 as indicated by a significant increase in in-tem CFT, and a significant decrease in ex-tem, in-tem, and fib-tem MCF compared to T0. Furthermore, a significant increase in ex-tem CFT at T1 compared to T0 was found in the HES-SAL group. With the exception of in-tem MCF after HES-BAL, these effects were not present at T2. No significant differences were found in CtPFA or any ROTEM variable at any time point between HES-SAL and HES-BAL. CONCLUSION Administration of a single bolus of 15 mL/kg 6% HES 130/0.42 results in significant but short-lived impairment of canine platelet function and whole blood coagulation, regardless of carrier solution.

Abstract
Traumatic injury is one of the leading causes of death, with uncontrolled hemorrhage from coagulation dysfunction as one of the main potentially preventable causes of the mortality. Hypothermia, acidosis, and resuscitative hemodilution have been considered as the significant contributors to coagulation manifestations following trauma, known as the lethal triad. Over the past decade, clinical observations showed that coagulopathy may be present as early as hospital admission in some severely injured trauma patients. The hemostatic dysfunction is associated with higher blood transfusion requirements, longer hospital stay, and higher mortality. The recognition of this early coagulopathy has initiated tremendous interest and effort in the trauma community to expand our understanding of the underlying pathophysiology and improve clinical treatments. This review discusses the current knowledge of coagulation complications following trauma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess primary and secondary hemostasis following in vitro dilution of canine whole blood (WB) with hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 and HES 670/0.75. DESIGN In vitro experimental study. SETTING Private practice, teaching hospital. ANIMALS Twenty-five healthy dogs. INTERVENTIONS Each dog underwent venipuncture and 18 mL of venous blood was sampled once. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Collected blood was separated in 4 aliquots. Aliquot A served as baseline sample. The remaining tubes of WB were diluted with 0.9% saline, HES 670/0.75 and HES 130/0.4 at a ratio of 1:5.5. Dilutional effects were evaluated using prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), packed cell volume (PCV), thromboelastography (TEG), and platelet closure time (Ct), which was measured using a platelet function analyzer (PFA). Clot strength (ie, G value) was calculated from measured TEG values. Significant increases in PT (P < 0.05) and aPTT (P < 0.05) were documented following WB dilution with saline. Dilution of WB with HES 670/0.75 and HES 130/0.4 resulted in significant hypocoagulable changes in K, MA and G (P < 0.05) compared to baseline and saline. When comparing saline to HES 670/0.75, both R and K values were significantly increased (P < 0.05). K value was significantly increased (P < 0.05) when comparing baseline to HES 130/0.4 and HES 670/0.75. Ct (P < 0.05) was significantly prolonged after WB dilution with HES solutions but not after saline. CONCLUSIONS Dilution of WB with HES 670/0.75 and HES 130/0.4 resulted in changes in primary and secondary hemostasis. Although there were small differences between saline and HES 670/0.75, no differences between HES solutions were evident in this small study. This may suggest there would be minimal increases in bleeding risk when either solution is administered to dogs at low doses. Clinical relevance of our findings requires further investigation.

Abstract
Fluid administration for trauma in the pre-hospital environment is a challenging and controversial area. The available evidence does not clearly support any single approach. Nevertheless, some provisional conclusions may be drawn. We believe that the following guidelines represent a sound expert consensus. It is intended that they will be modifi ed as future research brings clarity to the area. When treating trauma victims in the pre-hospital arena cannulation should take place en route where possible. Only two attempts at cannulation should be made. Transfer should not be delayed by attempts to obtain intravenous access. Entrapped patients require cannulation at the scene. Normal saline may be titrated in boluses of 250 ml against the presence or absence of a radial pulse (caveats; penetrating torso injury, head injury, infants).

BMC Vet Res 2016; 12:155. [PMID: 27459858 PMCID: PMC4962524 DOI: 10.1186/s12917-016-0767-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2016] [Accepted: 07/06/2016] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The artificial colloid, hydroxyethyl starch (HES), is recommended for intravascular volume expansion and colloid-osmotic pressure enhancement in dogs and cats. A well-known side effect of HES solutions in humans and dogs is coagulopathy. However, HES-associated coagulopathy has thus far not been investigated in cats. The goal of this study was to assess the in vitro effects of 6 % HES 130/0.42 on feline whole blood samples using rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM). A further goal was to develop feline reference intervals for ROTEM at our institution. In this in vitro experimental study, blood samples of 24 adult healthy cats were collected by atraumatic jugular phlebotomy following intramuscular sedation. Baseline ROTEM analyses (using ex-tem, in-tem and fib-tem assays) were performed in duplicate. Additionally, ROTEM analyses were performed on blood samples after dilution with either Ringer’s acetate (RA) or 6 % HES 130/0.42 (HES) in a 1:6 dilution (i.e. 1 part solution and 6 parts blood). Results Coefficients of variation of duplicate measures were below 12 % in all ex-tem assays, 3 of 4 in-tem assays but only 1 of 3 fib-tem assays. Reference intervals were similar albeit somewhat narrower than those previously published. Dilution with both solutions lead to significantly prolonged CT (in-tem), CFT (ex-tem and in-tem), and reduced MCF (ex-tem, in-tem, and fib-tem) and alpha (ex-tem and in-tem). Compared to RA, dilution with HES caused a significant prolongation of CT in fib-tem (P = 0.016), CFT in ex-tem (P = 0.017) and in-tem (P = 0.019), as well as a reduction in MCF in in-tem (P = 0.032) and fib-tem (P = 0.020), and alpha in ex-tem (P = 0.014). However, only a single parameter (CFT in ex-tem) was outside of the established reference interval after dilution with HES. Conclusions In vitro hemodilution of feline blood with RA and HES causes a small but significant impairment of whole blood coagulation, with HES leading to a significantly greater effect on coagulation than RA. Further studies are necessary to evaluate the in vivo effects and the clinical significance of these findings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To (1) review the development and medical applications of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) solutions with particular emphasis on its physiochemical properties; (2) critically appraise the available evidence in human and veterinary medicine, and (3) evaluate the potential risks and benefits associated with their use in critically ill small animals. DATA SOURCES Human and veterinary original research articles, scientific reviews, and textbook sources from 1950 to the present. HUMAN DATA SYNTHESIS HES solutions have been used extensively in people for over 30 years and ever since its introduction there has been a great deal of debate over its safety and efficacy. Recently, results of seminal trials and meta-analyses showing increased risks related to kidney dysfunction and mortality in septic and critically ill patients, have led to the restriction of HES use in these patient populations by European regulatory authorities. Although the initial ban on the use of HES in Europe has been eased, proof regarding the benefits and safety profile of HES in trauma and surgical patient populations has been requested by these same European regulatory authorities. VETERINARY DATA SYNTHESIS The veterinary literature is limited mostly to experimental studies and clinical investigations with small populations of patients with short-term end points and there is insufficient evidence to generate recommendations. CONCLUSIONS Currently, there are no consensus recommendations regarding the use of HES in veterinary medicine. Veterinarians and institutions affected by the HES restrictions have had to critically reassess the risks and benefits related to HES usage based on the available information and sometimes adapt their procedures and policies based on their reassessment. Meanwhile, large, prospective, randomized veterinary studies evaluating HES use are needed to achieve relevant levels of evidence to enable formulation of specific veterinary guidelines.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To measure platelet closure time (PCT) in dogs during controlled hemorrhagic shock and after fluid resuscitation with hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 or 0.9% sodium chloride. DESIGN Experimental interventional study. SETTING University veterinary teaching hospital. ANIMALS Eleven healthy Greyhounds. INTERVENTIONS Dogs were anesthetized and had 48 mL/kg of blood removed to induce hemorrhagic shock. Dogs received 20 mL/kg of HES 130/0.4 (n = 6) or 80 mL/kg of 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl; n = 5) intravenously over 20 minutes. PCT was measured using the Platelet Function Analyzer-100 with collagen and adenosine-diphosphate cartridges at: T0 = 60 minutes after induction of anesthesia prior to hemorrhage, T1 = during hemorrhagic shock, and T2 = 40 minutes after completion of fluid bolus. Packed cell volume and platelet count were concurrently measured. MEASUREMENT AND MAIN RESULTS Hemorrhagic shock did not significantly change PCT, with no difference between T0 and T1. Both the HES 130/0.4 and 0.9% NaCl group had a significantly increased mean PCT at T2 of 91.4 seconds (95% CI 69.3-113.4) and 95.5 seconds (95% CI 78.2-112.8), respectively, compared to T1. The magnitude of change was significantly greater for the 0.9% NaCl group than the HES 130/0.4 group. There was no difference in the magnitude of change in PCV and platelet count between the 2 groups. The PCV and platelet count were >25% and >100,000/μL, respectively, in all dogs, except for dogs in the HES 130/0.4 group at T2 where platelet counts were <100,000/μL. CONCLUSION Controlled hemorrhagic shock in Greyhounds under anesthesia did not cause a significant change in PCT. Both HES 130/0.4 and 0.9% NaCl administration after induction of shock increased PCT. These results do not support that HES 130/0.4 causes relevant platelet dysfunction beyond hemodilution.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effects of haemodilution with either 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 (Voluven(®)) or 0.9% normal saline (NS) on blood coagulation in vitro. Haemodilution with 6% HES 130/0.4 impaired coagulation, as indicated by the changes in thromboelastographic parameters k-time, α-angle and maximum amplitude. Light transmission aggregometry and multiple electrode aggregometry demonstrated that impaired platelet receptor function occurred only at high levels of haemodilution (40%) with both fluids, but there was no significant difference between the two fluids (P=0.05). The thromboelastographic functional fibrinogen assay showed that the fibrinogen component of clot strength was significantly impaired with haemodilution with HES 130/0.4 compared with haemodilution with NS (whole blood [14.4 ± 4.6 mm] versus 40% HES dilution [3.7 ± 1.9], [P=0.001]; versus 40% NS dilution [10.4 ± 4.6], [P=0.129]). These findings suggest that there is little difference between HES or NS in relation to coagulation or platelet function during minor or moderate haemodilution, but at high levels of haemodilution with HES, fibrinogen activity is more impaired compared with NS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of in vitro hemodilution with lactated Ringers solution (LRS), hetastarch (HES), and fresh frozen plasma (FFP) on whole blood coagulation in dogs as assessed by kaolin-activated thromboelastography. DESIGN In vitro experimental study. SETTING University teaching hospital. ANIMALS Six healthy client-owned dogs. INTERVENTIONS Whole blood was collected and diluted in vitro at a 33% and 67% dilution with either LRS, HES, or FFP. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Kaolin-activated thromboelastography was performed on each sample as well as a control. Thromboelastographic parameters R (min), alpha (deg), K (min), and MA (mm) were measured and compared to the sample control for each dilution using mixed model methodology. Prolongation in coagulation times were seen at both dilutions with LRS and HES. There was no significant difference in R times at the 33% dilution, but R time was significantly prolonged at the 67% dilution with HES (P = 0.004). MA was significantly decreased for LRS at both dilutions (P = 0.013, P < 0.001) and more profoundly decreased for HES (P < 0.001, P = 0.006). No significant difference in any parameter was found for FFP. CONCLUSIONS In vitro hemodilution of whole blood with both LRS and HES but not FFP resulted in significant effects on coagulation with HES having a more profound effect. In vivo evaluation of changes in coagulation with various resuscitation fluids is warranted and may be clinically relevant.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the in vitro effects of hypertonic solutions and colloids to saline on coagulation in dogs. DESIGN In vitro experimental study. SETTING Veterinary teaching hospital. ANIMALS Twenty-one adult dogs. INTERVENTIONS Blood samples were diluted with saline, 7.2% hypertonic saline solution with 6% hydroxyethylstarch with an average molecular weight of 200 kDa and a molar substitution of 0.4 (HH), 7.2% hypertonic saline (HTS), hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 or hydroxyethyl starch 600/0.75 at ratios of 1:22 and 1:9, and with saline and HES at a ratio of 1:3. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Whole blood coagulation was analyzed using rotational thromboelastometry (extrinsic thromboelastometry-cloting time (ExTEM-CT), maximal clot firmness (MCF) and clot formation time (CFT) and fibrinogen function TEM-CT (FibTEM-CT) and MCF) and platelet function was analyzed using a platelet function analyzer (closure time, CTPFA ). All parameters measured were impaired by saline dilution. The CTPFA was prolonged by 7.2% hypertonic saline solution with 6% hydroxyethylstarch with an average molecular weight of 200 kDa and a molar substitution of 0.4 (HH) and HTS but not by HES solutions. At clinical dilutions equivalent to those generally administered for shock (saline 1:3, HES 1:9, and hypertonic solutions 1:22), CTPFA was more prolonged by HH and HTS than other solutions but more by saline than HES. No difference was found between the HES solutions or the hypertonic solutions. ExTEM-CFT and MCF were impaired by HH and HTS but only mildly by HES solutions. At clinically relevant dilutions, no difference was found in ExTEM-CFT between HTS and saline or in ExTEM-MCF between HH and saline. No consistent difference was found between the 2 HES solutions but HH impaired ExTEM-CFT and MCF more than HTS. At high dilutions, FibTEM-CT and -MCF and ExTEM-CT were impaired by HES. CONCLUSIONS Hypertonic solutions affect platelet function and whole blood coagulation to a greater extent than saline and HES. At clinically relevant dilutions, only CTPFA was markedly more affected by hypertonic solutions than by saline. At high dilutions, HES significantly affects coagulation but to no greater extent than saline at clinically relevant dilutions.

Abstract
Development of parenteral nanoformulations is highly challenging due to the stringent demands on stability, reproducibility and high drug loading with minimal excipients. This study focuses on the development of a pharmaceutically acceptable nanomatrix system for parenteral delivery based on Hydroxyethyl Starch (HES), a FDA approved polymer that is relatively unexplored in drug delivery research. HES nanoparticles were prepared through a simple, two-step crosslinking-precipitation route, yielding 160±5 nm, nearly monodispersed spherical particles with high colloidal stability. The utility of this nanocarrier for parenteral delivery was verified by a panel of hemo/cytocompatibility assays at high concentrations (0.05-1 mg/ml) in vitro and in vivo. HES nanomatrix was found effective in encapsulating two chemically distinct drugs having varying hydrophobicities, with the release behavior being influenced by their chemical nature and drug-matrix interactions. Better in vitro efficacy was measured for the nanoencapsulated drug than its bare form, establishing the potential of HES nanocarriers for controlled drug delivery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fibrinogen concentrate treatment can improve coagulation during massive traumatic bleeding. The aim of this in vitro study was to determine whether fibrinogen concentrate, or a combination of factor XIII and fibrinogen concentrates, could reverse a haemodilution-induced coagulopathy during hypothermia. METHODS Citrated venous blood from 10 healthy volunteers was diluted in vitro by 33% with 130/0.42 hydroxyethyl starch (HES) or Ringer's acetate (RAc). The effects of fibrinogen concentrate corresponding to 4 gram per 70 kg, or a combination of the same dose of fibrinogen with factor XIII (20 IU per kg), were measured using rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM). The blood was analysed at 33°C or 37°C with ROTEM EXTEM and FIBTEM reagents. Clotting time (CT), clot formation time (CFT), alpha angle (AA) and maximal clot formation (MCF) were recorded. RESULTS Fibrinogen with or without factor XIII improved all ROTEM parameters in either solution irrespective of temperature, with the exception of EXTEM-AA and EXTEM-CFT in HES haemodilution. Fibrinogen increased FIBTEM-MCF more in the samples diluted with RAc than HES, particularly in presence of factor XIII. CONCLUSIONS Fibrinogen improved in vitro haemodilution-induced coagulopathy at both 33°C and 37°C, though more efficiently after crystalloid than HES haemodilution. Factor XIII had an additional effect on FIBTEM-MCF, but only after crystalloid dilution.

Abstract
Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) family has been one of the cornerstones in fluid management for over four decades. Recent evidence from clinical studies and meta-analyses has raised few concerns about the safety of these fluids, especially in certain subpopulations of patients. High-quality clinical trials and meta-analyses have emphasized nephrotoxic effects, increased risk of bleeding, and a trend toward higher mortality in these patients after the use of HES solutions. Scientific evidence was derived from international guidelines, aggregated research literature, and opinion-based evidence was obtained from surveys and other activities (e.g., internet postings). On critical analysis of the current data available, it can be summarized that further large scale trials are still indicated before HES can be discarded.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review and summarize the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of hydroxyethyl starch (HES), as well as reported risks and benefits of HES infusion, and to provide administration and monitoring recommendations for HES use in dogs and cats. DATA SOURCES Veterinary and human peer-reviewed medical literature, including scientific reviews, clinical and laboratory research articles, and authors' clinical experience. SUMMARY HES solutions are the most frequently used synthetic colloid plasma volume expanders in human and veterinary medicine. The majority of research in human medicine has focused on the adverse effects of HES infusion, with emphasis on acute kidney injury and coagulation derangements. The studies often differ in or fail to report factors, such as the type, amount, interval, and concentration of HES administered; the patient population studied; or concurrent fluids administered. Currently, there is no definitive clinical evidence that the reported adverse effects of HES use in human medicine occur in veterinary species. There is little information available on HES administration techniques or simultaneous administration of additional fluids in human and veterinary medicine. The rationale for HES use in small animals has been largely extrapolated from human medical studies and guidelines. A controlled approach to intravenous fluid resuscitation using crystalloid and HES volumes titrated to reach desired resuscitation end point parameters is outlined for small animal practitioners. CONCLUSION The extrapolation of data from human studies directly to small animals should be done with the knowledge that there may be species variations and different pharmacokinetics with different HES solutions. Veterinary reports indicate that bolus and continuous rate infusions of 6% hetastarch solutions at moderate doses are well tolerated in feline and canine subjects. Further research in domesticated species is necessary to better define and expand the knowledge regarding use of HES solutions in small animal medicine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of hetastarch 670/0.75 on canine platelet function and clinical bleeding following its administration as a constant rate infusion (CRI) at 1 mL/kg/h and 2 mL/kg/h for 24 hours. DESIGN In vivo, prospective, open-label, crossover study. SETTING Research laboratory at a university veterinary facility. ANIMALS Eight healthy, adult male research dogs. INTERVENTIONS Each dog received 1 mL/kg/h hetastarch for 24 hours then 2 mL/kg/h with a washout period of 10 weeks between each experiment. Platelet closure time (CT) was measured using a platelet function analyzer with collagen adenosine diphosphate (ADP) cartridges. CT measurements were performed at baseline and 6, 12, and 24 hours following initiation of hetastarch infusion. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS At 1 mL/kg/h, mean CT was significantly increased at the 12- and 24-hour time point relative to the baseline value, although mean CT never rose to a value above the reference interval during the 24-hour infusion. At 2 mL/kg/h, median CT was also significantly increased at the 12- and 24-hour time point relative to the baseline value. Administration of 2 mL/kg/h did progressively prolong the median CT value though only exceeded the reference interval at the 24-hour time point. Despite the prolongation of median CT, there was no clinical evidence of spontaneous bleeding in any dog during the 24-hour infusion at either CRI rate. CONCLUSIONS Hetastarch 670/0.75 when used as a 24-hour CRI at 1 and 2 mL/kg/h prolongs CT in healthy dogs at 6, 12, and 24 hours. Median CT only exceeded the reference interval at 24 hours at 2 mL/kg/h.

Abstract
Fluid therapy is a core concept in the management of perioperative and critically ill patients for maintenance of intravascular volume and organ perfusion. Recent evidence regarding the vascular barrier and its role in terms of vascular leakage has led to a new concept for fluid administration. The choice of fluid used should be based on the fluid composition and the underlying pathophysiology of the patient. Avoidance of both hypo- and hypervolaemia is essential when treating circulatory failure. In daily practice, the assessment of individual thresholds in order to optimize cardiac preload and avoid hypovolaemia or deleterious fluid overload remains a challenge. Liberal versus restrictive fluid management has been challenged by recent evidence, and the ideal approach appears to be goal-directed fluid therapy.

Abstract
Proper fluid management is crucial for the management of critically ill patients. However, there is a continuing debate about the choice of the fluid, i.e., crystalloid vs. colloid. Colloid solution is theoretically advantageous to the crystalloid because of larger volume effect and less interstitial fluid accumulation, and hydroxyethyl starch (HES) is most frequently used for perioperative setting. Nevertheless, application of HES solution is relatively limited due to its side effects including renal toxicity and coagulopathy. Since prolonged presence of large HES molecule is responsible for these side effects, rapidly degradable HES solution with low degree of substitution (tetrastarch) supposedly has less potential for negative effects. Thus, tetrastarch may be more frequently used in the ICU setting. However, several large-scale randomized trials reported that administration of tetrastarch solution to the patients with severe sepsis has negative effects on mortality and renal function. These results triggered further debate and regulatory responses around the world. This narrative review intended to describe the currently available evidence about the advantages and disadvantages of tetrastarch in the ICU setting.

Abstract
Platelet transfusion (PTx) has been identified as an important risk factor for morbidity and mortality after liver transplantation (LTx). Our aim was to evaluate the safety of therapeutic rather than prophylactic PTx policy in severe thrombocytopenic patients undergoing LTx. Recipients of LTx were divided into two groups: group I (GI) (n = 76) platelet count (PC) ≥ 50 × 10(9)/l and group II (GII) PC < 50 × 109/l (n = 76). Platelets were transfused following a thromboelastometry protocol and clinical signs of diffuse bleeding. Both groups were compared regarding hemoglobin (Hb), international normalized ratio (INR), fibrinogen level, blood loss (BL), blood products required, percentage of bloodless surgery, duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU stay, and vascular complications. Each group was further subdivided according to PTx into (GI NPTx and GII NPTx) with no platelet transfusion (NPTx) and (GI PTx and GII PTx) received PTx. These subgroups were further compared for some variables. Base line Hb was significantly higher while INR was significantly lower in GI.75% avoided PTx in GII. Comparisons of BL, packed red blood cells (PRBCs), and cryoprecipitate transfusion were insignificant. Fresh frozen plasma (FFP) transfusion was higher and the percentage of bloodless surgery was lower in GII. In GII, PC increased after start of surgery. Two cases of hepatic artery thrombosis in GI and one in GII were recorded. Recovery of platelets was quicker, and duration of mechanical ventilation and ICU stay was shorter in NPTx patients regardless the base line PC. Cut-off values of PC 30 × 10(9)/l (with sensitivity 73.7% and specificity 78.8%, p < 0.01), BL of 3750 ml in GI (sensitivity of 75% and specificity of 69%, p < 0.01) and of 3250 ml in GII (sensitivity of 84.2% and specificity of 87.7% (p < 0.01)) could indicate the need of PTx. With therapeutic approach, 75% of patients in GII could avoid unnecessary PTx with its hazards without excessive bleeding. PC in GII increased intraoperatively, PTx may lead to delayed recovery of platelets, increased duration of mechanical ventilation and ICU stay. The given cut-off values may help to guide PTx.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lower molecular weight and molar substitution formulations of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) solutions might maximize cardiovascular function and colloid osmotic pressure (COP) and minimize adverse effects on coagulation. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES To compare effects of 1 low and 1 high molecular weight and molar substitution HES solution on cardiovascular variables, COP, and hemostasis in normal horses. ANIMALS Eight healthy adult horses. METHODS Randomized, crossover designed study: 10 mL/kg bolus of 6% HES (600/0.75) (hetastarch) (HS), 6% HES (130/0.4) tetrastarch (TS), and 0.9% NaCl (NS). Variables recorded included central venous pressure (CVP), noninvasive arterial blood pressure, packed cell volume (PCV), COP, and automated platelet analysis (CT). RESULTS Central venous pressure was increased for 8 hours after all treatment (baseline = 8.4 ± 3.8; 8 hours = 10.3 ± 3.5 cm H2 O; P < .001). HS and TS produced an increase in systolic arterial pressure (HS = 109.1 ± 11.9; TS = 109.5 ± 10.9 mmHg) and mean arterial pressure (HS = 80.4 ± 13.0; TS = 82.3 ± 10.1 mmHg) compared to NS (SAP = 103.2 ± 13.2 [P = .023]; MAP = 74.2 ± 11.4 mmHg [P = .048]). PCV decreased transiently with HS (baseline = 37.1 ± 4.4%; 1.5 hours = 31.6 ± 3.9%) and TS (baseline = 38.4 ± 3.9%; 1.5 hours = 32.2 ± 3.3%), but not NS (P = .007). COP was greater with HS (1 hour; 24.0 ± 2.1 mmHg) and TS (8 hours; 25.9 ± 2.1 mmHg) than NS (1 hour = 20.8 ± 2.6; 8 hours = 22.9 ± 3.1 mmHg; P < .001). CT was greater at 8 (HS = 178.6 ± 36.9; TS = 121.9 ± 33.3; NS = 108.3 ± 23.6 seconds) and 24 hours (HS = 174.2 ± 41.7; TS = 100.8 ± 26.0; NS = 118.7 ± 38.7 seconds; P < .001) in horses receiving HS than TS or NS. CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE Both TS and HS resulted in more effective volume expansion and arterial pressure support than NS. TS produced a more sustained effect on COP with shorter duration of adverse effects on platelet function than HS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Infusion of 5% human albumin (HA) and 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 (HES) during cardiac surgery expand circulating volume to a greater extent than crystalloids and would be suitable for a restrictive fluid therapy regimen. However, HA and HES may affect blood coagulation and could contribute to increased transfusion requirements. METHODS We randomly assigned 240 patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery to receive up to 50 ml kg(-1) day(-1) of either HA, HES, or Ringer's lactate (RL) as the main infusion fluid perioperatively. Study solutions were supplied in identical bottles dressed in opaque covers. The primary outcome was chest tube drainage over 24 h. Blood transfusions, thromboelastometry variables, perioperative fluid balance, renal function, mortality, intensive care unit, and hospital stay were also assessed. RESULTS The median cumulative blood loss was not different between the groups (HA: 835, HES: 700, and RL: 670 ml). However, 35% of RL patients required blood products, compared with 62% (HA) and 64% (HES group; P=0.0003). Significantly, more study solution had to be administered in the RL group compared with the colloid groups. Total perioperative fluid balance was least positive in the HA group [6.2 (2.5) litre] compared with the HES [7.4 (3.0) litre] and RL [8.3 (2.8) litre] groups (P<0.0001). Both colloids affected clot formation and clot strength and caused slight increases in serum creatinine. CONCLUSIONS Despite equal blood loss from chest drains, both colloids interfered with blood coagulation and produced greater haemodilution, which was associated with more transfusion of blood products compared with crystalloid use only.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the in vitro effects of 3 hydroxyethyl starch (HES) solutions on viscoelastic coagulation testing and platelet function in horses. SAMPLE Blood samples collected from 7 healthy adult horses. PROCEDURES Blood samples were diluted with various crystalloid and HES solutions to approximate the dilution of blood in vivo that occurs with administration of a 10 and 20 mL/kg fluid bolus to a horse (1:8 and 1:4 dilutions, respectively). Diluted samples were analyzed through optical platelet aggregometry, platelet function analysis, thromboelastography, and dynamic viscoelastic coagulometry. Colloid osmotic pressure and concentrations of von Willebrand factor and factor VIII:C were also determined for each sample. RESULTS For all HES products, at both dilutions, the colloid osmotic pressure was significantly higher than that in the respective carrier solutions. At the 1:4 dilution, nearly all HES solutions resulted in significant alterations in platelet function as measured via the platelet function analyzer and dynamic viscoelastic coagulometer. Significant decreases in platelet aggregation and factor concentrations were also evident. Fewer HES-associated changes were identified at the 1:8 dilutions. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Dilution of blood samples with all HES solutions resulted in changes in viscoelastic coagulation and platelet function that did not appear to be attributable to dilution alone. In vivo evaluations are necessary to understand the clinical impact of these in vitro changes.

Abstract
Intensive therapy demanding diseases (organ failure or sepsis) are assumed to be the etiology behind a decreased biocompatibility of extracorporeal systems for renal replacement therapy (RRT). There are also potential interactions between different components of the overall therapy. Volume substitutes are known to influence hemorheology and coagulation. To define a potential net effect of volume substitutes on the hemocompatibility of an RRT, we chose an animal model without interfering pathophysiologies. According to the problem of early filter failure and coagulation disorders in critically ill patients, we focused on the hypothesized interaction between RRT and different volume substitutes with respect to blood cell counts, coagulation parameters and required heparin dose. Forty-eight pigs were assigned to four groups of fluid therapy with either normal saline (NaCl), 6%HES130kD/0.4 (HES130), 6%HES200kD/0.5 (HES200) or 4%gelatin (GEL). Six pigs of each fluid group underwent continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH), the remaining six served as the control group. Anticoagulation was performed with continuous heparin infusion. CVVH was run in a recirculation-mode for 4.5 h to force hemocompatibility reactions, thereafter in a standard-mode for 2 h. During the CVVH-treatment GEL reduced platelet counts and fibrinogen concentration and additionally lowered ATIII levels. Heparin requirements did not differ between different volume substitutes or CVVH and control groups. Severe pathophysiologies are not the only reason for a reduced hemocompatibility of CVVH treatment. Interaction of a particular volume substitute with CVVH should be considered when interpreting study results and evolving new strategies.

Abstract
Colloids are frequently used for fluid expansion in the intensive care unit, although its use on several clinical scenarios remains unproven of any relevant clinical benefit. The purpose of this article was to carry out a narrative review regarding the safety and efficacy of colloids in patients with sepsis and septic shock, with emphasis on the most commonly used colloids, albumin and starches. Colloids are effective fluid expanders and are able to restore the hemodynamic profile with less total volume than crystalloids. These properties appear to be preserved even in patients with sepsis with increased capillary permeability. However, some colloids are associated with renal impairment and coagulation abnormalities. Starch use was associated with increased mortality in two large clinical trials. Also, starches probably have significant renal adverse effects and may be related to more need for renal replacement therapy in severe sepsis. Albumin is the only colloid that has been shown safe in patients with sepsis and that may be associated with improved outcomes on specific subpopulations. No trial so far found any robust clinical end point favoring colloid use in patients with sepsis. Because there is no proven benefit of the use of most colloids in patients with sepsis, its use should not be encouraged outside clinical trials. Albumin is the only colloid solution that has proven to be safe, and its use may be considered on hypoalbuminemic patients with sepsis. Nevertheless, there are no robust data to recommend routine albumin administration in sepsis. Starch use should be avoided in patients with sepsis because of the recent findings of a multicenter randomized study until further evidence is available.

Low molecular weight pentastarch is more effective than crystalloid solution in goal-directed fluid management in patients undergoing major gastrointestinal surgery. J Anesth 2013; 28:180-8.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This prospective observational study compared the volume effect between hydroxyethyl starch (HES) and crystalloid solution and its context dependency in intraoperative goal-directed fluid management. METHODS With institutional review board (IRB) approval, 35 patients undergoing major gastrointestinal surgery were enrolled. Fluid challenge consisting of 250 ml of either bicarbonate Ringer solution (BRS) or low molecular weight pentastarch (HES 70/0.5) was given to maintain stroke volume index >35 ml/m2. The context of fluid challenge was classified as related to either epidural block (EB) or blood loss (BL) or as nonspecific. The primary end point was the interval between index fluid challenge and the next fluid challenge, and the secondary end point was the hemodynamic parameter at the end of fluid challenge. Differences in these parameters in each clinical context were compared between BRS and HES 70/0.5. A p value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS Eighty-eight, 77, and 127 fluid challenges were classified as related to EB and BL and as nonspecific, respectively. In the nonspecific condition, the median (range) interval after fluid challenge with HES 70/0.5 and BRS was 45 (11-162) min and 18 (8-44) min, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant. Also, mean arterial pressure and stroke volume index significantly increased, whereas stroke volume variation significantly decreased after fluid challenge with HES 70/0.5 compared with BRS. Such differences were not observed in the other situations. CONCLUSIONS HES 70/0.5 exerted larger volume effects than did crystalloid under nonspecific conditions. However, similar volume effects were observed during volume loss and extensive sympathetic blockade.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study compared coagulation function after resuscitation with Hextend and lactated Ringer's (LR) solution in pigs with tissue injury and hemorrhagic shock. METHODS Pigs were randomized into control (n = 7 each), LR, and Hextend groups. Femur fracture was induced using the captive bolt stunner at midshaft of the pigs' left legs, followed by hemorrhage of 60% total blood volume and resuscitation with either Hextend (equal to bled volume) or LR to reach the same mean arterial pressure. Pigs in the control group were not bled or resuscitated. Hemodynamics was monitored hourly for 6 hours. Blood samples were taken at baseline (BL), after hemorrhage, 15 minutes, 3 hours, and 6 hours after resuscitation for blood and coagulation measurements. RESULTS Mean arterial pressure decreased to 50% of BL by the 60% hemorrhage but returned to near BL within 1 hour after LR or Hextend resuscitation. Heart rate was increased (from 91 ± 4 beats per minute to 214 ± 20 beats per minute) by hemorrhage and decreased after resuscitation but remained elevated above BL in both groups. Resuscitation with Hextend (42 mL/kg) or LR (118 ± 3 mL/kg) reduced hematocrit, total protein, fibrinogen, and platelet counts, with greater decreases shown in the Hextend group. Clot strength was lower but returned to BL by 3 hours in the LR group, whereas it remained reduced for the 6-hour period after Hextend. The overall clotting capacity after LR was decreased after hemorrhage and resuscitation but returned to BL by 3 hours, whereas it remained low after Hextend for the 6-hour experiment period. CONCLUSION After traumatic hemorrhage, coagulation function was restored within 6 hours with LR resuscitation but not with Hextend. The lack of recovery after Hextend is likely caused by greater hemodilution and possible effects of starches on coagulation substrates and further documents the need to restrict the use of high-molecular-weight starch in resuscitation fluids for bleeding casualties.
