Abstract
OBJECTIVES Colloids are added to the priming solution of the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) pump to maintain colloid osmotic pressure and prevent fluid overload. This study aimed to compare the effects of 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 and ringer's lactate (RL) priming solution on patients' outcomes undergoing isolated heart valve surgery with CPB. METHODS This randomized clinical trial included one hundred and 20 patients undergoing heart valve surgery, and those were allocated into two groups. Patients in the RL group received 1500 mL of RL, and those in the RL + HES group were given 500 mL of HES and 1000 mL of RL. RESULTS The patients' median age was 52 (IQR 42-60) and 50 (IQR 40-61) years in the RL + HES and the RL group, respectively (p = .71). The number of cases that required blood product transfusion in both the operating room and intensive care unit was also significantly higher in the RL + HES group compared to the RL group (RR 2.04, 95% CI 1.50-2.76; p < .01 and RR 1.42, 95% CI 1.01-2.01; p = .05, respectively). Declines in postoperative creatinine levels and platelet counts were higher in the RL + HES compared to the RL group (between-subjects effect p = .007 and p = .038, respectively), while the incidence of acute kidney injury was comparable between groups (RR 0.66, 95% CI 0.13-3.30; p = .55). CONCLUSIONS Among patients undergoing heart valve surgery with CPB, 6% HES added to RL for priming compared with only RL increased the risk of the need for blood product transfusion over the hospitalization period.

Abstract
Introduction Acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery is a common and serious postoperative complication and is associated with an increased risk of mortality, morbidity, length of hospital stay, and costs. We evaluated the effect of albumin usage on postoperative AKI in patients who underwent on-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery (CABG). Methods This non-randomized cohort study was conducted on data from adult patients who underwent elective CABG, from March of 2015 to March of 2019. We assessed two groups of patients including the albumin (who received 50cc albumin 20% in priming solution) and the non-albumin groups. We recorded demographic data, medical history, and preoperative laboratory data. We compared postoperative changes in serum creatinine (Cr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) up to 72 hours after surgery with preoperative ones. Also, the stage of kidney dysfunction was assessed according to the AKIN classification. The statistical analysis of the data was processed by SPSS 24 program. Results Overall, we reviewed 506 patients chart [260 (51.4%) in albumin and 246 (48.6%) in non-albumin group]. In both groups, serum Cr, BUN, and GFR increased in 72 hours postoperatively compared with preoperative levels. This increase was greater in the non-albumin group than in the albumin group. However, the difference was not statistically significant between the two groups (p > 0.05). None of the patients developed renal failure or required dialysis. Conclusion We concluded that the use of albumin in prime solution did not have a statistically significant effect on postoperative renal dysfunction after CABG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The restriction of hydroxyethylstarch (HES) necessitated changes in volume management in cardiac surgery, increasing the use of gelatin (GELA) and crystalloid (CRYS) mono strategies. METHODS This retrospective study evaluated the effects of changed volume replacement management to a GELA or CRYS mono therapy on mortality, acute kidney injury (AKI), blood loss, and transfusion in cardiac surgery patients with at least one coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) at a university hospital. Three groups (HES n=938, GELA n=397, CRYS n=205) were derived from 1,540 patients with complete data sets. Data were analyzed by multiple regression models. RESULTS Patients had similar risk profiles, comorbidities, and preoperative routine diagnostics prior to surgery. No difference was observed in mortality and AKI. HES treated patients showed highest blood loss, followed by GELA while CRYS patients had the lowest (P<0.0001). Patients in the HES group had highest transfusion of packed red blood cells (PRBCs) and platelet concentrates (PCs), followed by GELA, whereas CRYS had the lowest (P<0.0001). Fresh frozen plasma (FFP) transfusion, administration of fibrinogen, and prothrombin complex concentrates (PCCs) were highest in HES group. CRYS showed the shortest time of mechanical ventilation (P<0.0001) and left the intensive care unit (ICU) significantly earlier (P<0.0001). Multivariable regression analysis found that colloid volume significantly predicted hospital mortality and renal replacement therapy (RRT), but not AKI. CONCLUSIONS Administration of crystalloids without any colloid showed no differences in mortality or AKI, but less blood loss and transfusion. Colloids should be considered critically and further studies should investigate effects of GELA in cardiac surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES AKI is a common complication after pediatric cardiac surgery and has been associated with higher morbidity and mortality. We aimed to compare the efficacy of available pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic strategies to prevent AKI after pediatric cardiac surgery. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Controlled Trials Register, and reference lists of relevant articles were searched for randomized controlled trials from inception until August 2020. Random effects traditional pairwise, Bayesian network meta-analyses, and trial sequential analyses were performed. RESULTS Twenty randomized controlled trials including 2339 patients and 11 preventive strategies met the eligibility criteria. No overall significant differences were observed compared with control for corticosteroids, fenoldopam, hydroxyethyl starch, or remote ischemic preconditioning in traditional pairwise meta-analysis. In contrast, trial sequential analysis suggested a 80% relative risk reduction with dexmedetomidine and evidence of <57% relative risk reduction with remote ischemic preconditioning. Nonetheless, the network meta-analysis was unable to demonstrate any significant differences among the examined treatments, including also acetaminophen, aminophylline, levosimendan, milrinone, and normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass. Surface under the cumulative ranking curve probabilities showed that milrinone (76%) was most likely to result in the lowest risk of AKI, followed by dexmedetomidine (70%), levosimendan (70%), aminophylline (59%), normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (57%), and remote ischemic preconditioning (55%), although all showing important overlap. CONCLUSIONS Current evidence from randomized controlled trials does not support the efficacy of most strategies to prevent AKI in the pediatric population, apart from limited evidence for dexmedetomidine and remote ischemic preconditioning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Unbalanced fluid solutions cause metabolic acidosis and could be associated with impaired coagulation and increased blood loss. OBJECTIVE To investigate whether the use of a balanced colloid compared with a saline colloid for peri-operative fluid therapy in children undergoing cardiac surgery is associated with decreased blood loss and exposure to blood products. DESIGN Double-blinded randomised controlled trial. SETTING Tertiary children's hospital from 2013 to 2016. PATIENTS Children older than 29 days and younger than 3 years admitted for cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Exclusion criteria were emergency cardiac surgery, moribund (American Society of Anesthesiologists 5), Jehovah's witnesses, coagulopathy, renal failure, liver injury, intracranial haemorrhage and electrolyte disturbances. From the 128 patients eligible, 88 were included in the study. INTERVENTION Random assignment of patients to either a saline colloid (6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 in 0.9% NaCl) or a balanced-electrolyte colloid (6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 in an isotonic solution) for CPB priming and intra- and postoperative fluid therapy during the first postoperative 48 h. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE The primary outcome measure was calculated blood loss until the third postoperative day (POD3). RESULTS A total of 44 patients were included in each study arm. Calculated blood loss at POD3 was not significantly different between the groups (saline colloid 19.9 [IQR 13.8 to 26.1] ml kg-1 versus balanced colloid 15.9 [IQR 9.0 to 25.3 ml kg-1], P = 0.409). Secondary outcomes related to bleeding, exposure to blood products and coagulation were not different between groups. There was also no difference in length of mechanical ventilation, intensive care and hospital length of stay between groups. CONCLUSION The use of a balanced colloid for peri-operative fluid therapy compared with a saline one is not associated with decreased blood loss or exposure to blood products.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130 is a frequently used fluid to replace intravascular losses during surgery or trauma. In the past years, several trials performed in critically ill patients have raised questions regarding the safety of this product. Our aim in this meta-analysis was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 6% HES during surgery and in trauma. METHODS This systematic review and meta-analysis was registered at PROSPERO (CRD42018100379). We included 85 fully published articles from 1980 to June 2018 according to the protocol and three additional recent articles up to June 2020 in English, French, German, and Spanish reporting on prospective, randomised, and controlled clinical trials applying volume therapy with HES 130/0.4 or HES 130/0.42, including combinations with crystalloids, to patients undergoing surgery. Comparators were albumin, gelatin, and crystalloids only. A meta-analysis could not be performed for the two trauma studies as there was only one study that reported data on endpoints of interest. RESULTS Surgical patients treated with HES had lower postoperative serum creatinine (P<0.001) and showed no differences in renal dysfunction, renal failure, or renal replacement therapy. Although there was practically no further difference in the colloids albumin or gelatin, the use of HES improved haemodynamic stability, reduced need for vasopressors (P<0.001), and decreased length of hospital stay (P<0.001) compared with the use of crystalloids alone. CONCLUSIONS HES was shown to be safe and efficacious in the perioperative setting. Results of the present meta-analysis suggest that when used with adequate indication, a combination of intravenous fluid therapy with crystalloids and volume replacement with HES as colloid has clinically beneficial effects over using crystalloids only.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) solutions have shown their efficiency for intravascular volume expansion. A safety recommendation limiting their use in adult patients has recently been made. OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy and adverse effects of HES when administered intra-operatively to paediatric patients. DESIGN Systematic review with meta-analyses. Data were analysed using classical mean differences [and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs)] and trial sequential analysis. A Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) classification was performed for all outcomes. Reviewers extracted valid data, including perioperative total fluid intakes, mortality, renal function, coagulation tests, blood loss and length of hospital and ICU stay. DATA SOURCES Searches were performed in databases (Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane central register of controlled trials), clinical trials register, and open access journals not indexed in major databases. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) published before December 2016 involving paediatric patients who received 6% low molecular weight HES. RESULTS Nine RCTs involving 530 peri-operative paediatric patients were analysed. Compared with other fluids, HES did not significantly modify the amount of peri-operative fluid administered [mean difference 0.04; 95% CI (-1.76 to 1.84) ml kg], urine output [mean difference -33; 95% CI (-104 to 38) ml kg] or blood loss [mean difference -0.09; (-0.32 to 0.15) ml kg]. Trial sequential analysis determined that the outcomes for peri-operative fluid and urine output were underpowered. All results were graded as very low quality of evidence. CONCLUSION Intravascular volume expansion with low molecular weight 6% HES did not appear to modify renal function, blood loss or transfusion when administered to children during the peri-operative period. However, given the lack of statistical power and the very low GRADE quality of evidence, more high-quality RCTs are needed to explore these outcomes.

Abstract
Intravenous (IV) fluid resuscitation is one of the most common interventions in intensive care medicine. Despite clear guidelines, the choice of IV fluid is largely dependent on physician preference instead of high-quality evidence of efficacy and safety. This is particularly the case for synthetic colloids, such as hydroxyethyl starch (HES). The use of HES in critical care has been associated with increased rates of acute kidney injury (AKI), renal replacement therapy and mortality. In light of this, current guidelines and scientific and regulatory bodies do not recommend the use of HES for fluid therapy in critical illness and caution against its use in many other settings. Despite this, HES products are still debated and used. Awareness of the indications, contraindications, doses, benefits and adverse effects for IV fluids, as well as recommendations from scientific and regulatory bodies, is essential to guarantee patients' safety. Poor awareness of optimal IV fluid therapy has recently been revealed in some countries including Turkey. Therefore, we provide a review of fluids used for resuscitation, discuss safety data and adverse effects of HES, such as increased AKI and mortality, and discuss recent updates from scientific and regulatory bodies in order to raise awareness of fluid therapy. We conclude that given the lack of a clear benefit of HES in any clinical setting and the availability of safer alternatives, such as crystalloids and albumin, HES should be avoided.

Abstract
Perfusion strategies for cardiopulmonary bypass have direct consequences on pediatric cardiac surgery outcomes. However, inconsistent study results and a lack of uniform evidence-based guidelines for pediatric cardiopulmonary bypass management have led to considerable variability in perfusion practices among, and even within, institutions. Important aspects of cardiopulmonary bypass that can be optimized to improve clinical outcomes of pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery include extracorporeal circuit components, priming solutions, and additives. This review summarizes the current literature on circuit components and priming solution composition with an emphasis on crystalloid, colloid, and blood-based primes, as well as mannitol, bicarbonate, and calcium.

AKI after pediatric cardiac surgery for congenital heart diseases-recent developments in diagnostic criteria and early diagnosis by biomarkers. J Intensive Care 2017; 5:49. [PMID: 28729908 PMCID: PMC5517801 DOI: 10.1186/s40560-017-0242-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2017] [Accepted: 07/06/2017] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery in children with congenital heart disease is a common complication. AKI is also associated with high morbidity and mortality. The Kidney Diseases Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria for AKI classification are now widely used for the definition of AKI. It is noteworthy that a statement about children was added to the criteria. Many studies aimed at finding useful biomarkers are now being performed by using these criteria. Clinicians should be aware of the recent progress in understanding AKI in children. Main contents Unlike adult patients, young age is one of the major risk factors for AKI in pediatric cardiac surgery. The mechanism of the development of AKI in children might be different from that in adults because the surgical procedure and CPB technique in pediatric patients are greatly different from those in adult patients. There are many biomarkers for early detection of AKI, and some of them are widely used in hospitals. One of the major benefits of such biomarkers is the rapidness of expression for detecting increases in their expression levels. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, kidney injury molecule-1, cystatin C, and albumin have been investigated in some studies, and the usefulness of these biomarkers for detection of AKI and diagnosis of disease severity has been shown. Although there are many interventions for preventing and treating AKI after cardiac surgery in children, there is still no specific effective treatment. Peritoneal dialysis is effective for only maintaining a negative fluid balance early after cardiac surgery. The long-term prognosis of AKI is an issue of interest. Although mortality and morbidity of AKI in the acute phase of disease remain high, the long-term condition in pediatric patients is relatively acceptable unlike in adults. Conclusions KDIGO criteria are advocated as a diagnostic tool for common perception. Early recognition and intervention for AKI can be achieved by using several biomarkers. Further studies are needed to establish effective treatment for AKI.

Abstract
This consensus- based S1 Guideline for perioperative infusion therapy in children is focused on safety and efficacy. The objective is to maintain or re-establish the child's normal physiological state (normovolemia, normal tissue perfusion, normal metabolic function, normal acid- base- electrolyte status). Therefore, the perioperative fasting times should be as short as possible to prevent patient discomfort, dehydration, and ketoacidosis. A physiologically composed balanced isotonic electrolyte solution (BS) with 1-2.5% glucose is recommended for the intraoperative background infusion to maintain normal glucose concentrations and to avoid hyponatremia, hyperchloremia, and lipolysis. Additional BS without glucose can be used in patients with circulatory instability until the desired effect is achieved. The additional use of colloids (albumin, gelatin, hydroxyethyl starch) is recommended to recover normovolemia and to avoid fluid overload when crystalloids alone are not sufficient and blood products are not indicated. Monitoring should be extended in cases with major surgery, and autotransfusion maneuvers should be performed to assess fluid responsiveness.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In paediatric cardiac surgery, there is still not any information with regard to the best choice of priming fluids for Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB). Albumin, Hydroxyethyl Starch (HES) & ringer lactate are equally used, but each has its advantages & disadvantages. Albumin & HES had better fluid balance which affect outcome in paediatric cardiac surgery significantly. AIM To compare priming solution containing albumin, hydroxyethyl starch and ringer lactate during elective open-heart surgery in paediatrics aged up to 3 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS All patients were managed by standardized institution protocol and were randomly distributed into three groups based on the priming solution which is used in the CPB Circuit and having 35 patients in each group. Group A: Receive albumin 10 ml/kg in priming solution, Group B: Receive Hydroxyethyl starch (HES130/0.4) 6% 20ml/kg in priming solution, Group C: Receive ringer lactate priming solution. Primary outcome variable included perioperative haemoglobin, total protein, colloid osmotic pressure, platelets, fluid balance, urine output, post-operative blood loss, blood products usage, renal & liver function, extubation time, ICU stay & outcome. RESULTS Patients receiving albumin had higher perioperative platelet count, total protein level & colloid osmotic pressure, lesser post-operative blood loss & blood products requirement. Patients receiving HES had lower level of platelets postoperatively than ringer lactate group but not associated with increase blood loss. HES did not affect renal function & haemostasis in this dose. Patients receiving ringer lactate had positive fluid balance intraoperatively. All three groups have similar effect on renal & liver function, urine output, time to extubation, ICU stay & outcome. CONCLUSION We conclude that albumin is expensive but better prime as maintain haemostasis, colloid oncotic pressure & reduced blood product requirement. HES will not hamper haemostasis & renal function in lower dose & better than crystalloid as maintain negative fluid balance. Patient outcome & ICU stay was similarly affected by priming solutions.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The decision of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) against the use of hydroxyethyl starch (HES)-based volume replacement solutions in critically ill patients has led to a general uncertainty when dealing with HES-based solutions, even though HES-containing solutions can still be used for the treatment of hypovolaemia caused by acute (sudden) blood loss. This review discusses current evidence of the intraoperative use of HES-based solutions. RECENT FINDINGS HES solutions are often criticized for possible side-effects on the kidney, the coagulation system or tissue storage. Relevant differences exist between modern 6% HES 130/0.4 and older generation of starches. Because of pathophysiological differences between elective surgery and critical illness, the evidence on renal injury and coagulation impairment with HES administration cannot be generalized. Current data suggest that there is no clinically relevant impact of 6% HES 130/0.4 administration on perioperative renal function and coagulation. Over-resuscitation is a frequent problem associated with adverse outcomes. Due to the higher volume effect, fluid overload with HES is probably more harmful than with crystalloids, whereas goal-directed use of HES may be able to reduce intraoperative fluid accumulation and overload. SUMMARY The use of 6% HES 130/0.4 in elective surgery patients is associated with reduced fluid accumulation and no clinically relevant difference in bleeding or the rate of acute kidney injury as compared with crystalloid use alone. Current data do not allow a conclusion on mortality. As they provide no benefit, older starch preparations should not be used.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) has been widely used for volume expansion, but its safety in adult patients has been questioned recently. The aim of this meta-analysis is to see whether or not HES has any adverse effect in pediatric patients. METHODS Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving pediatric patients who received 6% low-molecular-weight HES, published before January 2014, were searched for in Pubmed, Embase database and Cochrane Library. Two reviewers independently extracted the valid data, including the mortality, renal function, coagulation, blood loss, hemodynamic changes, and length of hospital and ICU stay. All data were analyzed by I (2)-test, and the results of statistical analysis were displayed in forest plots. Possible publication bias was tested by funnel plots. Bayesian analysis was performed using WinBUGS with fixed and random effects models. RESULTS A total of 13 RCTs involving 1,156 pediatric patients were finally included in this meta-analysis. Compared with other fluids, HES did not significantly decrease the mortality (RR = -0.01; 95%CI: 0.05 to 0.03; P = 0.54; I(2) = 6%), creatinine level (I(2) -test: MD = 1.81; 95%CI: -0.35 to 3.98; P = 0.10;I(2) = 0%; Bayesian analysis: Fixed effect model MD = 1.77; 95%CI: -0.07 to 3.6; Random effects model MD = 1.78; 95%CI: -1.86 to 5.33), activated partial thromboplastin time (MD = 0.01; 95%CI: -1.05 to 1.07; P = 0.99; I(2) = 42%), and blood loss (MD = 17.72; 95%CI: -41.27 to 5.82; P = 0.10; I(2) = 0%) in pediatric patients. However, HES significantly decreased the blood platelet count (MD = 20.99; 95%CI: -32.08 to -9.90; P = 0.0002; I(2) = 28%) and increased the length of ICU stay (MD = 0.94; 95%CI: 0.18 to 1.70; P = 0.02; I(2) = 46%). CONCLUSIONS Volume expansion with 6% HES significantly decreased the platelet count and increased the length of ICU stay, also might have an adverse effect on renal function. Therefore HES is not recommended for pediatric patients, which safety needs more high quality RCTs and studies to confirm in future.

Abstract
Introduction Recent studies in septic patients showed that adverse effects of hydroxyethyl starches (HESs) possibly outweigh their benefits in severely impaired physiological haemostasis. It remains unclear whether this also applies to patient populations that are less vulnerable. In this meta-analysis, we evaluated the impact of various HES generations on safety and efficacy endpoints in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Methods We searched the PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in the English or German language comparing the use of HES to any other colloid or crystalloid during open heart surgery. Results Blood loss and transfusion requirements were higher for older starches with mean molecular weights more than 200 kDa compared to other volume substitutes. In contrast, this effect was not observed with latest-generation tetrastarches (130/0.4), which performed even better when compared to albumin (blood loss of tetrastarch versus albumin: standardised mean difference (SMD), −0.34; 95% CI, −0.63, −0.05; P = 0.02; versus gelatin: SMD, −0.06; 95% CI, −0.20, 0.08; P = 0.39; versus crystalloids: SMD, −0.05; 95% CI, −0.20, 0.10; P = 0.54). Similar results were found for transfusion needs. Lengths of stay in the intensive care unit or hospital were significantly shorter with tetrastarches compared to gelatin (intensive care unit: SMD, −0.10; 95% CI, −0.15, −0.05; P = 0.0002) and crystalloids (hospital: SMD, −0.52; 95% CI, −0.90, −0.14; P = 0.007). Conclusions In this meta-analysis of RCTs, we could not identify safety issues with tetrastarches compared with other colloid or crystalloid solutions in terms of blood loss, transfusion requirements or hospital length of stay in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The safety data on coagulation with older starches raise some issues that need to be addressed in future trials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Artificial colloids, frequently used to prevent hemorrhagic shock in children, may induce serious renal side effects in critically ill adult patients. The impact of perioperative colloid infusion on the renal function in adults and children remains unclear. AIM To determine the impact of single doses of artificial colloids on renal function tests, we conducted an experimental animal study. We hypothesized that neither the infusion of moderate doses of 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES) nor of 4% gelatin (GEL) would have a serious impact on the renal function of healthy piglets. METHODS Fifteen sedated piglets were randomly assigned to receive an infusion of either 20 ml·kg(-1) HES or GEL or a balanced electrolyte solution (BS, control group) over 30 min. Before and 7 days after infusion, serum and urine renal function tests were recorded and renal biopsies were taken. RESULTS Serum and urine renal function tests (e.g., creatinine, urea, cystatin C, and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin) were within normal ranges, and a microscopic examination of the renal tissue in all groups revealed no major alterations such as tubular necrosis, interstitial bleeding, interstitial inflammation, or vacuoles. CONCLUSIONS In this pediatric animal model, the infusion of moderate doses of artificial colloids was not found to have any relevant impact on renal function. Further clinical investigations are necessary to provide a conclusive assessment of the risk for renal impairment after HES and GEL administration during major pediatric surgery.

Abstract
Human albumin is the conventional cardiopulmonary bypass circuit primer. However, it has high manufacturing costs. Crystalloid and colloid solutions have been developed as alternatives, including a new generation of non-ionic hydroxyethyl starch (HES). The efficacy of hydroxyethyl starch with a 130 molecular weight and substitution degree of 0.4 (hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4) was compared with human albumin for use in cardiopulmonary bypass surgery in American Society of Anesthesiologists’ grade I-II pediatric congenital heart disease patients. Efficacy was evaluated by comparing perioperative hemodynamic parameters, including plasma colloid osmotic pressure, renal function, blood loss, allogeneic blood volumes and plasma volume substitution. The hydroxyethyl starch group exhibited significantly higher preoperative colloid osmotic pressure (p <0.01) and significantly lower operative renal function and postoperative allogeneic blood volumes than the human albumin group. No significant differences were observed in serum creatinine, glucose, hematocrit or lactic acid levels (p>0.05). Our results indicate that hydroxyethyl starch may be a viable alternative to human albumin in pediatric patients undergoing relatively simple cardiopulmonary bypass surgeries.

Abstract
In pediatric fluid therapy it would be preferable to describe distribution and elimination a fluid bolus based on repetitive hemoglobin (Hb) according to kinetic principles. Pulse CO-Oximetry is a recent advancement in patient monitoring that allows for the continuous noninvasive measurement of Hb (SpHb). The aim of this study was to describe the distribution and elimination of hydroxyethylstarch (HES) 130/0.4 in combination with crystalloids using a noninvasive Hb monitor in two cohorts of young children undergoing minor surgeries under general anesthesia. Two cohorts, 16 children aged 1-3 years and 12 aged 4-6 years, were investigated during anesthesia and minor surgical procedures. They were given a maintenance solution of lactated Ringer's and a fluid bolus of HES 130/0.4, 6 mL/kg over a period of 20 min. The whole procedure lasted 120 min, and SpHb values were measured every 10 min. The SpHb values were used to calculate plasma dilution, net volume, and mean residence time (MRT) of the infused fluid. A total of 377 measured SpHbs generated individual dilution plots that showed variability, particularly for the older cohort. Distribution and elimination rates of the infused fluid were calculated. Mean dilution plots were generated. There were no significant differences in dilution, net volume or MRT between groups. A non invasive Hb analyzer could be used to calculate fluid distribution. The variability in the data can probably be explained by reactions to anesthetic drugs, variability in measurement technique, variability in generating the complex capillary signals, and individual variability in baseline fluid status. The latter finding is important because this is a prerequisite for perioperative fluid planning for each individual.

Abstract
Concerns about the nephrotoxicity of tetrastarches have recently increased with the accumulation of new evidence, particularly in relationship to septic patients. Two meta-analyses in 2011 and early 2012 also raised concerns about nephrotoxicity in surgical patients and prompted the present review of the nephrotoxicity of tetrastarches solely in the surgical setting. Seven reports consisting of two review articles and five single-trial papers published between 2012 and August 2013 were examined. Six of the seven studies did not show any adverse renal outcomes following the intraoperative use of tetrastarch, although their data are not robust enough to confirm definitive safety. Moreover, balanced electrolyte solutions are strongly recommended as a carrier solution for tetrastarches to reduce adverse outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Our purpose is to describe the characteristics and the outcome of melamine-induced renal and urinary tract injury in young children who consumed melamine-contaminated infant formula. METHODS This is a descriptive longitudinal study over 2 years in 240 children with melamine-induced urolithiasis screened in our hospital from September 15 to October 31, 2008. Ultrasonography and serum creatinine (SCr), urea, β2-microglobulin (MG), cystatin C (Cys C), urinary Cr (UCr), microalbumin (mALB), α1-MG, β2-MG, n-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase (NAG) and retinol-binding protein (RBP) measurements were performed. RESULTS The children ranged in age from 1 to 82 months, and 145 were males. The largest calculus was 33 mm in diameter. X-ray diffraction pattern of the calculi displayed two diffraction peaks at 10.9° and 27.7° (2θ). Surgical management was performed in 14 patients. In 226 patients without surgical management, the calculi were passed in 59.63% patients within 1 month, in 85.40% within 6 and in 91.15% within 24 months. Increased SCr and urea levels were noted in three and six patients, respectively, at the time of diagnosis. The SCr, serum β2-MG, and Cys C levels at the time of diagnosis were higher than those at 3 and 6 months after diagnosis (P < 0.05, respectively). The levels of mALB/UCr, NAG/UCr, and RBP/UCr at the time of diagnosis were higher than those at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after diagnosis (P < 0.05, respectively). α1-MG/UCr and β2-MG/UCr levels at the time of diagnosis were similar to those at 3 months after diagnosis, and significantly higher than those in the follow-up period (P < 0.05, respectively). CONCLUSION Melamine might injure both the renal glomerulus and the tubule, and that the predominant lesion is urolithiasis. The compositions of melamine-induced urolithiasis are melamine and cyanuric acid crystals. The urolithiasis might persist for over 2 years and cause irreversible damage. Therefore, a long-term follow-up for all patients is required.

Hydroxyethyl starch 6%, 130/0.4 vs. a balanced crystalloid solution in cardiopulmonary bypass priming: a randomized, prospective study. J Cardiothorac Surg 2013; 8:71.

Abstract
Background Since the advent of cardiopulmonary bypass, many efforts have been made to avoid the complications related with it. Any component of the pump participates in occurrence of these adverse events, one of which is the type of prime solution. In this study, we aimed to compare the effects of 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 with a commonly used balanced electrolyte solution on postoperative outcomes following coronary bypass surgery. Methods Two hundred patients undergoing elective coronary bypass surgery were prospectively studied. The patients were randomized in to two groups. First group received a balanced electrolyte solution and the second group received 6% hydoxyethyl starch 130/0.4 as prime solution. The postoperative outcomes of the patients were studied. Results The mean age of the patients was 61.81 ± 10.12 in the crystalloid group whereas 61.52 ± 9.29 in the HES group. There were 77 male patients in crystalloid group and 74 in HES group. 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 did not have any detrimental effects on renal and pulmonary functions. The intensive care unit stay and postoperative hospital length of stay were shorter in hydroxyethyl starch group (p < 0.05 for each). Hydroxyethyl starch did not increase postoperative blood loss, amount of blood and fresh frozen plasma used, but it decreased platelet concentrate requirement. It did not have any effect on occurrence of post-coronary bypass atrial fibrillation (p > 0.05). Conclusions 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 when used as a prime solution did not adversely affect postoperative outcomes including renal functions and postoperative blood transfusion following coronary bypass surgery.
