Abstract
BACKGROUND The treatment of haemorrhagic shock is a challenging task. Colloids have been regarded as standard treatment, but their safety and benefit have been the subject of controversial debates. Negative effects, including renal failure and increased mortality, have resulted in restrictions on their administration. The cerebral effects of different infusion regimens are largely unknown. OBJECTIVES The current study investigated the impact of gelatine-polysuccinate, hydroxyethyl starch (HES) and balanced electrolyte solution (BES) on cerebral integrity, focusing on cerebral inflammation, apoptosis and blood flow in pigs. DESIGN Randomised experimental study. SETTING University-affiliated large animal research unit. ANIMALS Twenty-four juvenile pigs aged 8 to 12 weeks. INTERVENTION Haemorrhagic shock was induced by controlled arterial blood withdrawal to achieve a combination of relevant blood loss (30 to 40 ml kg-1) and haemodynamic deterioration. After 30 min of shock, fluid resuscitation was started with either gelatine-polysuccinate, HES or BES. The animals were then monitored for 4 h. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Cerebral perfusion and diffusion were measured via arterial-spin-labelling MRI. Peripheral tissue perfusion was evaluated via white light spectroscopy. Cortical and hippocampal samples were collected at the end of the experiment. The numbers of cerebral cell nuclei were counted and mRNA expression of markers for cerebral apoptosis [glucose transporter protein type 1 (SLC2A), lipocalin 2 (LCN-2), aquaporin-4 (AQP4)] and inflammation [IL-6, TNF-α, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)] were determined. RESULTS The three fluid protocols all stabilised the macrocirculation. Fluid resuscitation significantly increased the cerebral perfusion. Gelatine-polysuccinate and HES initially led to a higher cardiac output but caused haemodilution. Cerebral cell counts (as cells μm-2) were lower after colloid administration in the cortex (gelatine-polysuccinate, 1.8 ± 0.3; HES, 1.9 ± 0.4; each P < 0.05 vs. BES, 2.3 ± 0.2) and the hippocampus (gelatine-polysuccinate, 0.8 ± 0.2; HES, 0.9 ± 0.2; each P < 0.05 vs. BES, 1.1 ± 0.1). After gelatine-polysuccinate, the hippocampal SLC2A and GFAP were lower. After gelatine-polysuccinate, the cortical LCN-2 and TNF-α expression levels were increased (each P < 0.05 vs. BES). CONCLUSION In a porcine model, fluid resuscitation by colloids, particularly gelatine-polysuccinate, was associated with the occurrence of cerebral injury. ETHICAL APPROVAL NUMBER 23 177-07/G 15-1-092; 01/2016.

Abstract
Background Fast and effective treatment of hemorrhagic shock is one of the most important preclinical trauma care tasks e.g., in combat casualties in avoiding severe end-organ damage or death. In scenarios without immediate availability of blood products, alternate regimens of fluid resuscitation represent the only possibility of maintaining sufficient circulation and regaining adequate end-organ oxygen supply. However, the fluid choice alone may affect the extent of the bleeding by interfering with coagulation pathways. This study investigates the impact of hydroxyethyl starch (HES), gelatine-polysuccinate (GP) and balanced electrolyte solution (BES) as commonly used agents for fluid resuscitation on coagulation using a porcine hemorrhagic shock model. Methods Following approval by the State and Institutional Animal Care Committee, life-threatening hemorrhagic shock was induced via arterial blood withdrawal in 24 anesthetized pigs. Isovolumetric fluid resuscitation with either HES, GP or BES (n = 3 × 8) was performed to compensate for the blood loss. Over four hours, hemodynamics, laboratory parameters and rotational thromboelastometry-derived coagulation were analyzed. As secondary endpoint the porcine values were compared to human blood. Results All the agents used for fluid resuscitation significantly affected coagulation. We measured a restriction of laboratory parameters, clot development and clot firmness, particularly in HES- and GP-treated animals. Hemoglobin content dropped in all groups but showed a more pronounced decline in colloid-treated pigs. This effect was not maintained over the four-hour monitoring period. Conclusion HES, GP, and BEL sufficiently stabilized the macrocirculation, but significantly affected coagulation. These effects were most pronounced after colloid and particularly HES administration. Despite suitability for rapid hemodynamic stabilization, colloids have to be chosen with caution, because their molecular properties may affect coagulation directly and as a consequence of pronounced hemodilution. Our comparison of porcine and human coagulation showed increased coagulation activity in pig blood.

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
The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of synthetic colloid resuscitation among severely injured patients. Fluid resuscitation of trauma patients of a nationwide trauma registry was analysed between 2002 and 2015. Effects of synthetic colloid resuscitation in the pre-hospital setting and emergency department on renal failure, renal replacement therapy and multiple organ failure were analysed among patients with ≥2 days intensive care unit stay, and in-hospital mortality was analysed among all patients. 48,484 patients with mean age of 49 years and mean injury severity score of 23 points were included; 72.3% were male and 95.5% had blunt trauma. Risk-adjusted analyses revealed that patients receiving >1,000 ml synthetic colloids experienced an increase of renal failure and renal replacement therapy rates (OR 1.42 and 1.32, respectively, both p ≤ 0.006). Any synthetic colloid use was associated with an increased risk of multiple organ failure (p < 0.001), but there was no effect on hospital mortality (p = 0.594). Between 2002 and 2015 usage of synthetic colloids dropped, likewise did total fluid intake and usage of blood products. The data from this analysis suggests that synthetic colloid resuscitation provides no beneficial effects and might be harmful in patients with severe trauma.

Abstract
Purpose: To compare the effects of fluid resuscitation with lactated Ringer's solution (LR) and saline-based 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 (HES) on the inflammatory response and oxidative stress in the small intestine as well as on bacterial translocation to the liver. Methods: Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to blood pressure-controlled hemorrhagic shock and then resuscitated with LR or HES. At 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 hr after resuscitation, liver tissues were collected to count the bacterial colonies, and small intestines were harvested to analyze the levels of inflammatory (TNF-α and HO-1) and oxidative stress (MPO) mediators as well as the intestinal injury by immunohistochemistry, colorimetry and hematoxylin & eosin staining, respectively. Results: The expression level of TNF-α in the LR group was stable from 1 to 6 hr but decreased at 12 hr and then abruptly increased at 24 hr. The expression level of TNF-α in the LR group was significantly lower than that in the HES group, especially during the first 12 hr post-fluid infusion. MPO activity decreased to its lowest level at 3 hr but increased from 6 to 12 hr, with no difference at 24 hr between the two groups. Although a decreasing tendency was observed from 6 hr, HO-1 expression levels remained higher in the LR group than in the HES group at 12 and 24 hr, particularly at 12 hr. During the initial 12 hr, the LR group exhibited significantly lower colony-forming units in the liver tissues than the HES group. Chiu's score in the intestine decreased regardless of which resuscitative fluids were used. Conclusions: During early resuscitation (within 12 hr), LR may be superior to HES in reducing intestinal injuries by suppressing inflammatory and oxidative mediators.

Abstract
Background Even though crystalloids are the first choice for fluid resuscitation in hemodynamically unstable patients, their potency as plasma volume expanders in hypovolemia of different etiologies is largely unknown. The objective of the study was to investigate dose–response curves of a crystalloid in hypovolemia induced by either sepsis or hemorrhagic shock. Results Rats were randomized to resuscitation with Ringers acetate at a dose 10, 30, 50, 75, or 100 ml/kg at 4 h after induction of sepsis by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) or 2.5 h after a 30 ml/kg hemorrhage. Plasma volume (125I–albumin) was the primary outcome. Plasma volume decreased by about 11.8 (IQR 9.9–14.5) ml/kg relative baseline after CLP and increased dose-dependently by at most 5.8 (IQR 3.3–7.0) ml/kg in the 100 ml/kg group at 15 min after resuscitation. In the hemorrhage group, the plasma volume increased by at most 13.8 (IQR 7.1–15.0) ml/kg in 100 ml/kg group. Blood volumes at baseline, calculated using hematocrit and plasma volumes, were 72.4 (IQR 68.2–79.5) ml/kg in sepsis group and 71.1 (IQR 69.1–74.7) ml/kg in hemorrhage group. At 15 min after resuscitation with a dose of 100 ml/kg blood volumes increased to 54.8 (IQR 52.5–57.7) ml/kg and ; 49.6 (IQR 45.3–56.4) ml/kg, in the sepsis and hemorrhage groups, respectively. Plasma volume expansion as the percentage of dose at 15 min was 5.9 (IQR 2.5–8.8)% and 14.5 (IQR 12.1–20.0)% in the sepsis and hemorrhage groups, respectively. At 60 min, average plasma volume as the percentage of dose had decreased to 2.9 (IQR ([−2.9] − 8.3)% (P = 0.006) in the sepsis group whereas no change was detected in the hemorrhage group. A dose-dependent decrease in the plasma oncotic pressure, which was more marked in sepsis, was detected at 60 min after resuscitation. Conclusions We conclude that the efficacy of Ringers acetate as a plasma volume expander is context dependent and that plasma volume expansion is lower than previously realized across a wide range of doses. Ringers acetate decreases plasma oncotic pressure in sepsis, in part, by mechanisms other than dilution.

Abstract
Perioperative fluid therapy is an important component of many medical procedures with animals. Buffered crystalloid solutions avoid inducing metabolic acidosis, but lactated solutions can elevate blood lactate concentrations and acetated solutions have not been thoroughly investigated using large animals. Here, the authors compare blood biochemical parameters in 20 juvenile pigs after perioperative fluid administration of an acetate-buffered solution (Elo-Mel isoton, EMI) or a lactate-buffered solution (lactated Ringer's solution, LRS). The authors measured blood lactate, glucose and electrolyte concentrations before and after administering the test fluid during surgery. Blood lactate concentration after administration was significantly higher in pigs that received LRS than in pigs that received EMI, but glucose and electrolyte concentrations did not differ significantly between treatment groups before or after administration. These findings suggest that EMI might be a preferable option for perioperative fluid therapy in pigs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A meta-analysis concerning perioperative coagulation competence, hemorrhage, and outcome was conducted including the use of hydroxyethyl starches (HESs), dextran, or albumin versus administration of a crystalloid as control to assess the efficacy and safety of colloids and crystalloids for fluid administration during major elective surgery. Surgery was restricted to cardiovascular and noncardiovascular surgery, and HESs were stratified to HES 130/0.4 and HES 200/0.5. METHODS We searched Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, ISI Web of Science, EMBASE, conference proceedings, reference lists, and databases of ongoing trials. RESULTS Thirty one primary clinical randomized controlled trials included 2287 patients undergoing major surgery from January 2000 to August 2015. The perioperative changes in coagulation competence were measured by thromboelastography (TEG) maximum amplitude (MA) in 9 studies administering crystalloids versus HES and in 4 studies administering albumin versus HES. All studies but 1 disclosed increased reduction in TEG-MA following HES administration (P = 0.0001 and 0.0002). The total loss of blood was reported in 17 studies in which crystalloids were compared to HES and 12 studies reported increased blood loss after administration of HES (P < 0.003). When administering albumin versus HES, 6 studies reported reduced hemorrhage associated with albumin administration (P = 0.005). Reoperation was not significantly reduced by the use of crystalloids, but may be more frequent after HESs compared to albumin (P < 0.03). In this analysis, more patients admitted to administration of HESs were exposed to decrease coagulation competence, compared to perioperative crystalloids and albumin administration. CONCLUSION This stratified meta-analysis showed that increased blood loss was found in noncardiovascular surgery among patients receiving HES compared with crystalloids, followed by a marked reduction in TEG-MA, and infusion of 3rd-generation HES products did not influence the results significantly.

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
For patients exposed to a massive blood loss during surgery, maintained coagulation competence is important. It is less obvious whether coagulation competence influences bleeding during elective surgery where patients are exposed to infusion of a crystalloid or a colloid. This randomized controlled trial evaluates whether administration of 5% human albumin (HA) or lactated Ringer solution (LR) affects coagulation competence and in turn blood loss during cystectomy due to bladder cancer. Forty patients undergoing radical cystectomy were included to receive either 5% HA (n = 20) or LR (n = 20). Nineteen patients were analyzed in the HA group and 20 patients in the lactated Ringer group. Blinded determination of the blood loss was similar in the 2 groups of patients: 1658 (800-3300) mL with the use of HA and 1472 (700-4330) mL in the lactated Ringer group (P = 0.45). Yet, by thrombelastography (TEG) evaluated coagulation competence, albumin affected clot growth (TEG-angle 69 ± 5 vs 74° ± 3°, P < 0.01) and strength (TEG-MA: 59 ± 6 vs 67 ± 6 mm, P < 0.001) more than LR. Furthermore, by multivariate linear regression analyses reduced TEG-MA was independently associated with the blood loss (P = 0.042) while administration of albumin was related to the changes in TEG-MA (P = 0.029), aPPT (P < 0.022), and INR (P < 0.033). This randomized controlled trial demonstrates that administration of HA does not affect the blood loss as compared to infusion of LR. Also the use of HA did not affect the need for blood transfusion, the incidence of postoperative complications, or the hospital in-stay. Yet, albumin decreases coagulation competence during major surgery and the blood loss is related to TEG-MA rather than to plasma coagulation variables.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES During surgery the volume of administered fluid is debated. Pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (proANP) is released by atrial distension, and we evaluated the relationship between changes in proANP associated with perioperative fluid balance. DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING One university/tertiary centre. PARTICIPANTS The study included patients who underwent radical cystectomy. Plasma for determination of proANP was obtained before surgery, after resection of the bladder, and at the end of surgery for 20 robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) and 20 open radical cystectomy (ORC) procedures. RESULTS The blood loss was 1871 (95% CI 1267 to 2475) vs 589 mL (378 to 801) in the ORC and RARC groups (p=0.001), respectively, and fluid balance was positive by 1518 mL (1215 to 1821) during ORC, and by 1858 mL (1461 to 2255) during RARC (p=0.163). Yet, at the end of ORC, plasma proANP was reduced by 23% (14% to 32%, p=0.001), while plasma proANP did not change significantly during RARC. Thus, plasma proANP was associated both with the perioperative blood loss (r= -0.475 (0.632 to -0.101), p=0.002), and with fluid balance (r=0.561 (0.302 to 0.740), p=0.001), indicating that a stable plasma proANP required a fluid surplus by 2.4 L (2.0 to 2.7). CONCLUSIONS There was a correlation between intraoperative haemorrhage and a decrease in plasma proANP and, taking plasma proANP to indicate filling of the heart, about 2.5 L surplus volume of lactated Ringer's solution appears to maintain cardiac preload during cystectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperative hemorrhage may depend on coagulation competence and this study evaluated the influence of coagulation competence on blood loss during cystectomy due to bladder cancer. METHODS Forty patients undergoing radical cystectomy were included in a randomized controlled trial to receive either lactated Ringer's solution or Dextran 70 (Macrodex ®) that affects coagulation competence. RESULTS By thrombelastography evaluated coagulation competence, Dextran 70 reduced "maximal amplitude" (MA) by 25 % versus a 1 % reduction with the administration of lactated Ringer's solution (P <0.001). Blinded evaluation of the blood loss was similar in the two groups of patients - 2339 ml with the use of Dextran 70 and 1822 ml in the lactated Ringer's group (P = 0.27). Yet, the blood loss was related to the reduction in MA (r = -0.427, P = 0.008) and by multiple regression analysis independently associated with MA (P = 0.01). Thus, 11 patients in the dextran group (58 %) developed a clinical significant blood loss (>1500 ml) compared to only four patients (22 %) in the lactated Ringer's group (P = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS With the use of Dextran 70 vs. lactated Ringer's solution during cystectomy, a relation between hemorrhage and coagulation competence is demonstrated. Significant bleeding develops based on an about 25 % reduction in thrombelastography determined maximal amplitude. A multivariable model including maximal amplitude discriminates patients with severe perioperative bleeding during cystectomy.

Abstract
Background Intraoperative intravascular volume expansion with hydroxyethyl starch-based colloids is thought to be associated with an increased risk of post-craniotomy hemorrhage. Evidence for this association is limited. Associations between resuscitation with hydroxyethyl starch and risk of repeat craniotomy for hematoma evacuation were examined. Methods Using a retrospective cohort of neurosurgical patients at Duke University Medical Center between March 2005 and March 2012, patient characteristics were compared between those who developed post-craniotomy hemorrhage and those who did not. Results A total of 4,109 craniotomy procedures were analyzed with 61 patients having repeat craniotomy for post-operative hemorrhage (1.5%). The rate of reoperation in the group receiving 6% High Molecular Weight Hydroxyethyl Starch (Hextend®) was 2.6 vs. 1.3% for patients that did not receive hetastarch (P = 0.13). The reoperation rate for those receiving 6% hydroxyethyl Starch 130/0.4 (Voluven®) was 1.4 vs. 1.6% in patients not receiving Voluven (P = 0.85). Conclusions In this retrospective cohort, intra-operative hydroxyethyl starch was not associated with an increased risk of post-craniotomy hemorrhage.

Abstract
PURPOSE Mortality rates among the severely injured remain high. The successful treatment of hemorrhagic shock relies on expeditious control of bleeding through surgical ligation, packing, or endovascular techniques. An important secondary concern in hemorrhaging patients is how to respond to the lost blood volume. A single method that is able to adequately address all needs of the exsanguinating patient has not yet been agreed upon, despite a large growth of knowledge regarding the causative factors of traumatic shock. METHODS A review of relevent literature was performed. CONCLUSIONS Many different trials are currently underway to discriminate ways to improve outcomes in the severely injured and bleeding patient. This paper will review: (1) recent advances in our understanding of the effects hemorrhagic shock has on the coagulation cascade and vascular endothelium, (2) recent research findings that have changed resuscitation, and (3) resuscitation strategies that are not widely used but under active investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Low-volume ascorbic acid-buffered reconstituted lyophilized plasma (LP) provides logistic advantages, reduces the risks for large-volume resuscitation, modulates inflammation, and is equally effective for hemostatic resuscitation as full-volume LP. We compared the physiologic effects of resuscitation using LP reconstituted with sterile water (LP-SW), lactated Ringer's solution (LP-LR), normal saline (LP-NS), and Hextend (LP-Hx). METHODS Plasma was collected from swine, lyophilized, and then reconstituted into four test solutions: LP-SW, LP-LR, LP-NS, or LP-Hx. Forty swine were anesthetized and subjected to a validated model of polytrauma and hemorrhagic shock (including a Grade V liver injury), then randomized to receive one of the four test solutions. Physiologic parameters, blood loss, lactate, and hematocrit were followed up. Coagulation status was evaluated using thrombelastography. Inflammatory mediator expression was evaluated by multiplex serum assay. RESULTS Forty animals were included in the study (10 animals per group). One animal died following LP-Hx resuscitation. There was less blood loss in the LP-SW and LP-LR groups compared with the LP-NS and LP-Hx groups (p < 0.05). The LP-SW group exhibited less early coagulopathic changes by thrombelastography, and the LP-Hx group had persistently elevated international normalized ratios at the end of the study period (p < 0.05). Serum interleukin 6 was lower after 4 hours in the LP-SW group compared with LP-NS (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Resuscitation using low-volume LP-SW and LP-LR buffered with ascorbic acid confers an anti-inflammatory benefit and results in less blood loss. Sterile water is a safe, cost-effective, and universally available fluid for creating a low-volume hemostatic LP resuscitation solution.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study evaluated whether administration of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 affects coagulation competence and influences the perioperative blood loss. BACKGROUND Artificial colloids substitute blood volume during surgery; with the administration of HES 130/0.4 (Voluven, Fresenius Kabi, Uppsala, Sweden) only a minor effect on coagulation competence is expected. METHODS Eighty patients were scanned for enrollment in the study, and 40 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Two patients withdrew their consent to participate in the study, and 5 patients were excluded. Thus, 16 patients were randomized to receive lactated Ringer's solution and 17 to receive HES 130/0.4. RESULTS Among the patients receiving HES 130/0.4, thrombelastography indicated reduced clot strength (P < 0.001) and blinded evaluation of the perioperative blood loss was 2.2 (range 0.5 to 5.0) versus 1.4 (range 0.5 to 2.4) L in the patients who received HES 130/0.4 or lactated Ringer, respectively (P < 0.038). The patients in the lactated Ringer's group, however, received more fluid (P < 0.0001) than those in the HES 130/0.4 group. There was no significant difference between the 2 groups with regard to frequency of reoperations or the length of hospital stay, but use of HES 130/0.4 was both more expensive and less efficacious than the use of lactated Ringer. CONCLUSIONS Administration of HES 130/0.4 reduced clot strength and perioperative hemorrhage increased by more than 50%, while administration of lactated Ringer's solution provoked an approximately 2.5 times greater positive volume balance at the end of surgery.

Abstract
Fluid management has a major impact on the duration, severity and outcome of critical illness. The overall strategy for the acutely ill child should be biphasic. Aggressive volume expansion to support tissue oxygen delivery as part of early goal-directed resuscitation algorithms for shock--especially septic shock--has been associated with dramatic improvements in outcome. Recent data suggest that the cost-benefit of aggressive fluid resuscitation may be more complex than previously thought, and may depend on case-mix and the availability of intensive care. After the resuscitation phase, critically ill children tend to retain free water while having reduced insensible losses. Fluid regimens that limit or avoid positive fluid balance are associated with a reduced length of hospital stay and fewer complications. Identifying the point at which patients change from the 'early shock' pattern to the later 'chronic critical illness' pattern remains a major challenge. Very little data are available on the choice of fluids, and most of the information that is available arises from studies of critically ill adults. There is therefore an urgent need for high-quality trials of both resuscitation and maintenance fluid regimens in critically ill children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Impairment of blood coagulation is one of the main side effects of volume replacement, particularly if artificial colloids such as hydroxyethyl starch (HES) and gelatine preparations are used. This animal study aimed to evaluate the effect of a single fast intravenous crystalloid or colloid fluid bolus on blood coagulation as measured by rotation thromboelastometry (ROTEM). METHODS Thirty-two anesthetized piglets were infused with a rapid 20 ml·kg(-1) fluid bolus of either normal saline (NS), 4% gelatine, 5% albumin or 6% HES 130/0.4 (n = 8 per group) over a period of 2 min. Hemostasis was assessed by ROTEM before and 1 min after fluid administration. Within-group differences were analyzed by Wilcoxon test, and additionally overall Kruskal-Wallis test followed by posthoc Mann-Whitney U-test were applied to detect differences between groups. RESULTS All fluids caused a significant weakening of clot strength within groups. HES and gelatine showed a significantly stronger impairment of clot growth and maximum clot firmness as compared with albumin and normal saline. Impairment of fibrin polymerization was more pronounced following HES as compared with all other fluids. CONCLUSION After moderate but very fast volume loading, HES and gelatine impair blood coagulation to a larger extent as compared with albumin or normal saline, while no significant differences were observed between both artificial colloids.

Abstract
Intravenous fluid is life-saving in hypovolemic shock, but fluid sometimes aggravates the bleeding. During the past 25 years, animal models have helped our understanding of the mechanisms involved in this unexpected effect. A key issue is that vasoconstriction is insufficient to arrest the bleeding when damage is made to a major blood vessel. 'Uncontrolled hemorrhage' is rather stopped by a blood clot formed at the outside surface of the vessel, and the immature clot is sensitive to mechanical and chemical interactions. The mortality increases if rebleeding occurs. In the aortic tear model in swine, hemorrhage volume and the mortality increase from effective restoration of the arterial pressure. The mortality vs. amount of fluid curve is U-shaped with higher mortality at either end. Without any fluid at all, irreversible shock causes death provided the hemorrhage is sufficiently large. Crystalloid fluid administered in a 3 : 1 proportion to the amount of lost blood initiates serious rebleeding. Hypertonic saline 7.5% in 6% dextran 70 (HSD) also provokes rebleeding resulting in higher mortality in the recommended dosage of 4 ml/kg. Uncontrolled hemorrhage models in rats, except for the 'cut-tail' model, confirm the results from swine. To avoid rebleeding, fluid programs should not aim to fully restore the arterial pressure, blood flow rates, or blood volume. For a hemorrhage of 1000 ml, computer simulations show that deliberate hypovolemia (-300 ml) would be achieved by infusing 600-750 ml crystalloid fluid over 20-30 min or 100 ml of HSD over 10-20 min in an adult male.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The examination of the recent literature aimed at analysing the most recent data that could affect decisions regarding the use of colloids in trauma resuscitation. RECENT FINDINGS Animal data have generally shown a beneficial effect of colloids in trauma resuscitation, with improvements in capillary leak demonstrated in lung, intestine and brain. In most studies, hydroxyethyl starch resuscitation was more effective than crystalloid and decreased markers of inflammatory processes were observed. Brain injury in animals was attenuated with colloids. In uncontrolled haemorrhage, resuscitation with colloid increased bleeding and mortality.Human studies have also failed to confirm the suggestion that albumin resuscitation may be associated with a worse outcome in head injury. However, there is a strong suggestion that aggressive prehospital resuscitation, particularly with colloid, may be harmful. Studies in burns have consistently shown an improvement in the tendency to fluid overload with the inclusion of colloid in the resuscitation strategy, but so far no outcome benefit has been shown.Two studies of general trauma resuscitation have shown apparent benefit from the use of HES in early resuscitation with reductions in mortality and in renal injury. SUMMARY Recent trauma studies provide ongoing, but not conclusive, evidence of a benefit from colloid resuscitation in trauma.

Abstract
The platelet count varies two-fold among healthy individuals. Considering the haemostatic role of platelets, this study evaluated the relation between cardiovascular and metabolic responses to uncontrolled haemorrhage and the pretrauma platelet count in pigs. A laceration liver injury was inflicted in 19 pigs (34 ± 3 kg; mean ± SD). To simulate a prehospital setting, fluid administration was delayed 7 min and was then by lactated Ringer. After 30 min, the fluid administered was by hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 to stabilize the blood volume. The platelet count for the pigs was 385 (193-507) × 10⁹/l (median (range)). The injury was similar for all pigs and caused a similar blood loss (1.4 ± 0.4 and 2.4 ± 0.4 l after administration of lactated Ringer and hydroxyethyl starch, respectively) and survival time (79 ± 17 min). At baseline, none of the cardiovascular variables were related to the pretrauma platelet count. After administration of lactated Ringer and hydroxyethyl starch, however, mean arterial pressure (R² = 0.60, P < 0.001 and R² = 0.52, P < 0.01), cardiac output (R² = 0.36, P < 0.05 and R² = 0.84, P < 0.0001), and thus oxygen delivery (R² = 0.38, P < 0.05 and R² = 0.92, P < 0.0001) related to the pretrauma platelet count and at 60 min, that was also the case for standard base excess (R² = 0.37, P < 0.01), bicarbonate (R² = 0.44, P < 0.01), and oxygen uptake (R² = 0.51, P < 0.01). Following a liver trauma in pigs, the immediate cardiovascular and metabolic responses were related to the pretrauma platelet count although it did not affect the blood loss. These results support that platelets exert functions during bleeding beyond their importance for clot formation.

Abstract
Despite evidence from clinical studies and meta-analyses that resuscitation with colloids or crystalloids is equally effective in critically ill patients, and despite reports from high-quality clinical trials and meta-analyses regarding nephrotoxic effects, increased risk of bleeding, and a trend toward higher mortality in these patients after the use of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) solutions, colloids remain popular and the use of HES solutions is increasing worldwide. We investigated the major rationales for colloid use, namely that colloids are more effective plasma expanders than crystalloids, that synthetic colloids are as safe as albumin, that HES solutions have the best risk/benefit profile among the synthetic colloids, and that the third-generation HES 130/0.4 has fewer adverse effects than older starches. Evidence from clinical studies shows that comparable resuscitation is achieved with considerably less crystalloid volumes than frequently suggested, namely, <2-fold the volume of colloids. Albumin is safe in intensive care unit patients except in patients with closed head injury. All synthetic colloids, namely, dextran, gelatin, and HES have dose-related side effects, which are coagulopathy, renal failure, and tissue storage. In patients with severe sepsis, higher doses of HES may be associated with excess mortality. The assumption that third-generation HES 130/0.4 has fewer adverse effects is yet unproven. Clinical trials on HES 130/0.4 have notable shortcomings. Mostly, they were not performed in intensive care unit or emergency department patients, had short observation periods of 24 to 48 hours, used cumulative doses below 1 daily dose limit (50 mL/kg), and used unsuitable control fluids such as other HES solutions or gelatins. In conclusion, the preferred use of colloidal solutions for resuscitation of patients with acute hypovolemia is based on rationales that are not supported by clinical evidence. Synthetic colloids are not superior in critically ill adults and children but must be considered harmful depending on the cumulative dose administered. Safe threshold doses need to be determined in studies in high-risk patients and observation periods of 90 days. Such studies on HES 130/0.4 are still lacking despite its widespread and increasing use. Because there are safer and equally effective alternatives in the form of crystalloids, use of synthetic colloids should be avoided except in the context of clinical studies.

Abstract
Haemorrhage remains a major cause of potentially preventable deaths. Trauma and massive transfusion are associated with coagulopathy secondary to tissue injury, hypoperfusion, dilution and consumption of clotting factors and platelets. Concepts of damage control surgery have evolved, prioritizing the early control of the cause of bleeding by non-definitive means, while haemostatic control resuscitation seeks early control of coagulopathy. Haemostatic resuscitation provides transfusions with plasma and platelets in addition to red blood cells (RBCs) in an immediate and sustained manner as part of the transfusion protocol for massively bleeding patients. Transfusion of RBCs, plasma and platelets in a similar proportion as in whole blood prevents both hypovolaemia and coagulopathy. Although an early and effective reversal of coagulopathy is documented, the most effective means of preventing coagulopathy of massive transfusion remains debated and randomized controlled studies are lacking. Results from recent before-and-after studies in massively bleeding patients indicate that trauma exsanguination protocols involving the early administration of plasma and platelets are associated with improved survival. Furthermore, viscoelastic whole blood assays, such as thrombelastography (TEG)/rotation thromboelastometry (ROTEM), appear advantageous for identifying coagulopathy in patients with severe haemorrhage, as opposed to conventional coagulation assays. In our view, patients with uncontrolled bleeding, regardless of its cause, should be treated with goal-directed haemostatic control resuscitation involving the early administration of plasma and platelets and based on the results of the TEG/ROTEM analysis. The aim of the goal-directed therapy should be to maintain a normal haemostatic competence until surgical haemostasis is achieved, as this appears to be associated with reduced mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The objective of this study was to find out the effect of various doses of hydroxyethyl starch (HES), gelatine or Ringer's acetate on cardiac and stroke volume index after cardiac surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS Three consecutive boluses (each 7 mL·kg(-1)) of either 6% HES 130/0.4, 4% gelatine, or Ringer's acetate solutions were administered to 45 patients postoperatively. The rate of infusions was adjusted according to haemodynamic measurements. Thereafter, infusion of the study solution (7 mL·kg(-1)) was continued for the following 12 hours. The total dose of study solution was 28 mL·kg(-1). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Mean (SD) cardiac and stroke volume indices were greater in the HES group [2.8 L·min(-1)·m(-2) (0.7), 34.1 (6.7) ml·m( -2)] than in the gelatine group [2.2 L·min(-1)·m( -2) (0.6), 25.8 (7.2) ml·m(-2)] after completion of 7 mL·kg(-1) of study solution. At this stage, the effect of gelatine did not differ from Ringer's acetate. After completion of 14 mL·kg(-1) and 21 mL·kg(-1) of colloids, similar cardiac and stroke volume indices were observed and the haemodynamic response was better in both colloid groups than in the Ringer's acetate group. No differences between groups were detected on the first postoperative morning. In the early postoperative phase after cardiac surgery, the effect of a single dose of HES solution on the haemodynamics was superior to the effect of gelatine or Ringer's acetate. However, after repeated administration of the study solutions, the haemodynamics in the two colloid groups appeared to be similar, but superior to the Ringer's acetate group.

Abstract
Introduction Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) solutions are widely used for volume replacement therapy but are also known to compromise coagulation, impair renal function and increase long-term mortality. To test the hypotheses that HES 130/0.4 has fewer adverse effects than HES 200/0.5 and exerts anti-inflammatory properties, we compared the effects of HES 130/0.4, HES 200/0.5 and saline on in vitro haemostasis and pro-inflammatory platelet function. Methods Whole blood samples from healthy volunteers were mixed with 6% HES 130/0.4, 10% HES 200/0.5, or normal saline to achieve a final haemodilution rate of 10% or 40%. Haemostatic capacity was characterised by thromboelastography (ROTEM) and measurement for FXIIIa activity. Platelet activation and pro-inflammatory platelet functions were characterised by flow cytometry measuring the platelet activation marker CD62P and binding of fibrinogen to platelets as well as the formation of heterotypic platelet-leukocyte conjugates. Results Compared with saline, HES 130/0.4 dose-dependently impaired formation and firmness of the fibrin clot but did not affect the fibrin crosslinking activity of FXIIIa. At 40% but not at 10% haemodilution rate, HES 200/0.5 also increased platelet fibrinogen binding and both HES solutions increased expression of CD62P, the main receptor for platelet-leukocyte adhesion. HES 130/0.4 but not HES 200/0.5 increased formation of platelet-neutrophil conjugates and, to a lesser degree, platelet-monocyte conjugates. Conclusions Our data demonstrate that HES 130/0.4 has similar adverse effects as HES 200/0.5. In particular, both types of HES impair coagulation capacity and stimulate, rather than attenuate, pro-inflammatory platelet function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We considered whether haemorrhage after a liver trauma would be reduced by early administration of a pro-haemostatic agent and evaluated the effect of i.v. vs i.m. administration of the coagulation factor VIIa analogue NN1731 on haemorrhage after a liver trauma in the pig. METHODS The pharmacokinetics of i.v. and i.m. NN1731 was evaluated in eight minipigs, and the effects of dose and administration route of NN1731 (i.v. 180 microg kg(-1), n=6; i.m. 540 microg kg(-1), n=4, or 2000 microg kg(-1), n=6) vs vehicle (n=16) were studied on a liver laceration injury in pigs. To simulate a pre-hospital setting, the administration of NN1731 was delayed by 1 min for i.m. administration and 7 min for i.v. administration, at which time fluid resuscitation also began. RESULTS In the minipigs, NN1731 exposure was similar after i.v. 180 microg kg(-1) and i.m. 540 microg kg(-1), with a bioavailability of approximately 35%. The injury and blood loss at 7 min was comparable between the four groups of pigs; however, after 60 min, the blood loss was lower in the i.v. treated animals: 1.3 (0.3) (i.v.) vs 2.2 (0.8) litres (i.m.(540), i.m.(2000), and vehicle) (P<0.001). Also, the survival time was increased: 117 (14) (i.v.) vs 84 (28) min (i.m.(540), i.m.(2000), and vehicle) (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS After a liver trauma in the pig, i.v. administration of NN1731 reduced the bleeding and increased the survival time. In contrast, i.m. administration had no effect, presumably because reduced muscle perfusion during haemorrhage reduced the uptake of NN1731.
