Perioperative Gelatin Use Is Associated With Increased Complication Rates and Does Not Prevent Postoperative Fluid Overload in Patients Undergoing Elective Cardiac Surgery. J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth 2023; 37:399-406. [PMID: 36621371 DOI: 10.1053/j.jvca.2022.11.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2022] [Revised: 11/20/2022] [Accepted: 11/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The benefit of using gelatin solution in cardiac surgery is still controversial. Previous data suggested adverse interactions of gelatin infusion with acute kidney injury (AKI) or coagulopathy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between perioperative gelatin use and fluid overload (FO), hemodynamic stability, and outcomes compared to crystalloid-based fluid management. DESIGN A retrospective study design. SETTING At a single-center tertiary university setting. PARTICIPANTS Propensity score-matched cohort study of 191 pairs of patients scheduled for cardiac surgery. INTERVENTIONS Patients received either gelatin + crystalloid or pure crystalloid-based perioperative fluid management. The primary outcomes were the frequency of FO and hemodynamic stability defined by the vasoactive-inotropic score. Postoperative complications and 3-year survival were analyzed also. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Patients who received gelatin experienced more frequent postoperative FO than controls (11.0% v 3.1%, p = 0.006) despite comparable hemodynamic stability in both groups. Gelatin administration was linked with a higher rate of postoperative complications, including blood loss, AKI, and new-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation. Use of gelatin infusion resulted in an adjusted odds ratio of 1.982 (95% CI 1.051-3.736, p = 0.035) for developing early postoperative AKI. This study confirmed a dose-dependent relationship between gelatin infusion and AKI. Thirty-day mortality and 3-year survival were similar in the groups. CONCLUSIONS Gelatin administration versus crystalloid fluid management showed a significant association with a higher rate of FO and an increased risk for early postoperative AKI in a dose-dependent manner.

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 Gelatin has been used as a plasma volume expander because of its ability to preserve intravascular volume more effectively than crystalloids. However, gelatin may have detrimental effects on kidney function and increase the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI). METHOD We investigated by retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data whether the administration of 4% succinyl gelatin is associated with an increased risk of AKI after cardiac surgery. We compared two propensity score-matched groups of 1,187 patients (crystalloid group and gelatin group). RESULTS The incidence of AKI was similar in both groups (gelatin 21% and crystalloid 20%) (p = 0.414). The incidence of moderate AKI (8% vs. 6%) was higher in the gelatin group, but there was no difference in mild or severe AKI. Postoperative serum creatine on the first (70 vs. 70 μmol L-1 , p = 0.689) or fourth (71 vs. 70, p = 0.313) postoperative day was similar between groups and there was no difference in the need for new renal replacement therapy (p = 0.999). Patients in the gelatin group received less crystalloids (2080 ml vs. 4130 ml, p = 0.001) and total fluids (3760 ml vs. 4180 ml, p = 0.001), their fluid balance was less positive (p = 0.001) and they required less vasoactive and inotropic medication (p = 0.001). Gelatin was not associated with increased mortality compared to the crystalloid group. CONCLUSION Gelatin was not associated with AKI after cardiac surgery.

A randomised controlled trial of succinylated gelatin (4%) fluid on urinary acute kidney injury biomarkers in cardiac surgical patients. Intensive Care Med Exp 2021; 9:48. [PMID: 34549356 PMCID: PMC8455786 DOI: 10.1186/s40635-021-00412-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2021] [Accepted: 08/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Fluid resuscitation is frequently required for cardiac surgical patients admitted to the intensive care unit. The ideal fluid of choice in regard to efficacy and safety remains uncertain. Compared with crystalloid fluid, colloid fluid may result in less positive fluid balance. However, some synthetic colloids are associated with increased risk of acute kidney injury (AKI). This study compared the effects of succinylated gelatin (4%) (GEL) with compound sodium lactate (CSL) on urinary AKI biomarkers in patients after cardiac surgery. Methods Cardiac surgical patients who required an intravenous fluid bolus of at least 500 mL postoperatively were randomly allocated to receive GEL or CSL as the resuscitation fluid of choice for the subsequent 24 h. Primary outcomes were serial urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and cystatin C concentrations measured at baseline, 1 h, 5 h and 24 h after enrolment, with higher concentrations indicating greater kidney injury. Secondary biomarker outcomes included urinary clusterin, α1-microglobulin and F2-isoprostanes concentrations. Differences in change of biomarker concentration between the two groups over time were compared with mixed-effects regression models. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. Results Forty cardiac surgical patients (n = 20 per group) with similar baseline characteristics were included. There was no significant difference in the median volume of fluid boluses administered over 24 h between the GEL (1250 mL, Q1–Q3 500–1750) and CSL group (1000 mL, Q1–Q3 500–1375) (P = 0.42). There was a significantly greater increase in urinary cystatin C (P < 0.001), clusterin (P < 0.001), α1-microglobulin (P < 0.001) and F2-isoprostanes (P = 0.020) concentrations over time in the GEL group, compared to the CSL group. Change in urinary NGAL concentration (P = 0.68) over time was not significantly different between the groups. The results were not modified by adjustment for either urinary osmolality or EuroSCORE II predicted risk of mortality. Conclusions This preliminary randomised controlled trial showed that use of succinylated gelatin (4%) for fluid resuscitation after cardiac surgery was associated with increased biomarker concentrations of renal tubular injury and dysfunction, compared to crystalloid fluid. These results generate concern that use of intravenous gelatin fluid may contribute to clinically relevant postoperative AKI. Trial registration ANZCTR.org.au, ACTRN12617001461381.

Abstract
This clinical study compares 2 hemostatic agents, a novel combination powder (CP) (HEMOBLAST™ Bellows) and an established polysaccharide starch powder (PP) (Arista™ AH) to assess the usefulness of CP. Retrospective comparative analysis of CP (July 2018 to July 2019, 68 patients) to PP (January 2011 to January 2013, 94 patients) in cardiothoracic patients was performed using linear regression models adjusting for age, sex, and procedure type for the endpoints: blood loss; protamine to skin closure time (hemostasis time); chest tube output and blood products required 48 hours postoperatively; ICU stay; postoperative comorbidities; and 30 day mortality. 162 patients (108 M: 54 F) underwent 162 cardiothoracic surgical procedures including: transplantation (n = 44), placement of ventricular assist device (n = 87), and others (n = 31). Use of CP compared to PP (Estimated Mean Difference [95% CI], P-value) produced significant reductions: blood loss (mL) (-886.51 [-1457.76, -312.26], P = 0.003); protamine to skin closure time (min) (-16.81 [-28.03, -5.59], P = 0.004); chest tube output (48 hrs, mL) (-445.76 [-669.38, -222.14], P < 0.001); packed red blood cell transfusions (units) (-0.98 [-1.56, -0.4], P = 0.001); and postoperative comorbidities (-0.31 [-0.55, -0.07], P = 0.012). There were no differences in the ICU stay (4.07 [-2.01, 10.15], P = 0.188) or 30-day mortality (0.57 [0.20, 1.63], P = 0.291). The use of CP in complex cardiothoracic operations resulted in improved hemostasis and significant clinical benefits in blood loss, transfusion requirements, morbidity, and time in operating room.

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.
