Abstract
AIM To determine the comparative effectiveness of fluid schemes for children with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). METHODS We conducted a systematic review with an attempt to conduct network meta-analysis (NMA). We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, Epistemonikos, Virtual Health Library, and gray literature from inception to July 31, 2022. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in children with DKA evaluating any intravenous fluid schemes. We planned to conduct NMA to compare all fluid schemes if heterogeneity was deemed acceptable. RESULTS Twelve RCTs were included. Studies were heterogeneous in the population (patients and DKA episodes), interventions with different fluids (saline, Ringer's lactate (RL), and polyelectrolyte solution-PlasmaLyte®), tonicity, volume, and administration systems. We identified 47 outcomes that measured clinical manifestations and metabolic control, including single and composite outcomes and substantial heterogeneity preventing statistical combination. No evidence was found of differences in neurological deterioration (main outcome), but differences were found among interventions in some comparisons to normalize acid-base status (∼2 h less with low vs. high volume); time to receive subcutaneous insulin (∼1 h less with low vs. high fluid rate); length of stay (∼6 h less with RL vs. saline); and resolution of the DKA (∼3 h less with two-bag vs. one-bag scheme). However, available evidence is scarce and poor. CONCLUSIONS There is not enough evidence to determine the best fluid therapy in terms of fluid type, tonicity, volume, or administration time for DKA treatment. There is an urgent need for more RCTs, and the development of a core outcome set on DKA in children.

Abstract
Background Limiting the fluid bolus (FB) volume may attenuate side effects, including hemodilution and increased filling pressures, but it may also reduce hemodynamic responsiveness. The minimum volume to create hemodynamic effects is considered to be 4 mL/kg. In critically ill patients, the hemodynamic effects of FB with this volume have not been adequately investigated and compared to higher quantities. We hypothesized that a standardized FB approach using 4 mL/kg has comparable hemodynamic and metabolic effects to the common practice of physician-determined FB in critically ill patients. Methods We conducted post hoc analysis of two trials in non-selected critically ill patients with central venous-to-arterial CO2 tension (PvaCO2) >6 mmHg and no acute bleeding. All patients received crystalloids either at a physician-determined volume and rate or at 4 mL/kg pump-administered at 1.2 L/h. Cardiac index (CI) was calculated with transthoracic echocardiogram, and arterial and venous blood gas samples were assessed before and after FB. Endpoints were changes in CI and oxygen delivery (DO2) >15%. Results A total of 47 patients were eligible for the study, 15 of whom received physician-determined FB and 32 of whom received standardized FB. Patients in the physician-determined FB group received 16 (12-19) mL/kg at a fluid rate of 1.5 (1.5-1.9) L/h, compared to 4.1 (3.7-4.4) mL/kg at a fluid rate of 1.2 (1.2-1.2) L/h (p < 0.01) in the standardized FB group. The difference in CI elevations between the two groups was not statistically significant (8.8% [-0.1-19.9%] vs. 8.4% [0.3-23.2%], p = 0.76). Compared to physician-determined FB, the standardized FB technique had similar probabilities of increasing CI or DO2 by >15% (odds ratios: 1.3 [95% CI: 0.37-5.18], p = 0.66 and 1.83 [95% CI: 0.49-7.85], p = 0.38). Conclusion A standardized FB protocol (4 mL/kg at 1.2 L/h) effectively reduced the volume of fluid administered to critically ill patients without compromising hemodynamic or metabolic effects.

Abstract
The omentum is the predominant site of ovarian cancer metastasis, but it is difficult to remove the omentum in its entirety. There is a critical need for effective approaches that minimize the risk of colonization of preserved omental tissues by occult cancer cells. Normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride) is commonly used to wash the peritoneal cavity during ovarian cancer surgery. The omentum has a prodigious ability to absorb fluid in the peritoneal cavity, but the impact of normal saline on the omentum is poorly understood. In this review article, we discuss why normal saline is not a biocompatible solution, drawing insights from clinical investigations of normal saline in fluid resuscitation and from the cytopathologic evaluation of peritoneal washings. We integrate these insights with the unique biology of the omentum and omental metastasis, highlighting the importance of considering the absorptive ability of the omentum when administering agents into the peritoneal cavity. Furthermore, we describe insights from preclinical studies regarding the mechanisms by which normal saline might render the omentum conducive for colonization by cancer cells. Importantly, we discuss the possibility that the risk of colonization of preserved omental tissues might be minimized by using balanced crystalloid solutions for peritoneal washing.

Abstract
Sepsis is a life-threatening organ failure caused by a dysregulated response to infection. Fluid resuscitation and vasopressors are used to maintain systolic blood pressure and organ perfusion. Fluid resuscitation can be done with liberal or restricted fluids as well as colloids or crystalloid fluids. This review analyses the evidence for the use of liberal or restrictive fluids and colloids or crystalloids for the management of sepsis. A methodical search was conducted across PubMed, Cochrane Library, and ScienceDirect, and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines were followed for this study. Randomized controlled trials and retrospective observational studies were included in this study. Liberal and restrictive fluid strategies were found to be comparable in efficacy, but restrictive fluid regimens had the added benefit of a lower incidence of fluid overload. Balanced crystalloids were safer and more effective when compared to normal saline. Albumin replacement was found to be safe and showed efficacy in reducing mortality in patients with sepsis and septic shock.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although saline is commonly used during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or post-cardiac arrest care, it has detrimental effects. This trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a balanced crystalloid solution (Plasma Solution-A [PS]) in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients and compare it with the efficacy of saline. METHODS A randomized, unblinded clinical trial was conducted using PS and saline for intravenous fluid administration during CPR and post-cardiac arrest care of non-traumatic OHCA patients admitted to the emergency department of a tertiary university hospital. Patients received saline (saline group) or PS (PS group) within 24 h of hospital arrival. The primary outcomes were changes in arterial pH, bicarbonate, base excess (BE), and chloride levels within 24 h. The secondary outcomes were clinical outcomes including mortality. RESULTS Of the 364 patients, data from 27 and 26 patients in the saline and PS groups, respectively, were analyzed. Analysis using a linear mixed model revealed a significant difference in BE change over time between the groups (treatment-by-time p = 0.044). Increase in BE and bicarbonate levels from 30 min to 2 h was significantly greater (p = 0.044 and p = 0.024, respectively) and the incidence of hyperchloremia was lower (p < 0.001) in the PS group than in the saline group. However, there was no difference in clinical outcomes. CONCLUSION Use of PS for resuscitation resulted in a faster improvement in BE and bicarbonate, especially in the early phase of post-cardiac arrest care, and lower hyperchloremia incidence than the use of saline, without differences in clinical outcomes, in OHCA patients.

Abstract
Background and Aims The extracellular and intracellular fluid volumes (ECV and ICV) vary not only with age, gender, and body weight but also with the habitual intake of water. The present study examines whether the baseline variations in the ECV and ICV change the distribution and elimination of subsequently given infusion fluids. Material and Methods Twenty healthy male volunteers underwent 50 infusion experiments with crystalloid fluid for which the fluid volume kinetics was calculated based on frequent measurements of the hemodilution using mixed-effects modeling software. The results were compared with the ECV and ICV measured with multifrequency bioimpedance analysis before each infusion started. The fluids were given over 30 minutes and comprised 25 mL/kg Ringer's acetate (N = 20), Ringer's lactate, 5 mL/kg 7.5% saline, and 3 mL/kg 7.5% saline in 6% dextran 70 (these fluids, N = 10). Results A large ICV was associated with a small extravascular accumulation of infused fluid, which increased the plasma volume expansion and the urinary excretion. With hypertonic fluid, a large ECV greatly accelerated urinary excretion. The body weight did not serve as a covariate in the kinetic models. Albumin was recruited to the plasma during infusion of both types of fluid. The hypertonic fluids served as diuretics. The infused excess sodium and osmolality were distributed over a 35% larger space than the sum of the ECV and ICV. Conclusion A large ICV reduced the rate of distribution of Ringer's solution, whereas a large ECV accelerated the excretion of hypertonic saline.

Abstract
Background: Studies in thoracic surgery have long raised concerns that intraoperative administration of intravenous fluids exacerbates or causes postoperative complications and hence advocate fluid restriction. Methods: This retrospective 3-year study investigated the role of intraoperative crystalloid administration rates on the duration of postoperative hospital length of stay (phLOS) and on the incidences of previously reported adverse events (AEs) in 222 consecutive patients following thoracic surgery. Results: Higher rates of intraoperative crystalloid administration were significantly associated with shorter phLOS (P=0.0006) and with less variance in phLOS. Dose-response curves showed progressive decreases in the postoperative incidences of surgical, cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, other, and long-term AEs with higher intraoperative crystalloid administration rates. Conclusion: The rate of intravenous crystalloid administration during thoracic surgery was significantly associated with duration of and variance in phLOS, and dose-response curves showed progressive decreases in the incidences of AEs associated with this surgery. We cannot confirm that restrictive intraoperative crystalloid administration benefits patients undergoing thoracic surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this article is to summarize the results of major randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing clinical outcomes of critically ill patients treated with normal saline (NS) or balanced salt solutions (BSSs), address discordant results of these studies, and provide direction for future investigations. DATA SOURCES PubMed (2011 to January 2022) with bibliographies of retrieved articles searched for additional articles. STUDY SELECTION AND DATA EXTRACTION RCTs comparing NS and BSSs in critically ill adult patients. DATA SYNTHESIS Recently published large RCTs comparing NS with BSSs in heterogeneous populations of intensive care unit patients did not find significant differences in mortality, despite positive findings in some end points in prior RCTs. However, there were a number of methodologic issues common to the RCTs including: varying study designs and end points, clinician discretion for the majority or all treatments other than the primary intervention fluid, heterogeneous patients with varying levels of acuity, and lack of power to investigate potential subgroup differences. In addition, there were problematic issues related to blinding and use of nonstudy fluids. RELEVANCE TO PATIENT CARE AND CLINICAL PRACTICE Intravenous fluids are a mainstay of supportive care for critically ill patients. Similar to the so-called crystalloid-colloid debate, there has been a long-standing debate among critical care clinicians and researchers concerning the preferred crystalloid solution, NS versus one of the available BSSs. CONCLUSIONS Despite the recent publication of large multicenter RCTs, the preferred resuscitation fluid, NS or a BSS, for critically ill patients is still open for debate, although the available investigations do provide some direction for clinicians and for future investigations.

Abstract
Sepsis is the dysregulated immune response to severe infection that is common and lethal among critically ill patients. Fluid administration is a common treatment for hypotension and shock in early sepsis. Fluid therapy can also cause edema and organ dysfunction. Research on the best treatment strategies for sepsis has provided insights on the optimal timing, dose, and type of fluid to treat patients with sepsis. Initial research on early goal-directed therapy for sepsis included an initial bolus of 30 ml/kg of fluid, but more recent research has supported use of smaller volumes. After initial fluid resuscitation, minimizing additional fluid administration may be beneficial, but no single measure has been established as the best method to guide ongoing fluid management in sepsis. Dynamic measures of "fluid responsiveness" can predict which patients will experience an increase in cardiac output from a fluid bolus. Use of such a measure in clinical care remains limited by applicability to patient populations and uncertainty regarding the effect on clinical outcomes. Recent research informs the effect of fluid composition on outcomes for patients with sepsis. Current data support the use of balanced crystalloids, rather than saline, and the use of crystalloids, rather than semisynthetic colloids. The role for albumin administration in sepsis remains uncertain. Future research should focus on determining the optimal volume of fluid during sepsis resuscitation, the effectiveness of measures of "fluid responsiveness" in improving outcomes, the optimal composition of crystalloid solutions, the role of albumin, and the effects of "deresuscitation" after septic shock.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Acetate or lactate buffered, balanced isotonic rehydration fluids are commonly used for fluid therapy in dogs and may influence acid-base and electrolyte status. This study aimed to assess acid-base status, electrolyte levels, and lactate levels in dehydrated dogs after receiving acetate or lactate-containing intravenous rehydration fluids. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this prospective, randomized study, 90 dehydrated dogs were included and randomized to receive acetate [Sterofundin® ISO B. Braun Vet Care (STERO), Germany) or lactate (Ringer-Lactat-Lösung nach Hartmann B. Braun Vet Care (RL), Germany] containing intravenous fluids for rehydration. The exclusion criteria were as follows: Age <6 months, liver failure, congestive heart failure, and extreme electrolyte deviation. Physical examination, venous blood gas, and lactate levels were analyzed before and after rehydration. The two groups were compared using t-test and Chi-square test. The significance level was set at p≤0.05. RESULTS Post-rehydration heart rate decreased in the STERO group (p<0.001) but not in the RL group (p=0.090). Lactate levels decreased in both groups STERO (p<0.001) and in group RL (p=0.014). Sodium and chloride levels increased during rehydration in group STERO (p<0.001; p<0.001) and group RL (p=0.002; p<0.001). There was a larger decrease in lactate levels in group STERO compared to group RL (p=0.047). CONCLUSION Both solutions led to a mild increase in sodium and chloride levels and decreased lactate levels. The acetate-containing solution had an inferior effect on the decrease in lactate level.

Abstract
PURPOSE Intravascular fluids are a necessary and universal component of cardiac surgical patient care. Both crystalloids and colloids are used to maintain or restore circulating plasma volume and ensure adequate organ perfusion. In Canada, human albumin solution (5% or 25% concentration) is a colloid commonly used for this purpose. In this narrative review, we discuss albumin supply in Canada, explore the perceived advantages of albumin, and describe the clinical literature supporting and refuting albumin use over other fluids in the adult cardiac surgical population. SOURCE We conducted a targeted search of PubMed, Embase, Medline, Web of Science, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled trials, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Search terms included albumin, colloid, cardiac surgery, bleeding, hemorrhage, transfusion, and cardiopulmonary bypass. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Albumin is produced from fractionated human plasma and imported into Canada from international suppliers at a cost of approximately $21 million CAD per annum. While it is widely used in cardiac surgical patients across the country, it is approximately 30-times more expensive than equivalent doses of balanced crystalloid solutions, with wide inter-institutional variability in use and no clear association with improved outcomes. There is a general lack of high-quality evidence for the superiority of albumin over crystalloids in this patient population, and conflicting evidence regarding safety. CONCLUSIONS In cardiac surgical patients, albumin is widely utilized despite a lack of high- quality evidence supporting its efficacy or safety. A well-designed randomized controlled trial is needed to clarify the role of albumin in cardiac surgical patients.

Abstract
Intravenous fluids (IVFs) are the most commonly used drugs in hospitalized patients. Knowledge of the indications and pharmacokinetics of IVFs is critical for all medical disciplines. Isotonic saline (normal saline, 0.9% NS) is the most utilized intravenous solution. Isotonic saline effectively expands the intravascular compartment, as one-quarter of the infusate goes intravascularly, while the remaining three-quarters go into the interstitial space. The proper use of IVFs in different clinical scenarios is paramount. IVFs differ with regard to their half-life, intravascular volume expansion, preparation, and cost. Crystalloids are more commonly utilized due to their relatively low cost and availability. Colloids are very advantageous in cases of shock or hemorrhage, as they remain in the intravascular space, thus facilitating an increase in blood pressure (BP) prior to blood administration. Colloids are also advantageous in cases of burns and severe hypoglobulinemia. Human albumin (5%, 20%, and 25%) is the most used colloid solution. It remains intravascularly provided and there is no capillary leak as in systematic inflammation. The goal in hospitalized patients is timely and adequate intravenous fluid resuscitation. Utilization of a large volume of isotonic saline may lead to hypervolemia, hypernatremia, hyperchloremia, metabolic acidosis, and hypokalemia. The use of balanced intravenous solutions has been advocated to avoid these complications.

Abstract
Albumin plays a key role in the critically ill patient acting as a prognostic marker and as a therapy in the form of human albumin solutions. However, the use of human albumin solution has varied over time with notable differences between health systems. Whilst its use is widely accepted for some clinical indications, its role has not always been clear in the critically ill and has been found to be harmful in some cohorts. Numerous studies have showed conflicting results and critical care clinicians have not always been guided by robust evidence. Nonetheless, at present the use of human albumin solution appears to be increasing again in the United Kingdom. Below, we discuss the latest evidence base for its use in critically ill patients.

Abstract
This comprehensive review comparatively evaluates the safety and benefits of parenteral fluids used in resuscitation with a focus on sepsis. It also provides a random-effects meta-analysis of studies comparing restrictive resuscitation and usual care in sepsis with the primary outcome of mortality. In the septic patient, fluid therapy remains a complex interplay between fluid compartments in the body, the integrity of the endothelial barrier, and the inflammatory tone of the patient. Recent data have emerged describing the pharmacokinetics of fluid resuscitation that can be affected by the factors just listed, as well as mean arterial pressure, rate of infusion, volume of fluid infusate, nature of the fluid, and drug interactions. Fluid overload in sepsis has been associated with vasodilation, kidney injury, and increased mortality. Restrictive resuscitation after the initial septic insult is an emerging practice. Our search strategy of Medline databases revealed six randomized studies with 706 patients that examined restrictive resuscitation in sepsis. Results of this meta-analysis demonstrated no differences in mortality with restrictive resuscitation compared with usual care (30.6% vs 37.8%; risk ratio 0.83, 95% confidence interval 0.66-1.05, respectively) but was limited by the small number of studies and larger quantities of pre-randomization fluids. Another approach to address fluid overload is active (diuresis) de-resuscitation strategies that may shorten the need for mechanical ventilation and intensive care unit length of stay. Data suggest that colloids may confer mortality benefit over saline in the most severely ill septic patients. Compared with isotonic saline, balanced resuscitation fluids are associated with a lower incidence of acute kidney injury and mortality. The benefits of balanced resuscitation fluids are most evident when higher volumes of fluids are used for sepsis. Clinicians should consider these pharmacotherapeutic factors when selecting a fluid, its quantity, and rate of infusion.

Abstract
Fluid therapy to restore and/or maintain tissue perfusion may affect patient outcomes in perioperative, emergency, and intensive care. Kinetic analyses and outcome-oriented studies have provided more insight into fluid management. Crystalloids are slowly distributed to the interstitial space, and the efficiency (proportion of infused fluid retained in the bloodstream) is 50%−75% as long as infusion continues and may increase up to 100% when the arterial pressure has decreased. Elimination of the infused fluid during general anesthesia and surgery is very slow, amounting to only 10%–20% compared with that in conscious patients. When the endothelial glycocalyx layer is degraded in sepsis or trauma-induced systemic inflammation, turnover of colloids and crystalloids is accelerated and the efficiency is reduced, which may lead to tissue edema, inflammation, poor wound healing, and organ dysfunction. Balanced crystalloids are pragmatic initial resuscitation fluids and improve patient outcomes compared to saline (0.9% sodium chloride). Albumin may be beneficial, but other synthetic colloids appear to increase the risk of acute kidney injury and death among patients in the intensive care unit. Fluid kinetics is likely to change based on patient physiological conditions (e.g., general anesthesia, surgery, stress, dehydration, blood pressure, or inflammation) and fluid types. To maximize efficacy and minimize iatrogenic side effects, fluids should be prescribed based on individual patient factors, disease states, and other treatment remedies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Normal saline has been the fluid of choice for resuscitation, rehydration and fluid replacement during plasma or red cell exchange/cytapheresis. There are increased concerns about its clinical effects and data showing it causes more haemolysis in vitro than buffered solutions such as Plasma-Lyte A. METHODS We investigated whether normal saline or Plasma-Lyte A was associated with greater haemolysis during hours of in vitro incubation with both normal red cells and samples from patients with sickle cell anaemia. RESULTS Sickle red cells haemolysed more than normal red cells did in both crystalloid solutions. The results of 24-hour exposure to saline were particularly striking (median of 163 mg/dl (IQ range 105-247) for sickle red cells vs. 53 (48-92) for normal red cells (P < 0·0001). In patient samples containing variable quantities of haemoglobin S red cells, increased haemoglobin S was associated with increased haemolysis. This effect was greater for normal saline than Plasma-Lyte A (P = 0·12). CONCLUSIONS These in vitro models demonstrate that short-term ex vivo exposure of sickle red cells to normal saline leads to greater haemolysis than short-term exposure of normal red cells, and this effect is exacerbated by normal saline. Whether use of normal saline causes increased haemolysis in vivo is unknown. Given recent evidence that normal saline increases renal failure and mortality in critically ill patients, further studies are urgently needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Iatrogenic fluid overload is associated with increased mortality in the intensive care unit (ICU). Decisions on fluid therapy may, at times, be based on other factors than physiological endpoints. We hypothesized that because of psychological factors volume of available fluid bags would affect the amount of resuscitation fluid administered to ICU patients. METHODS We performed a prospective intervention cross-over study at 3 Swedish ICUs by replacing the standard resuscitation fluid bag of Ringer's Acetate 1000 mL with 500 mL bags (intervention group) for 5 separate months and then compared it with the standard bag size for 5 months (control group). Primary endpoint was the amount of Ringer's Acetate per patient during ICU stay. Secondary endpoints were differences between the groups in cumulative fluid balance and change in body weight, hemoglobin and creatinine levels, urine output, acute kidney failure (measured as the need for renal replacement therapy, RRT) and 90-day mortality. RESULTS Six hundred and thirty-five ICU patients were included (291 in the intervention group, 344 in the control group). There was no difference in the amount of resuscitation fluid per patient during the ICU stay (2200 mL [1000-4500 median IQR] vs 2245 mL [1000-5630 median IQR]), RRT rate (11 vs 9%), 90-day mortality (11 vs 10%) or total fluid balance between the groups. The daily amount of Ringer's acetate administered per day was lower in the intervention group (1040 (280-2000) vs 1520 (460-3000) mL; P = .03). CONCLUSIONS The amount of resuscitation fluid administered to ICU patients was not affected by the size of the available fluid bags. However, altering fluid bag size could have influenced fluid prescription behavior.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to compare the effects on mortality of albumin and crystalloid, used for fluid resuscitation among adult patients with septic shock, through conducting a meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis (TSA). DESIGN AND SETTING Meta-analysis and TSA conducted at Shanghai Jiao Tong University Affiliated Sixth People's Hospital, Shanghai, China. METHODS Data were collected from several major databases including MEDLINE, EMBASE, Clinical Trials.gov and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Studies that compared the effects of albumin therapy versus crystalloid therapy on mortality among adult septic shock patients were eligible for inclusion in the analyses. The study name, year of publication, country of the trial, albumin concentration, type of crystalloid and all reported mortalities at different follow-up endpoints were extracted. RESULTS Compared with crystalloid, albumin did not decrease all-cause mortality at the final follow-up. However, in TSA, the required information size was not achieved in all groups, which means that the effect size was not definitive and further RCTs are needed to confirm or deny these findings. CONCLUSIONS Compared with crystalloid solutions, albumin was unable to decrease all-cause mortality. However, TSA indicated that these results could be false-negative. Additional randomized controlled trials are needed to clarify this discrepancy.

Abstract
Since 1968, when Baxter and Shires developed the Parkland formula, little progress has been made in the field of fluid therapy for burn resuscitation, despite advances in haemodynamic monitoring, establishment of the 'goal-directed therapy' concept, and the development of new colloid and crystalloid solutions. Burn patients receive a larger amount of fluids in the first hours than any other trauma patients. Initial resuscitation is based on crystalloids because of the increased capillary permeability occurring during the first 24 h. After that time, some colloids, but not all, are accepted. Since the emergence of the Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee alert from the European Medicines Agency concerning hydroxyethyl starches, solutions containing this component are not recommended for burns. But the question is: what do we really know about fluid resuscitation in burns? To provide an answer, we carried out a non-systematic review to clarify how to quantify the amount of fluids needed, what the current evidence says about the available solutions, and which solution is the most appropriate for burn patients based on the available knowledge.

Abstract
Purpose There are no evidence-based guidelines for volume replacement during surgical procedures such as laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, the administration of a restrictive volume of crystalloids could be more cost-effective and safe. This trial aimed to determine the effectiveness and safety of a restrictive regimen of crystalloids in patients during laparoscopic cholecystectomy by analyzing its cost-effectiveness and 1-year morbidity rate. Patients and methods In this randomized, prospective study, patients were assigned to one of three groups based on the volume of fluid administered: the restrictive group received 1 mL/kg/hr, the low liberal group received 5 mL/kg/hr, and the high liberal group received 15 mL/kg/hr of Ringer’s solution intraoperatively. There were 40 patients in each group. Each patient’s hemodynamic parameters and laboratory values (arterial blood gas and lactate levels) were measured together with their consumption of crystalloids, volatile anesthetics, and analgesics. Results Analysis of the hemodynamic and laboratory parameters revealed no signs of global hypoperfusion in any of the groups analyzed. There was no significant difference in the duration of surgery and anesthesia, but the consumption of crystalloids, volatile anesthetics, and opioids was significantly lower in the restrictive group, compared with the low and high liberal groups. Although there was no significant difference in the 1-year morbidity among the groups, heart failure was observed in one patient in the high liberal group in the early postoperative period. Conclusion Restrictive fluid therapy during laparoscopic cholecystectomy is justified, safe, and more cost-effective than other options.

Abstract
Volume resuscitation to correct hypotension in surgical and critically ill patients is a common practice. Available evidence suggests that iatrogenic volume overload is associated with worse outcomes in established acute kidney injury. Intraoperative arterial hypotension is associated with postoperative renal dysfunction, and prompt correction with fluid management protocols that combine inotrope infusions with volume therapy targeted to indices of volume responsiveness should be considered. From the perspective of renal function, the minimum amount of intravenous fluid required to maintain perfusion and oxygen delivery is desirable. Available evidence and expert opinion suggest that balanced crystalloid solutions are preferable to isotonic saline for volume resuscitation. Moreover, albumin has a similar safety profile as crystalloids. Hetastarch-containing colloids have a clear association with acute kidney injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is one of the most distressing complications following surgery. Supplemental perioperative fluid therapy might be an effective strategy to reduce PONV in children. OBJECTIVES The study was conducted to evaluate the effects of intraoperative liberal fluid therapy with crystalloids on PONV in children. METHODS In this randomized trial, a total of 150 children of 3-7 years undergoing lower abdominal and penile surgery under general anesthesia were randomly assigned into two groups. "Restricted group" received 10 mL kg-1 h-1 and "Liberal group" received 30 mL kg-1 h-1 infusion of Ringer's lactate solution intraoperatively. All patients received a caudal block and intravenous paracetamol for analgesia. No opioids and muscle relaxants were used. All episodes of nausea-vomiting and the requirement of rescue antiemetic were assessed during 24 hours postoperatively. RESULTS The incidence of PONV was significantly less in the liberal group patients as compared to the restricted group; 33 (45.8%) patients in the restricted group had vomiting as compared to 20 (27.4%) patients in the liberal group (RR 0.59, 95% CI: 0.38-0.93, P=.021). The adjusted odds ratio of PONV for the liberal group vs restricted group was 2.24 (95% CI: 1.12-4.48, P=.022). The incidence of fluid intake during the first 6 postoperative hours was significantly higher in the restricted group patients; 60 (83%) children in the restricted group complained of thirst as compared to 12 (17%) children in the liberal group (RR 0.19, 95% CI: 0.18-0.33, P=.0001). The parents of the liberal group were more satisfied as compared to the restricted group (mean difference -0.9, 95% CI: -1.8, -0.1, P=.04). None of the children had any complication attributed to the liberal fluid therapy. CONCLUSION Liberal intraoperative fluid therapy was found to be effective in reducing PONV in children undergoing lower abdominal surgery.

Abstract
This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the safety of gelatin versus hydroxyethyl starches (HES) and crystalloids when used for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)-priming in cardiac surgery. MEDLINE (Pubmed), Embase and CENTRAL were searched. We included only randomized, controlled trials comparing CPB-priming with gelatin with either crystalloids or HES-solutions of the newest generation. The primary endpoint was the blood loss during the first 24 hours. Secondary outcomes included perioperative transfusion requirements, postoperative kidney function, postoperative ventilation times and length of stay on the intensive care unit. Sixteen studies were identified, of which only ten met the inclusion criteria, representing a total of 824 adult patients: 4 studies compared gelatin with crystalloid, and 6 studies gelatin with HES priming. Only 2 of the studies comparing HES and gelatin reported postoperative blood loss after 24 hours. No significant difference in postoperative blood loss was found when results of both studies were pooled (SMD -0.12; 95% CI: -0.49, 0.25; P=0.52). Likewise, the pooled results of 3 studies comparing gelatin and crystalloids as a priming solution could not demonstrate significant differences in postoperative bleeding after 24 hours (SMD -0.07; 95% CI: -0.40, 0.26; P=0.68). No differences regarding any of the secondary outcomes could be identified. This systematic review suggests gelatins to have a safety profile which is non-inferior to modern-generation tetrastarches or crystalloids. However, the grade of evidence is rated low owing to the poor methodological quality of the included studies, due to inconsistent outcome reporting and lack of uniform endpoint definitions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several different crystalloid solutions are available for i.v. fluid administration but there is little information about their specific advantages and disadvantages. METHODS We performed a systematic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CENTRAL up until May 17, 2012, selecting all prospective human studies that directly compared any near-isotonic crystalloids and reported any outcome. RESULTS From the 5060 articles retrieved in the search, only 28 met the selection criteria. There was considerable heterogeneity among the studies. Several articles reported an increased incidence of hyperchloraemic acidosis with the use of normal saline, and others an increase in blood lactate levels when large amounts of Ringer's lactate solutions were infused. From the limited data available, normal saline administration appears to be associated with increased blood loss and greater red blood cell transfusion volumes in high-risk populations compared to Ringer's lactate. Possible effects of the different solutions on renal function, inflammatory response, temperature, hepatic function, glucose metabolism, and splanchnic perfusion are also reported. The haemodynamic profiles of all the solutions were similar. CONCLUSIONS Different solutions have different effects on acid-base status, electrolyte levels, coagulation, renal, and hepatic function. Whether these differences have clinical consequences remains unclear.
