Abstract
The effects of Gelofusine and Voluven were similar despite the 100 kD difference in weight-average molecular weight. Excretion of an acute fluid load containing sodium and chloride may be dependent on a sustained suppression of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system rather than on natriuretic pept...

Abstract
We compared haemodilution acid-base effects of 4% albumin, 3.5% polygeline, 4% succinylated gelatin (all weak acid colloids, strong ion difference 12 mEq/l, 17.6 mEq/l and 34 mEq/l respectively), 6% hetastarch (non-weak acid colloid, strong ion difference zero) and 0.9% saline (crystalloid, strong i...

Abstract
There were 43 subjects who completely participated in this study and included in analysis. From baseline levels, haematocrite decreased in first 6 hours during fluid treatment. This decrement persisted in 48 hours of observation. Statistical analysis with ANOVA test showed the significant difference...

Abstract
We conclude that rat kidney uptake of radiolabelled somatostatin analogues can be monitored for a longer period in the same animal using animal SPECT. Gelofusine and lysine had equal potential to reduce kidney uptake of therapeutic doses of [177Lu-DOTA0,Tyr3]octreotate. The combination of these comp...

Abstract
The aim of the study was to assess the use of gelofusine and voluven for acute normovolemic hemodilution at cardiac surgery under extracorporeal circulation (EC). Sixty-seven patients with coronary heart disease were examined. Heart rate, total peripheral vascular resistance, pulmonary pressure, pul...

We identified two different electrolyte solutions used in clinical practice for amnioinfusion. We identified four additional commercially available solutions that could potentially be used for amnioinfusion. Most of these infusion solutions differ considerably from midtrimester amniotic fluid sample...

Abstract
This study shows a lower need for plasma expanders in patients who receive only starch plasma expanders. Further, we noted a lower COP in the LMSRL group, but since the mean COP was >17 +/- 0.2 mmHg, this cannot be considered of clinical importance. In conclusion, our study result supports the use o...

Although the incidence of hearing loss for the lactated Ringer's group was higher than the Gelofusine group, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups. For medicolegal and ethical reasons, patients should be informed about the possibility of hearing loss after spinal anest...

Abstract
The economic analysis included all patients in the efficacy population (group receiving human albumin 20%: n=30, polygeline group: n=38). It found a standardized cost per patient for 30 days of treatment that was significantly lower (p=0.004) for human albumin 20% (median: 1915 euro; range: 1330-410...

Abstract
OCT accumulation in the kidney was inhibited by Lys and GF (40.7%-45.1%), whereas PGA was ineffective. On the other hand, renal uptake of BOM, MG, and EX was inhibited by PGA and GF (15.4%-85.4%), whereas Lys was ineffective. The combination of GF and Lys showed additive effects in inhibiting OCT up...

We investigated effects of reduced blood viscosity on the hyperdynamic circulation, portal pressure, and vascular geometry. Blood was withdrawn at a rate of 0.3 mL/min for 15 minutes followed by 15 minutes of stabilization. The shed blood or Haemaccel was infused at the same rate and volume as used...

Abstract
No significant effect was found on whole blood coagulation by giving saline (time to peak clot increased by a mean of 106 s; (95% confidence interval (CI) -140 to 354), whereas Gelofusine delayed the time to peak by a mean of 845 s (95% CI 435 to 1255). By contrast, there was no change in the conven...

Abstract
Our study demonstrates that even low doses of the polygelines Haemaccel and Gelofusine profoundly attenuate the tubular reabsorption of the low-molecular weight protein beta2-m. Atrial natriuretic peptide does not affect tubular protein reabsorption. Therefore, the rise in albuminuria during ANP inf...

Acute normovolemic haemodilution was performed in 34 children (4-6 years old, weight: 16-68 kg) in whom major blood loss was expected during operation. Anaesthesia was induced with thiopentone, and then maintained with N2O/O2, fentanyl and pipecuronium. IPPV was used to maintain normocapnia. Heart r...

A recent change from Haemaccel to Gelofusin as the preferred colloid for resuscitation in our region caused us to review patients who were known to be allergic to Haemaccel. As Gelofusin and Haemaccel are both modified gelatine, it seemed likely that cross reactivity could occur. Two patients who ha...
