ROTEM Assessment of Modern Crystalloid, Hydroxyethyl Starch and Gelatin Effect on Coagulation

Completed
Conditions
Coagulopathy
Interventions
Other: hydroxyethyl starch
Registration Number
NCT03674684
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Motol
Brief Summary

Modern crystalloid and colloid solutions are balanced solutions which are increasingly used in perioperative period. However, studies investigating their negative effect on whole blood coagulation are missing. The aim of our study was to assess the effect of modern balanced crystalloid and colloid solutions on whole blood coagulation in vivo using rotational thromboelastometry.

Detailed Description

Blood samples were obtained from 30 patients during knee arthroscopy before and after administration of 500 ml of modern balanced crystalloid, hydroxyethyl starch (HES) or gelatin. Rotational thromboelastometry (EXTEM, INTEM and FIBTEM tests) were performed to assess negative effect of fluid solutions on whole blood coagulation.
