Abstract
Plasma colloid osmotic pressure (COP), blood erythrocyte volume fraction (B-EVF), arterial O2 tension at an inspired O2 concentration of 30% (PaO2 (FIO2 0.3)), cardiac index, stroke volume, arterial mean pressure, left atrial mean pressure, pulmonary av[arterio-ventricular]-difference of O2 (Ca-v O2) and creatinine clearance were studied in 16 patients during isolated aortic valve replacement. The patients were divided into 2 groups with different priming solutions in the oxygenator. In the noncolloid group 2000 ml of Ringerdex was used, while the colloid group had 1600 ml of Ringerdex and 400 ml of albumin 20% (80 g). COP differed significantly between the groups (P < 0.01) during and for 1 h after bypass. The greatest reductions were 56 and 30%, respectively. Hemodilution (low B-EVF) was of longer duration in the colloid group. No differences between the groups were found with respect to pulmonary oxygenation, myocardial behavior or glomerular filtration rate. Cardiopulmonary bypass produced no changes in cardiac index, stroke volume, arterial mean pressure, left atrial mean preessure, Ca-.hivin.v O2 or creatinine clearance in either of the groups. PaO2 (FIO2 0.3) remained unchanged in the noncolloid group and showed a small but significant reduction (P < 0.01) in the colloid group. No positive effects of a colloid prime were demonstrated.
