Perioperative Gelatin Use Is Associated With Increased Complication Rates and Does Not Prevent Postoperative Fluid Overload in Patients Undergoing Elective Cardiac Surgery.
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. ⋯ 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.

Stroke Volume and Arterial Pressure Fluid Responsiveness in Patients With Elevated Stroke Volume Variation Undergoing Major Vascular Surgery: A Prospective Intervention Study.
The identification of potential hemodynamic indicators to increase the predictive power of stroke-volume variation (SVV) for mean arterial pressure (MAP) and stroke volume (SV) fluid responsiveness. ⋯ The PPV and Edyn showed good accuracy for the prediction of MAP and SV responsiveness in patients with elevated SVV during vascular surgery. Either PPV or Edyn may be used in conjunction with SVV to better predict MAP and SV fluid responsiveness in patients undergoing vascular surgery.
