Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialInfluence of a new hydroxyethylstarch preparation (HES 130/0.4) on coagulation in cardiac surgical patients.
To compare volume therapy with HES 130/0.4, a new hydroxyethylstarch (HES) solution with a gelatin-based fluid replacement strategy. ⋯ Volume replacement with the new HES preparation was as safe as gelatin-based volume replacement with regard to coagulation in cardiac surgical patients. HES 130/0.4 is an alternative plasma substitute to treat volume deficits.

Clinical TrialTechniques and complications of one-lung ventilation in children with suppurative lung disease: experience in 15 cases.
To evaluate lung isolation with Fogarty catheters and to analyze respiratory consequences of one-lung ventilation (OLV) in children with suppurative lung disease. ⋯ The use of Fogarty embolectomy catheters for lung isolation in children undergoing thoracotomy is recommended. Respiratory problems are not rare during OLV in children with suppurative lung disease and require immediate management.
