Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Effects of hydroxyethyl starch on cardiac output in hypotensive neonates: a comparison with isotonic saline and 5% albumin.
To evaluate the effects of hydroxyethyl starch (6% HES 200/0.5) on cardiac output in hypotensive neonates with low cardiac output and absence of myocardial dysfunction. ⋯ This study did not provide evidence that hydroxyethyl starch is more efficient than isotonic saline or albumin.
