Modulation of inflammation during acute normovolaemic anaemia with different fluid replacement.
Acute normovolaemic anemia (ANA) frequently occurs during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and major surgeries. We investigated whether fluids (with different compositions) used to replace blood elicit any degree of systemic or lung inflammatory response. ⋯ In this animal model of acute normovolemic hemodilution, fluid solutions of hydroxyethyl starch, normal saline, and modified fluid gelatine were shown to be effective in replacing blood during ANA. However, compared to HES, GEL and NS elicited a more intense systemic and lung inflammatory response.
