Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[Optimization of ventricular function during anesthesia induction by administering crystalloids and colloids to heart surgery patients].
To describe the changes in cardiac function after administration of three different solutions infused after anesthetic induction. ⋯ Administration of restricted doses of crystalloids after anesthetic induction favors the retention of water and sodium. Higher doses of crystalloids weaken this effect. However, neither of these two regimens leads to a more effective cardiac work load. A combination of crystalloids and colloids administered immediately after anesthetic induction temporarily improves cardiac performance during surgery.
