Brief Summary

Introduction: The strategy of perioperative fluid therapy has an important impact not only on the circulating volume and perfusion of organs and tissues but also on the patient's internal environment. The study aimed at comparing the effects of perioperatively administered balanced crystalloid infusion solutions containing different amounts of metabolizable anions on homeostasis. Methods: In the prospective randomized study, patients were assigned to Plasmalyte (PL) and Ringerfundin (RF) Groups after their postoperative transfer to an intensive care unit (ICU). The infusion solutions were parenterally administered at 1000 mL/6 hours. Arterialized capillary blood was sampled at the time of transfer to the ICU (Time 0), and again at 2 hours and 6 hours from Time 0. The collected blood was tested for blood gas parameters using the Astrup method.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of participants with significant acid basic disturbances related to balanced alkalizing as compared with a balanced pH-neutral crystalloids.

    The internal environment status is assessed at the time of patients' transfer from the operating room to the ICU (Time 0), and again at 6 hours from Time 0. Outcome over a longer period of time is not rated.

    6 hours

Study Arms (2)

Plasmalyte

EXPERIMENTAL

Arm 1: Plasmalyte in 5% glucose infusion solution (PL), manufactured by Baxter Healthcare as slightly alkalizing (Na+ 140; K+ 5.0; Mg2+ 1.5; Cl- 98; acetate 27; gluconate 23)

Drug: Plasmalyte

Ringerfundin

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Arm 2: Ringerfundin infusion solution (RF), manufactured by B. Braun as acid-base neutral (Na+ 145; K+ 4.0; Mg2+ 1.0; Ca2+ 2.5; Cl- 127; acetate 24; malate 5.0).

Drug: Ringerfundin

Interventions

Parenteral administration of Plasmalyte initiated immediately after collection of the first blood sample at 166 mL/hour. Thus, all patients received 1000 mL of infusion solution over 6 hours.
