Abstract | OBJECTIVES: DESIGN: An open-label, randomized comparison of treatments. SETTING: Pharmaceutical industry. PARTICIPANTS: Sprague Dawley rats. INTERVENTIONS: Rats underwent 50% hemodilution with one of the solutions. Control rats were not hemodiluted. Blood volume was determined at baseline and 0, 60, and 120 minutes after exchange. In separate groups, hemodilution and subsequent 60% hemorrhage were examined to determine effectiveness of hemodilution. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Endpoints were blood volume after hemodilution and survival, hemodynamics, and acid-base status during hemorrhage. Volume expansion was similar with MP4 (159% of infused volume) and HES 260/0.45 (145%) and less with HES 130/0.4 (104%). The duration of expansion was longest with MP4 (1-2 hours). In the hemorrhage studies, 2-hour survival was 90% with MP4, 50% with controls, and 10% and 0% with HES 260/0.45 and HES 130/0.4, respectively. The severity of hemodynamic and acid-base changes paralleled the survival, with the least disturbance observed in MP4-treated animals. CONCLUSIONS:
Hemodilution with MP4 was more effective in maintaining hemodynamic and metabolic stability than starch solutions or no hemodilution before simulated intraoperative hemorrhage. The benefit of MP4 is not ascribed solely to volume expansion. The results suggest that perioperative administration of MP4 may improve outcomes in surgical settings.
