Background: This prospective double-blind randomized study aims to study the hemodynamic changes following fluid preloading with Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 6% (130/0.4) compared with normal saline (NS) in cardiac surgery patients.
Methods: Forty patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) were enrolled in this study, then they were divided in 2 equal groups, HES and NS. After fast administration of 10 mL/kg from either solutions over 5 min only, hemodynamic parameters, such as heart rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP), central venous pressure (CVP), pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (PAOP), mean pulmonary artery pressure, systemic vascular resistance, and pulmonary vascular resistance were measured every 5 min for the total duration of 40 minutes.
Results: There were significant differences in the cardiac index measurements between both groups at 15 min onward; also PAOP was significantly higher in HES group at 10 min onward. CVP was higher in HES group but statistically significant at 10 min only. MAP was higher in HES group, but that was statistically significant at 40 min only. On the other hand PAP was significantly higher at 10 and 40 min.
Conclusion: Fluid preloading with HES led to a significant increase in filling pressure of the left ventricle (PAOP) and cardiac index compared with NS. We believe that HES (130/0.4) could be a suitable solution for fluid preloading in CABG surgery patients. However, further studies are needed on different fluid preloading modalities with different dosing regimens.

Background: Low-volume hypertonic solutions, such as half-molar lactate (LAC), may be a potential treatment used for fluid resuscitation. This study aimed to evaluate the underlying cardiovascular effects and mechanisms of LAC infusion compared to sodium-matched hypertonic sodium chloride (SAL).
Methods: Eight healthy male participants were randomized in a controlled, single-blinded, crossover study.

: The aim of this study is to assess whether changes in Pulse Pressure Variation (PPV) and Stroke Volume Variation (SVV) following a VtC can predict the response to fluid administration in patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia with protective mechanical ventilation. : A total of 40 patients undergoing general surgery or vascular surgery without clamping the aorta were enrolled. Protective mechanical ventilation was applied, and the radial artery was catheterized in all patients.

Heart and lung sharing the same anatomical space are influenced by each other. Spontaneous breathing induces dynamic changes in intrathoracic pressure, impacting cardiac function, particularly the right ventricle. In intensive care units (ICU), mechanical ventilation (MV) and therefore positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) are often applied, and this inevitably influences cardiac function.

We investigated the accuracy of predicting preload responsiveness by means of a passive leg raising test (PLR) using the perfusion index (PI) in critically ill patients showing signs of hypoperfusion in a resource-limited setting. We carried out a prospective observational single center study in patients admitted for sepsis or severe malaria with signs of hypoperfusion in Chattogram, Bangladesh. A PLR was performed at baseline, and at 6, 24, 48, and 72 h.
