Objective: A pilot study to examine the impact of crystalloid versus albumin hemodilution on coagulation using thromboelastometry in pregnant patients.
Methods: This prospective, observational pilot study included seventy-six pregnant patients at term (≥37 weeks) without history of bleeding or clotting disorder or on anticoagulation. Blood was collected and diluted with either Plasma-Lyte or albumin at the following levels: 0%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%. Thromboelastometry was performed to assess for coagulation changes.
Results: There was a small, statistically significant difference in the FIBTEM A5 between the Plasma-Lyte and albumin samples. However, the predicted probability of coagulopathy, using FIBTEM A5 less than 12 mm, was not different between the groups at any dilution. There was no difference in EXTEM clotting time at low-moderate levels of hemodilution. At dilutions above 40%, the albumin group had a significantly greater prolongation in clotting time compared to the Plasma-Lyte group.
Conclusion: When albumin is used at low-moderate levels of hemodilution in parturients there is no additional risk of coagulopathy compared to hemodilution with crystalloid. Given that colloids are frequently used to restore intravascular volume during massive hemorrhage, these results support that during early stages of hemorrhage, albumin may not contribute to additional coagulopathy beyond that of hemodilution, although further studies are needed.

Traditional vs. modified Ringer lactate-based del Nido cardioplegia impacts on clinical outcomes in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting: Results from a prospective, randomized, blinded trial.

Introduction: Myocardial protection with cardioplegia is a crucial approach to mitigate myocardial damage during coronary bypass grafting surgery (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The major component of the del Nido cardioplegia solution, Plasma-Lyte A, is difficult to obtain in Iran due to high cost. The objective of the current study was to study if the lactated Ringer's solution as the base for del Nido solution (LR DN) usage is a viable option as a substitute for Plasma-Lyte A in adult patients presenting for CABG surgery.

Department of Anesthesiology, The First Affiliated Hospital of USTC, Division of Life Sciences and Medicine, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, Anhui, 230001, People's Republic of China.
Objective: To investigate the effect of sodium bicarbonate Ringer's solution (BRS) on the degradation of endothelial glycocalyx components in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) during cardiac surgery, and to evaluate its impact on endothelial glycocalyx preservation and postoperative recovery.
Patients And Methods: A total of eight patients scheduled for elective CPB heart surgery were included and randomly divided into two groups: the sodium lactate Ringer's solution (LRS) group and the BRS group. ELISA was used to measure plasma concentrations of syndecan-1, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, and TGF-β at predefined time points: T0 (before induction of anesthesia), T3 (immediately after weaning from CPB), T5 and T6 (24 and 72 hours postoperatively).
Impact of the Amount of Intravenous Glucose Administration on Hospitalization for Acute Gastroenteritis in a Pediatric Emergency Department.

From the Service of Pediatric Emergency Medicine, CHU Sainte-Justine, Montreal.
Introduction: In case of failure of oral rehydration, children with acute gastroenteritis can be hydrated using intravenous (IV) solution. The choice of the intravenous solution itself (solutions containing dextrose versus crystalloids alone) and the glucose quantities to administer are not well established.
Objectives: The main objective of this study was to evaluate the association between the amount of intravenous glucose provided and hospitalization for children with acute gastroenteritis.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the potential impact of administering albumin and loop diuretics together on in-hospital mortality in septic shock patients.
Methods: Data from the MIMIC-IV database was used for a retrospective cohort study analyzing 3,298 adult septic shock patients. The Cox proportional hazards model and propensity score matching (PSM) were utilized to assess the relationship between loop diuretic administration and in-hospital mortality.
