Darya Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 :)Good evening ! I wonder about HES in neonatology. Does anybody use hydroxyethylstarch as volumexpander in your practice? What is your opinion about it? Do you know studies about advantages or disadvantages of HES? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammar Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Hi Darya. there is very interesting papers in PUBMED. but absolute conclusion is not possible now because very side effects are thinked to be just for physiologic studies and not real human studies. However it is greatly and wide admitted that the safe volume expander in human, particulary in neonates remains physiologic solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Johansson Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 ammar, do you have the link to the abstract in PubMed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammar Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 There many papers about this. for our interst i give to you exemples to neonatal experience: *Plasma volume expansion by medium molecular weight hydroxyethyl starch in neonates: a pilot study. Pediatr Crit Care Med. 2003 Jul;4(3):305-7. * Hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.42/6:1 for perioperative plasma volume replacement in children: preliminary results of a European prospective multicenter observational postauthorization safety study (PASS). Paediatr Anaesth. 2008 Jul 21. And for physiopathological aspects: * Effects of whole blood, crystalloid, and colloid resuscitation of hemorrhagic shock on renal damage in rats: an ultrastructural study. J Pediatr Surg. 2003 Nov;38(11):1642-9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I will add to the link collection Liet JM, Kuster A, Denizot S, Caillaux-Varin G, Gras-Leguen C, Rozé JC. Effects of hydroxyethyl starch on cardiac output in hypotensive neonates: a comparison with isotonic saline and 5% albumin. Acta Paediatr. 2006 May;95(5):555-60.

Darya Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Thank you very much! However, as I see, nobody has own experience in using HES? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Johansson Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 None whatsoever!!!! We use Normal Saline....sometimes FFP (Fresh frozen Plasma)......and on special occasions Packed RBCs....for all our neonatal volume expansion depending on the case. Never ventured far to reach HES :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammar Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Darya, we used it for 2 years for children's with septic shock. but not in neonate, we use Noraml Saline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
