Colloid versus Crystalloidin Hypovolemic ShockControversy www.anaesthesia.co.in email: anaesthesia.co.in@gmail.com
Crystalloids Fluids comprised of water and electrolytes or simple crystals • Volume of distribution-intravascular,interstitial space • Volume - 3 : 1 Examples • Ringer’s lactate, hypertonic saline, normal saline
Colloid • High molecular weight substances • Volume of distribution -intravascular space • Volume – 1: 1 • Exert colloid osmotic pressure • Costly Examples • HES, Haemaccel, Albumin, Dextran
Albumin • 5%, 20% and 25% • Half life – 16 hr • Colloidal osmotic pressure - (25%) - 70 mmHg • plasma volume by 400-500 ml • Vol. expansion occur at expense of interstitial fluid so 25% should not be used for resuscitation • Side effects – allergic reaction
Haemaccel • Synthetic colloid • Degraded gelatin • Concentration - 3.5% • Half life – 2-3 hr • Dose – 20 ml/kg/day • Osmotic pressure – 300 mmHg • Side effects – anaphylaxis, coagulation interference (high dose)
Crystalloids vs Colloids Proponents of colloid fluid • Resuscitation crystalloid solution dilutes plasma proteins • Reduction of plasma oncotic pressure • Interstitial pulmonary edema • Requires smaller initial volume, generate prolonged in circulating plasma volume • Isotonic crystalloid – must be infused at least three fold greater volumes- to achieve comparable plasma expansion and hemodynamic stability
Proponents of crystalloid solution • Additional cost and potential risk of colloids • Removal of colloids- requires longer period than crystalloids in burn and major surgical patients • Sepsis, ARDS, surgical trauma, capillary permeability leak edema • Coagulopathy – Dextran, HES >20 ml/kg • ionised calcium albumin • Impaired cross-matching – Dextran • Osmotic diuresis LMW dextran
What to do ? • According to literature: • Crystalloids - first preference-when available(NS,R/L) • Colloids –Keeping in view of adverse effects and dosage ,colloids can be given with crystalloids • Avoid albumin as resuscitative fluid
