Fluid resuscitation and hyperchloremic acidosis in experimental sepsis: Improved short-term survival and acid-base balance with Hextend compared with saline
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To compare resuscitation with 0.9% saline with Hextend, a synthetic colloid in a balanced electrolyte solution, in terms of acid-base status and survival time in an experimental model of septic shock in the rat. DESIGN: Randomized, open-label, controlled experiment. SETTING: University research laboratory. SUBJECTS: Sixty adult, male Sprague-Dawley rats. INTERVENTION: Animals were studied for 12 hrs after intravenous infusion of Escherichia coli endotoxin (20 mg/kg). Animals were volume resuscitated to maintain a mean arterial pressure >60 mm Hg using either 0.9% saline (n = 25), Hextend (n = 25), or lactated Ringer's (n = 10). MEASUREMENTS: Arterial blood gases and electrolytes were measured before and after resuscitation (0, 180, 360, and 540 mins after endotoxin infusion). Survival time was measured, up to 12 hrs. RESULTS: Mean survival time among animals treated with saline or Ringer's was 45% less compared with Hextend-treated animals: 391 +/- 151 mins and 362 +/- 94 mins vs. 567 +/- 140 mins, respectively, p <.0001. Overall survival (at 12 hrs) was 0% with saline or Ringer's vs. 20% with Hextend, p =.05. After resuscitation with saline, arterial standard base excess and plasma apparent strong ion difference were both significantly lower (-19.3 +/- 5.2 vs. -12.1 +/- 5.7, p <.001, and 23.0 +/- 6.2 vs. 30.3 +/- 2.9, p <.0001, respectively) and plasma Cl(-) was significantly higher (123 +/- 7 vs. 115 +/- 3 mmol/L, p <.0001) compared with Hextend. Resuscitation with Ringer's solution resulted in a standard base excess, and Cl(-) between that of saline and Hextend (-15.4 +/- 3.1, and 117 +/- 3, respectively). CONCLUSION: Compared with 0.9% saline, volume resuscitation with Hextend was associated with less metabolic acidosis and longer survival in this experimental animal model of septic shock.

“potential adverse effects that include hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis, renal vasoconstriction, increased cytokine secretion and concern about acute kidney injury (AKI) have led to increased interest in chloride-restrictive solutions, known as balanced or buffered solutions [326–330].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
