Perioperative colloid choice and bleeding in patients undergoing musculoskeletal surgery: An observational administrative database study
database[Title] 2022-01-31
Summary:
CONCLUSION: When compared with albumin, treatment with HES on the day of musculoskeletal surgery was associated with an increased risk of major perioperative bleeding on subsequent days. Given that HES continues to be used as a colloid in multiple patient populations worldwide, further studies examining the safety of HES versus albumin solutions are needed.
