RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 electrolyte solution for fluid therapy in the patients undergoing meningioma resection.Methods:Ninety-two American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of either sex, aged 18-64 yr, with body mass index of 18-30 kg/m 2, with expected operation duration>3 h, undergoing elective meningioma resection, were divided into 2 groups ( n=46 each) using a random number table method: lactated Ringer′s solution (LR) group and HES group. LR was infused throughout operation in group LR, and 6% HES was intravenously infused in group HES, with the maximum dose not exceeding 50 ml/kg, and the excess part was supplemented with LR. Goal-directed fluid therapy was used to maintain stroke volume variation<13% and mean arterial pressure 70-90 mmHg. Arterial blood gas analysis was performed immediately before anesthesia induction (T 0), when 1 000 and 2 000 ml of fluid were infused (T 1, 2), and at the end of surgery (T 3) to record electrolyte and acid-base balance indexes. Thromboelastogram was simultaneously monitored. The occurrence of electrolyte disorder, acid-base imbalance and abnormal coagulation function and consumption of norepinephrine were recorded. Patients were followed up at 3 and 7 days after surgery, and the Chinese quality of recovery-15 scores were recorded. The hospitalization time and occurrence of brain edema, pulmonary edema, nausea and vomiting were recorded. Results:In group L and group H, 4 cases and 6 cases were excluded due to prolonged operation time, and 42 cases and 40 cases were finally included, respectively. Compared with LR group, the plasma Na + concentration was significantly increased at T 3, the plasma Cl - concentration and pH value were increased at T 1-3, the plasma Ca 2+ concentration was decreased at T 2, 3, reaction time was increased at T 3, coagulation time was increased and maximum amplitude was decreasedat T 2, 3, and coagulation Angle was decreased at T 1-3( P<0.05). No electrolyte disorder and abnormal coagulation function was found in the two groups. There was no statistically significant difference in the consumption of norepinephrine, postoperative Chinese quality of recovery-15 score, length of hospital stay and incidence of alkalosis, pulmonary edema, brain edema, and nausea and vomiting between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The efficacy of liquid therapy is comparable between HES and LR in the patients undergoing meningioma resection.
