A Pilot Study to Compare Effects of Mannitol with Hypertonic Saline in Combination with HES on Blood Coagulation and Platelet Function During Elective Craniotomy International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN (Online): 2319-7064 Impact Factor (2012): 3.358 A Pilot Study to Compare Effects of Mannitol with Hypertonic Saline in Combination with HES on Blood Coagulation and Platelet Function during Elective Craniotomy Vidhu Bhatnagar INHS Asvini, Mumbai, India Abstract: Neurosurgery requires the use of osmotic agents to reduce intracranial pressure which can adversely affect coagulation. Thromboelastography provides early indicator of derangement of coagulation. A prospective, non randomized pilot study was conducted to compare the effect of administration of either mannitol or hypertonic saline and when combined with hydroxy ethyl starch on coagulation and platelet function, as measured by Thromboelastography. 22 neurosurgical patients, divided into 2 groups, received 20% mannitol (n=12) or 3% hypertonic saline (n = 10) followed by administration of hydroxy ethyl starch (HES). The Thromboelastography parameters were comparable in both the groups at baseline; after administration of the drug and also after HES administration. The results show that combining a single dose of either mannitol or hypertonic saline with hydroxyl ethyl starch does not appear to affect in-vivo coagulation.

The TEG formation are determined by this test: the R value (or parameters like the R value, K value, Alpha (α) angle and reaction time), the K value, the angle and the MA Maximum Amplitude (MA) values were also comparable (maximum amplitude). The R value represents the time in both the groups at baseline. Within group comparison until the first evidence of a clot is detected. The K value is Hb, PCV showed a statistically and clinically significant the time from the end of R until the clot reaches 20mm and decline (Table 1).

  • (Haemagel) Versus 6% Hydroxyethyl Starch 200/0.5 (Haes-Steril) for Plasma Volume Expansion in Critically-Ill Patients Magdy Ali Omera, MD* , Salah A
    Alexandria Journal of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care 44 Autoclaved Gelatin (Haemagel) Versus 6% Hydroxyethyl Starch 200/0.5 (Haes-steril) For Plasma Volume Expansion In Critically-ill Patients Magdy Ali Omera, MD* , Salah A. Ismail, MD* * Assistant Prof. of Anaesthesia, Faculty of Medicine, Suez Canal University. ABSTRACT Synthetic colloids are used to optimize hemodynamics in the critically ill patients and a debate about the most suitable one is still present. The influence of short term infusion of autoclaved gelatin (Haemagel) and 6% hydroxyethyl starch 200/0.5 (Haes-steril) on hemodynamic, respiratory, coagulation, renal and oncotic parameters were examined in a prospective randomized study. Method: Thirty patients suffering from systemic hypoperfusion due to sepsis in ICU of Suez Canal University Hospital were assigned into 2 equal groups. In GEL group: 1000 ml of Haemagel was infused within an hour, while in HES group: 1000 ml of 6% Haes-steril 200/0.5 was given within an hour. The hemodynamic, respiratory, hematological, coagulation, renal and colloidal osmotic pressure parameters were recorded before and after infusion of both colloids. Results: There was a significant similar increase in hemodynamic variables (Mean arterial pressure, central venous pressure, cardiac index, stroke volume index and left ventricular stroke work index) in both groups. Also, a significant improvement in tissue perfusion as judged by decreased arterial lactate was found. There were no significant differences in any of the measured respiratory parameters (respiratory rate, arterial oxygen saturation, arterial blood gases and intrapulmonary shunt) in the studied groups. No significant intergroup difference in any haemodynamic or respiratory variable was demonstrated.

  • Coagulation Effects of Mannitol in Combination with 0.9% Normal Saline Or Hydroxyethyl Starch in Patients Undergoing Supratentorial Craniotomy: a Preliminary Report
    Original Article Coagulation effects of mannitol in combination with 0.9% normal saline or hydroxyethyl starch in patients undergoing supratentorial craniotomy: A preliminary report Hemanshu Prabhakar, Gyaninder Pal Singh, Parmod Kumar Bithal, Mani Kalaivani1 Abstract Background: Neurosurgical patients often require administration of both, mannitol and hydroxyethyl starch (HES). A recent in vitro study demonstrated that HES in combination with mannitol could disturb coagulation parameters and should be avoided in neurosurgical practice. The aim of our study was to evaluate coagulation abnormalities due to mannitol when administered alone and in combination with HES in patients undergoing craniotomy for various intracranial brain tumours. Materials and Methods: We enrolled 30 adult patients undergoing craniotomy. Patients were randomised into two groups using a computer generated randomisation chart. Interventions: Group A: Patients received 10 ml/kg 0.9% normal saline and 1 g/kg mannitol and Group B: Patients received 10 ml/kg, HES 130/0.4, and 1 gm/kg mannitol; immediately after induction of general anaesthesia. Rotational thromboelastography was done immediately after induction of general anaesthesia and 5 min after administration of mannitol. Measured parameters of blood coagulation were clotting time (CT) and clot formation time (CFT) with EXTEM and maximum clot firmness (MCF) with EXTEM and (FIBTEM). Results: Fourteen patients in each group completed the study. Insignificant change was noted in CT; CFT altered significantly from the baseline in both the groups (P < 0.05). MCF with FIBTEM did not change significantly from baseline (P > 0.05), but significantly differed between groups (P = 0.001). However, all values were in normal range.

Justificativa e objetivos: É necessário proceder a relaxamento cerebral durante cirurgia intracraniana e a terapia hiperosmolar é uma das medidas para sua produção. Com frequência, pacientes neurocirúrgicos apresentam distúrbios de sódio. O objetivo deste trabalho foi quantifi- car e determinar o relaxamento cerebral e a duração das alterações hidroeletrólíticas decorrentes do uso do manitol versus solução isoncótica hipertônica (SIH) durante neurocirurgia. Método: Foram avaliados relaxamento cerebral e alterações hidroeletrolíticas de 29 pacientes adultos antes, 30 e 120 minutos após o término da infusão de carga aproximadamente equiosmolar de manitol 20% (250 mL) ou SIH (120 mL). Registraram-se volume de líquidos intravenosos infundidos e diurese. Considerou-se p < 0,05 como significativo. Resultados: Não houve diferença estatística significativa entre os dois grupos quanto ao relaxamento cerebral. Embora várias diferenças nos eletrólitos e no equilíbrio ácido-básico com o uso de manitol ou SIH tenham alcançado significância estatística, apenas a redução do sódio plasmático, 30 minutos após o uso do manitol, em média de 6,42 ± 0,40 mEq.L-1 e a elevação do cloro em média 5,41 ± 0,96 mEq.L-1 e 5,45 ± 1,45 mEq.L-1, 30 e 120 minutos, respectivamente, após a SIH deslocaram transitoriamente os níveis séricos desses íons da faixa de normalidade laboratorial.

Material and methods: Forty ASA I-II patients scheduled for elective neurosurgi- cal supratentorial procedures were randomly assigned to two groups. About 30 min before skull opening, patients received either HS-HES or M at infusion rate 750 ml/h. Dural tension score was used to evaluate the dural tension by neurosurgeons. Serum osmolality was tested at following time points: before, 125 ml infused, 250 ml infused, 30 min and 60 min after infusion. Hemodynamic variables were measured by FloTrac. Results: Patients who received HS-HES had a significant decrease in dural tension scores (P < 0.05) and obtained more satisfactory brain relax- ation for neurosurgeon (95% vs. 75%). In HS-HES group, the peak of serum osmolality occurred earlier and hyper- osmolality lasted for longer time. Transient decrease in mean arterial pressure was observed in M group at 10 min after the start infusion (P < 0.01).

This formulary was developed based on the recommendations of an independent Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) Committee comprised of doctors and pharmacists. This committee meets several times a year to review and select safe, clinically sound, cost-effective drugs for the formulary. Ongoing review of clinical literature is conducted to evaluate safety, effectiveness and current use in therapy to determine whether a drug should be included in the formulary.
