Abstract
The type of i.v. fluid used does not influence endogenously occurring fibrinolytic activity in patients undergoing major orthopaedic surgery. However, during hyperfibrinolysis, the presence of HES or gelatin solution facilitates clot disintegration to a greater extent than Ringer's lactate solution, because the weaker clots formed with colloids dissolve faster.
