Abstract
The use of albumin or hydroxyethyl starch as prime to preserve the colloid osmotic pressure during cardiopulmonary bypass causes a reduction in the cold-induced fluid extravasation compared with that seen with crystalloids. Albumin seems more effective than hydroxyethyl starch to limit cold-induced fluid shifts during cardiopulmonary bypass.
