In hemorrhagic shock, we are dealing with absolute hypovolemia, meaning there is a true loss of circulating blood volume. Therefore, the primary target of our fluid resuscitation is the intravascular compartment. In this context, colloids can play a role as part of a multimodal resuscitation strategy, alongside crystalloids and blood products. However, their use must be carefully balanced with an awareness of potential complications. We must consider the coagulopathic side effects of colloids, especially in patients already at risk of bleeding, as well as the potential for f...2025-04-0800 min
IFA Talks1st IFAD 2011 - 008 - SYBILLE KOZEK LANGENECKERMy name is Sybille Kozek, and I’m an anesthetist from Vienna, Austria. One of my main areas of interest is the potential side effects of colloids and crystalloids, particularly in relation to dilutional coagulopathy and their impact on clinical outcomes such as blood loss and transfusion requirements. In my lecture, I focused on why fluid choice truly matters—not just in terms of the type of colloid, but also the timing and dosing of its administration. I presented evidence highlighting the clear clinical advantages of using 6% iso-oncotic tetrastarch compared to gelatin, emphasizing its superiority based on the data curr...2025-04-0800 min
