Colloids and Suspensions01:17

Colloids and Suspensions

3.9K
Children at play often make suspensions such as mixtures of mud and water, flour and water, or a suspension of solid pigments in water known as tempera paint. These suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures composed of relatively large particles visible to the naked eye or seen with a magnifying glass. They are cloudy, and the suspended particles settle out after mixing. The suspended particles in a suspension settle out after some time of mixing. The separation of particles from a suspension is...

Coagulation01:06

Coagulation

1.7K
Colloidal solids are solid particles suspended in solution. They are usually negatively charged, attracting a compact primary layer of positively charged ions, which attract more counterions to form an electrical double layer. Electrostatic repulsion between the charged double layers prevents the particles from colliding, stabilizing the colloids. These solids are often undesirable because they can contain toxins that are difficult to remove. Coagulation is a technique that helps aggregate and...

Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction who remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy may undergo a septal myectomy (Morrow procedure). This procedure involves excising a portion of the hypertrophied septum below the aortic valve using a heart-lung machine to improve blood flow through the LVOT. Effective preoperative and postoperative nursing management ensures successful patient outcomes, minimizes complications, and...

Children at play often make suspensions such as mixtures of mud and water, flour and water, or a suspension of solid pigments in water known as tempera paint. These suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures composed of relatively large particles that are visible to the naked eye or can be seen with a magnifying glass. They are cloudy, and the suspended particles settle out after mixing. On the other hand, a solution is a homogeneous mixture in which no settling occurs and in which the dissolved...

DialyzersA hemodialysis (HD) dialyzer is a plastic cartridge containing thousands of parallel hollow fibers, which serve as semipermeable membranes. These fibers are typically made from cellulose-based or other synthetic materials. During HD, blood is pumped into the top of the cartridge and distributed among these fibers. Simultaneously, dialysis fluid, known as dialysate, is introduced into the bottom of the cartridge, bathing the outside of the fibers. Across the semipermeable membrane,...

Summary

Colloids remain appropriate for acute volume resuscitation when used in balanced solutions. Careful consideration of side effects, contraindications, and dosage is essential for safe and effective patient care.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Colloids have been crucial for intravascular volume replacement for decades.
  • Recent trials (6S, CHEST) and regulatory recommendations (EMA, FDA) have raised questions about current colloid use.
  • Uncertainty exists regarding the clinical relevance and routine application of colloids.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize current evidence on colloid relevance in perioperative and interventional settings.
  • To provide guidance based on the German S3-guidelines for adult volume therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current evidence.
  • Analysis of German S3-guidelines for volume therapy.

Main Results:

  • Colloids are still appropriate for acute volume resuscitation.
  • Only balanced solutions of colloids should be administered.
  • Potential side effects, contraindications, and maximum daily dosage require careful consideration.

Conclusions:

  • Colloids are indicated in acute volume resuscitation.
  • Balanced solutions are recommended for colloid administration.
  • Adherence to safety guidelines regarding side effects, contraindications, and dosage is paramount.
