Example sentences for: crystalloid

How can you use “crystalloid” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • During the study all patients breathed room air, and crystalloid was continuously infused at a rate of 2 ml/kg per hour, which was increased if necessary to offset a moderate reduction in systemic arterial pressure.

  • Largely inappropriate use of colloids was found in a survey of academic health centers despite guidelines from a US hospital consortium recommending that colloids be used in hemorrhagic shock only until blood products become available, and in nonhemorrhagic shock only if an initial infusion with crystalloid is insufficient [ 32 33 ] . A recent systematic review of randomized controlled trials comparing colloids and crystalloid solutions for volume replacement found that resuscitation with colloids in critically ill patients was actually associated with an increased risk of mortality [ 10 ] .

  • Colloids and crystalloid are equally effective in restoring tissue perfusion in patients with septic shock [ 31 ] . However, the choice of fluid has considerable cost implications: colloids cost more for volume replacement.

  • However, considering the different amounts of crystalloid infused in each group, we can indirectly deduce that fluid compensation contributed to the maintenance of stable values for mean systemic pressure when systemic vascular resistance decreased.
