Effects of different volume replacement solutions on electrolyte parameters during and subsequent to normovolemic hemodilution.

<p>Rats underwent normovolemic hemodilution to a final hematocrit of 10% for 162 min (phase of hemodilution: light grey) with either Gelafundin, Gelafusal, Geloplasma, Voluven or Volulyte and were subsequently observed for 150 min. Electrolytes were determined in arterial blood samples at the points indicated. * <0.05 compared with the value measured at 3 min, in the respective group. # <0.05 (Voluven vs. Volulyte) ** <0.05 (Gelafundin vs. Gelafusal).
