Journal: Journal of clinical anesthesia

PMID: 28183565

Abstract

STUDY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to de termine the minimum effective fluid volume (MEFV) of hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 (HES) infused in a preload fashion which would prevent hypotension in 50% of parturients undergoing caesarean section. A secondary objective was to measure the hemodynamic effect of fluid loading on the subjects.
