Balanced crystalloid compared with balanced colloid solution using a goal-directed haemodynamic algorithm

Conclusions
Using a goal-directed haemodynamic algorithm to optimize stroke volume, a balanced HES solution is associated with better haemodynamic stability and reduced need for fresh-frozen plasma. There were no signs of renal impairment by colloid solutions when fluid administration is targeted to optimize cardiac preload.
