Effects of Intravascular Volume Replacement on Lung and Kidney Function and Damage in Nonseptic Experimental Lung Injury

Background:Intravascular volume replacement is often required in the presence of increased pulmonary capillary leakage, for example in patients with volutrauma with major hemorrhage. In the present study, the effects of Ringer’s acetate (RA), gelatin-polysuccinate (GEL), and a modern hydroxyethyl st
