Utility of 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 in oral cancer surgeries with a duration of over 6 hours: A retrospective case-control study.

[ 14 ] As we limited our investigation to oral cancer surgeries that lasted > 6 hours, there was more blood loss than that reported by Salma et al [ 2 ] While the H130 group tended to have more blood loss (845.8 ± 842.3 mL) than the control group (477.2 ± 388.7 mL), this did not reach statistical significance; furthermore, 6% HES130/0.4 administration did not lead to a significant decrease in the Hb or hematocrit levels and an increase of blood transfusion.
