Summary of study findings

Bihari [44]

Restrictive fluid regime

75

3350 (2720, 4000)a,b (t = 24 h)

Syn; intra-operative, post-operative, t = 24 h

There was no significant intergroup difference in Syn at baseline or over time through Day 1–Day 3 post-surgery

Liberal fluid regime

86

6053 (5382, 7425)a,b (t = 24 h)

Liu [43]

High-volume fluid regime

16

–

Syn-1, HS, hyaluronan; pre-induction, post-induction, post-operative

Colloid administration and urine output were higher in the high-volume group; conversely, crystalloid administration was higher in the low-volume group. At the post-operative time point, Syn-1 and HS were higher in the high-volume group than medium- and low-volume groups

Tapking [46]

Total fluid administration

–

Syn-1, HS; t = 0 h, t = 8 h, t = 24 h, t = 48 h

Syn-1 was significantly associated with total fluid volume administered at t = 8 h after burn (p < .05). A significant linear effect was observed of burn size and cumulative fluid administration in first 24 h on Syn-1 at t = 48 h (p = .011)

Wang [40]

High-volume fluid regime

40

4191, 1425b (intra-operative)

Syn-1; t = 0 h, t = 1 h, t = 4 h, t = 24 h, t = 72 h

Syn-1 increased in both fluid regimen groups during surgery and declined postoperatively. No significant interaction between group and time for Syn-1

Low-volume fluid regime

39

3284, 1145b (intra-operative)

Nemme [41]

Rapid-rate fluid bolus

24

–

Syn-1, HS; t = 0 h, t = 0.5 h, t = 1 h, t = 1.5 h, t = 2 h

There was overall minimal variation in Syn-1 and HS following fluid bolus, suggesting insignificant glycocalyx shedding. Plasma Syn-1 and HS increased between t = 1.5 h and t = 2 h. Urinary Syn-1 decreased during surgery

Li [42]

Fluid loading

40

–

Syn-1, HS; pre-induction, t = 0.5 h, post-operative

Syn-1 levels increased significantly after fluid load compared to baseline, after correcting for hematocrit

HS levels (after hematocrit correction) showed no significant differences at any time point

Pouska [36]

Fast fluid bolus

25

–

PBR; baseline, t = 0 h, t = 20 min, t = 40 min, t = 1 h

There were no significant intergroup differences at any time point after fluid bolus. In the slow fluid bolus group, PBR increased after bolus at t = 0 h, then normalized

Belavić [39]

High-liberal fluid regime

30

5070 (4320–5775)a,b (t = 6 h)

Syn-1, hyaluronan; t = 0 h, t = 6 h, post-operative

Syn-1 and hyaluronan levels were significantly lower in the restrictive fluid regime group compared to the high-liberal fluid group (p < 0.001). There were no significant differences between the restrictive and low-liberal fluid groups

Low-liberal fluid regime

2370 (2190–2850)a,b (t = 6 h)

Restrictive fluid regime

1326, 50

Syn-1, HS, hyaluronan; t = 0 h, t = 0.5 h

Hyaluronan and Syn-1 increased significantly in the fluid loading group at t = 0.5 h, while remaining unchanged in the hemodilution group (p < 0.05). There was minimal variation in HS overall. All values were corrected for albumin

Fluid loading

Syn-1, HS; t = 0 h, post-bolus

Syn-1 and HS levels were both significantly increased following fluid loading (p < 0.05)

Berg [45]

Hyaluronan; t = −0.5 h, t = 0 h, t = 10–70 min in 10-min intervals

Plasma hyaluronan increased significantly post-fluid bolus at t = 30 m, t = 40 m, t = 50 m, t = 60 m and t = 70 m (p < 0.05)
