Does β2-adrenergic stimulation attenuate fluid extravasation during hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass?
In the present experimental study, we were unable to demonstrate any clinically relevant modulating effect of terbutaline on fluid extravasation during hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass.
The pH value of wound solution proves to be a reliable predictor for the subsequent presence of seroma formation. Furthermore, our findings implicate that seroma formation cannot be seen as persistent drainage liquid.
