Open Access Abstract Introduction Hydroxyethyl starch HES solutions are widely used for volume replacement therapy but are also known to compromise coagulation impair renal function and increase long-term mortality. To test the hypotheses that HES 130 has fewer adverse effects than HES 200 and exerts antiinflammatory properties we compared the effects of HES 130 HES 200 and saline on in vitro haemostasis and pro-inflammatory platelet function. Methods Whole blood samples from healthy volunteers were mixed with 6 HES 130 10 HES 200 or normal saline to achieve a final haemodilution rate of 10 or 40 . Haemostatic capacity was characterised by thromboelastography ROTEM and measurement for FXIIIa activity. Platelet activation and pro-inflammatory platelet functions were characterised by flow cytometry measuring the platelet activation marker CD62P and binding of fibrinogen to platelets as well as the formation of heterotypic plateletleukocyte .
