“…The difference may be explained by the selection of lower weight and younger patients in our study. Bhat et al revealed that COP in critically ill preterm infants with hyaline membrane disease was 11.5 ± 1.2 mm Hg, which is similar to our study. Another study found that patients’ peri‐bypass COP was consistently lower than 15 mm Hg.…”

“…4 In newborn babies, a significant linear correlation between COP and total protein in cord blood has been described by Kero et al, 17 and even in sick neonates, COP is correlated with total protein during the first days of life, as reported by Bhat et al 18 In one previous investigation in newborn babies with RDS, we have described a significant positive correlation between COP, total protein and hypotension. 19 Based on all above, we can suppose that in our population protein levels reflected plasma volemia, and the decreased oncotic pressure could have impaired maintenance of intravascular volume and adequate blood flow to vital organs.…”

“…We attribute these findings to the significant differences in colloid osmotic pressure over the course of the study (6). In the HES group, COP increased because the hydroxyethyl starch solution is hyperoncotic for young pigs as it is for infants with lower protein levels and an altered ratio of extracellular fluid volume to total body water compared with adults (7–9). Therefore, isooncotic synthetic colloid solutions for adults are hyperoncotic for infants (10) and the observed haemodilution in the HES group may be due to plasma volume expansion caused by transcapillary fluid shifts from the interstitial space into the intravascular space.…”
