They concluded that HTK solution during CPB frequently causes hyponatremia, which is associated with postoperative seizure. We think their findings are timely and valuable, providing evidence to clinicians using HTK solution that central nervous system injury caused by HTK-induced hyponatremia is much more serious than previously supposed. Moreover, their investigation motivates us to reexamine whether HTK solution . . . [Full Text of this Article]
