In patients with sepsis, the infusion of hydroxyethyl starch, as compared with albumin, was associated with reduced release of circulating soluble adhesion molecules, suggesting a reduction in endothelial cell activation and injury. 54 This mechanism may partially account for a preservation of microvascular cross-sectional area that has been observed with hydroxyethyl starch solutions in experimental sepsis. 55 Hetastarch can cause dose-dependent decreases in factor VIII activity and prolongation of partial thromboplastin time (PTT).
