[Reversible hydrocolloids].

Abstract

Reversible Hydrocolloids impressions are the most simple, easy and reliable of all the available impression technics, when their indications are respected. The precision of this technic, although excellent, can not render this technic universal. The indications and limitations of this technic are directly related to the properties of the reversible hydrocolloids. Good clinical results will depend on: a very good gingival retraction technic (with enough space for the material) and the immediate casting of the impression; the knowledge of the intrinsic qualities and performances of the material during all the clinical steps, without trying to surpass or betray those qualities.

Fluid resuscitation with colloid or crystalloid solutions in critically ill patients: a systematic review of randomised trials.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect on mortality of rescuscitation with colloid solutions compared with resuscitation with crystalloids. DESIGN: Systematic review of randomised controlled trials of resuscitation with colloids compared with crystalloids for volume replacement of critically ill patients; analysis stratified according to patient type and quality of allocation concealment. SUBJECTS: 37 randomised controlled trials were eligible, of which 26 unconfounded trials compared colloids with crystalloids (n = 1622). (The 10 trials that compared colloid in hypertonic crystalloid with isotonic crystalloid (n = 1422) and one trial that compared colloid in isotonic crystalloid with hypertonic crystalloid (n = 38) are described in the longer version on our website www.bmj.com). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Mortality from all causes at end of follow up for each trial. RESULTS: Resuscitation with colloids was associated with an increased absolute risk of mortality of 4% (95% confidence interval 0% to 8%), or four extra deaths for every 100 patients resuscitated. The summary effect measure shifted towards increased mortality with colloids when only trials with adequate concealment of allocation were included. There was no evidence for differences in effect among patients with different types of injury that required fluid resuscitation. CONCLUSIONS: This systematic review does not support the continued use of colloids for volume replacement in critically ill patients.

Determination of the optimum mixing time for a mixture of lactose and colloidal silicon dioxide.

The homogeneity of a mixture of colloidal silicon dioxide (CSD) and lactose is examined by quantifying the dependence of the CSD content on the mixing time. CSD concentration is determined photometrically as a blue silica-molybdic complex. Its deviation from the expected content is taken to characterize the mixture quality and the optimum mixing time. The conformity of this result with the flow properties of the same mixture is studied by measuring the dependence of the angle of repose on the mixing time.
