Surgery and Critical Care

The speed and simplicity of testing with an Advanced Instrument freezing point osmometer makes it a critical first step in the evaluation of cases presented to the emergency room, in monitoring response to IV therapy, and in monitoring the recovery from surgical procedures.

  • Hypovolemic/Hypervolemic Shock Prevention: Osmolality can be used to monitor perfusate during coronary bypass or renal surgery to avoid hypovolemic shock.
  • Electrolyte/Metabolite Imbalance: Osmolality offers rapid detection of post-surgery electrolyte/metabolite imbalance. In urologic surgery, the difference between calculated and measured osmolality can be used to estimate absorption of irrigation fluid.
  • IV Therapy: Osmolality can help monitor and manage IV therapy.
  • Liver Transplant: Large increases in osmolality can occur due to blood loss or transfusion, changes in plasma sodium levels, or the administration of sodium bicarbonate.
  • Glycine Uptake: Surgical procedures of long duration can cause the uptake of irrigation fluid that will contribute to an elevated osmolality.
  • Blood Bank: Osmolality is measured to ensure that glycerol has been completely removed from the frozen blood cells.
