Teacher:Given a passage classify if the passage has a definite objective/aim/goal or not. Output '1' if the passage has a defininte objective/aim/goal and output '0' if the passage does not have a definite objective/aim/goal.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: To compare two solutions for fluid resuscitation in post-coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery patients: Ringer's lactate (RL) versus a new solution containing half-molar sodium-lactate (HL).", 'Prospective randomized open label study.', 'The first 12 h post-CABG surgery in an intensive care unit (ICU).', 'There were 230 patients enrolled in the study: 208 were analyzed, with 109 from the HL group and 99 from the RL group.', 'Patients received over the first 12 h post-CABG 10 ml kg BW(-1) HL solution in the HL group versus 30 ml kg BW(-1) of RL solution in the RL group.', 'Hemodynamic status, body fluid balance and inotrope utilization were compared in the two groups. Post-operative cardiac index increase was significantly higher in HL than in RL (P = 0.02), while mean arterial pressure and other hemodynamic parameters were comparable together with urinary output, indicating similar tissue perfusion in both the groups despite a much lower fluid infusion in the HL group. Therefore, a significant negative fluid balance was achieved in the HL but not in the RL group (-790 +/- 71 vs. +43 +/- 115 mL 12 h(-1), P < 0.0001 for HL and RL, respectively). None of the enrolled patients exhibited side effects related to the treatment.
