Plasmanate
Another Name
Plasma Protein Fraction
Plasma Protein Fraction
Another Name
Plasmanate
Plasma Protein Fraction (Plasmanate)
Description
Protein containing colloid that remains in the intravascular compartment. It in creases intravascular volume by attracting water from other fluid compartments by virtue of its colloid osmotic pressure
Plasma Protein Fraction (Plasmanate)
Indication
Hypovolemic shock, especially burn shock, hypoproteinemia (low protein states)
Plasma Protein Fraction (Plasmanate)
Class
Natural Colloid
Dextran
Class
Artificial Colloid
Dextran
Description
Sugar containing colloid used as an intravascular volume expander. It remains in the intravascular compartment for approximately 12 hrs. Increases intravascular volume by attracting water from other fluid compartments by virtue of its colloid osmotic pressure
Dextran
Indications
Hypovolemic Shock
Hetastrach
Another Name
Hespan

Another Name
Hetastrach
Hetastrach (Hespan)
Class
Artificial Colloid
Hetastrach (Hespan)
Description
Starch containing colloid used as an intravascular volume expander. Following administration the plasma volume is expanded slightly in excess of the volume of hetastarch administered. This effect has been observed for up to 24-36 hrs. Increases intravascular volume by virtue of its colloid osmotic pressure.
Hetastarch (Hespan)
Indications
Hypovolemic shock, especially burn shock, septic shock
