Extract

Volume substitutes for restoring circulating blood volume are eminently important for emergency care. In addition to side effects, the intravascular volume effect immediately after infusion and the duration of this volume effect are determining factors for the selection of volume replacement solutions available on the market today. Therefore, we controlled the intravascular volume effect of 16 test solutions, immediately as well as 90 and 240 min after the end of infusion.
