This preparation is a plasma substitute. It contains modified fluid gelatin
which behaves in a similar way to natural plasma albumin.
It is used as a short-term measure to expand and maintain blood volume after
haemorrhage, acute injury or surgery, burns, serious infection, peritonitis.
It produces significant increases in blood volume, in heart output, blood
pressure, urine output and oxygen transport to the vital tissues. It protects
the kidneys by ensuring that an adequate blood flow is
maintained.
