The increase in intravascular volume
provided by 250 ml of RescueFlow® has been found to
be two to three times the infused volume, similar to the
increase in volume resulting from intravenous administration
of three litres of crystalloid solution. Treatment benefits
have been observed for patients with severe injuries such
as penetrating injury requiring surgery and for patients
requiring intensive care.
RescueFlow® is a 250
ml solution containing 7.5% sodium chloride and 6% dextran
70. The new concept of Small Volume Resuscitation consists
of combining the rapid plasma volume effect of hypertonic
saline with a colloid's water-binding properties.
