Prior to this, it was used as a plasma expander.

We'll need plasma expander, and samples immediately for cross matching.

Circulatory support with plasma expanders is usually essential and may prevent the onset of shock.

Plasma expanders are substances that are used to increase the fluid component of blood.

All six tested positive for hydroxyethyl starch, a banned blood plasma expander.

'Let's have six units of whole blood cross-matched and run in some plasma expander in the meantime.

It is considered a plasma expander because it remains primarily intravascular after infusion.

Finland's Jari Isometsä finished second, but was disqualified for using of plasma expanders.

I pulled the plasma expander from his belt kit, a clear-plastic half-liter container shaped like a liquid soap bottle.

Other compounds, including epitestosterone, plasma expanders and secretion inhibitors, can be used to reduce the presence of banned substances in blood samples.

Other drugs were used as required (anticoagulant agents (usually intravenous heparin), vasodilators, digoxin, diamorphine, plasma expanders).

Those in need were given plasma expanders to replace lost blood, cloth-wrapped plastic bandages to cover sucking chest wounds, or morphine injections to ease the pain.

Besides low fibrinogen level, fibrin polymerization disorders that can be induced by several factors, including plasma expanders, can also lead to severe bleeding problems.

Whole blood TEM is sensitive to haemostasis affecting agents such as plasma expanders or acidosis while the effects of these agents are hardly identified by plasma based laboratory tests.

At the 2001 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Lahti, Kuitunen was disqualified when she tested positive for hydroxyethyl starch, a banned blood plasma expander.

In these emergency situations, a plasma expander is a more effective life-saving procedure than a blood transfusion, because the metabolism of transfused red blood cells does not restart immediately after a transfusion.

FIBTEM allows for the detection of fibrinogen deficiency or fibrin polymerization disorders, e.g. induced by certain plasma expanders, and may identify rapidly the need to substitute fibrinogen.

Principally, his research dealt with wound healing, peritonitis, and penicillin, nutritional and survival experiments following massive reactions of the intestines, vascular surgery, eosinophil counts and adrenocortical response and plasma expanders.

During the 2001 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Lahtis, he tested positive for use of the banned plasma expander Hemohes together with five fellow Finnish cross-country skiers.

He was best known for his doping role in the 2001 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships doping scandal that would affect five other Finnish skiers for taking hydroxyethyl starch (HES), a blood plasma expander.

After severe acute blood loss, liquid preparations, generically known as plasma expanders, can be given intravenously, either solutions of salts (NaCl, KCl, CaCl etc.) at physiological concentrations, or colloidal solutions, such as dextrans, human serum albumin, or fresh frozen plasma.

Isometsä was among the six Finnish skiers who were caught of doping in the Finnish 2001 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships scandal for taking hydroxyethyl starch (HES), a blood plasma expander usually used to cover up the use of erythropoietin (EPO) in athletes.

The substance is a plasma volume expander and is taken intravenously.

Hetastarch (hydroxyethyl) is a plasma volume expander derived from natural sources of starch.

Some other drugs, such as certain anticoagulants and plasma volume expanders remain under the control of CBER.

A year ago, six Finnish cross-country skiers, four men and two women, were banned from competition for two years for using a blood plasma volume expander.

Among the projects he worked on was a blood plasma substitute, of potential value to the military.)

An infusion of an all-purpose plasma substitute was helping to raise the patient's blood pressure.

A. Packaged plasma substitutes are sometimes used in emergencies to help restore fluids and ward off shock.

A blood plasma substitute may refer to:

Ideally, this is achieved by isovolemia exchange transfusion of a plasma substitute with a colloid osmotic pressure (OP).

PVP was initially used as a blood plasma substitute and later in a wide variety of applications in medicine, pharmacy, cosmetics and industrial production.

It also increases the flow of urine and can be used as a blood plasma substitute because it is sterile, pyrogen-free and does not destroy blood cells.

Linwood Franklin Tice, a pharmaceutical chemist who pioneered the development of special gelatins as a blood plasma substitute in World War II, died on Sunday at his home in Salem, N.J.
