商品名：Dextran 70 and Gentran-70
Synthetic colloid used for volume expansion. Dextrans are glucose polymers and are available as low molecular weight (Dextran 40) and high molecular weight (Dextran 70). Dextran 70 is the most often used. The colloids such as dextrans are large- molecular-weight molecules that remain in the vasculature because of their large size. Therefore, they increase colloid osmotic pressure within the vasculature to prevent intravascular fluid loss and inhibit tissue edema. Other colloids used are hetastarch and pentastarch.
Dextran is a high-molecular-weight compound administered IV to maintain intravascular volume. It is used for acute treatment of hypovolemia and shock. Duration of effect is approximately 24 hours.
