[Indications and contraindications for plasma substitutes in surgery]
Infusionstherapie Und Klinische Ernahrung
|April 1, 1978
Summary
Plasma substitute infusions are now limited due to severe incidents. Careful consideration of a plasma substitute's properties and potential anaphylactoid reactions is crucial before administration.
Area of Science:
- Anesthesiology
- Pharmacology
- Critical Care Medicine
Context:
- The use of plasma substitutes has been significantly restricted following serious adverse events.
- Clinical practice requires careful selection of plasma substitutes based on individual patient needs.
Purpose:
- To emphasize the critical need for differential-therapeutic deliberations before administering plasma substitutes.
- To highlight the importance of considering physico-chemical characteristics and clinical utility in plasma substitute selection.
Summary:
- Grave incidents have limited the indications for plasma substitute infusion.
- Therapeutic decisions must carefully weigh the physico-chemical properties and clinical value of each plasma substitute.
- Potential anaphylactoid reactions and their management are key considerations.
Impact:
- This approach aims to improve patient safety and optimize therapeutic outcomes when plasma substitutes are necessary.
- Enhanced clinical decision-making can mitigate risks associated with plasma substitute administration.
