THE fact that the colloid osmotic pressures exerted by the body fluids of marine animals arrange themselves in the order of their phylogenetic development 1, suggested that there exists a definite ...

Fluid replacement therapy (intravenous infusion of fluid) attempts to reverse the effects of hypovolaemia by increasing circulatory blood volume and blood pressure back towards normal, in order to ...

Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) solutions are the most widely used synthetic colloid volume replacement fluids around the world (1). These infusion solutions contain the osmotically active colloid ...

A colloidal solution is a uniform dispersion of two different types of components—particles or droplets of one phase, the solute, in a second (typically liquid) phase, the solvent. Milk, a colloid of ...

Intravenous fluid therapy is one way of managing reduced fluid intake by reducing its effects and replacing lost fluids. Recognising the signs and symptoms of fluid loss is necessary to identify the ...

A colloidal solution is a uniform dispersion of two completely different types of components—particles or droplets of one phase, called the solute, in a second, typically liquid, phase, called the ...
