Geloplasmic balance is a 3% solution of succinated gelatin or modified liquid gelatin for intravenous administration with an average molecular weight of 45,000 Da. It has a colloidal pressure of 34 mm / b.
The isoelectric point is reached at pH 4.5.The negative charges that arise in the molecule as a result of succination lead to an increase in the molecule in size, and thus more voluminous protein chains are formed than non-succinic ones, while maintaining the molecular weight. As a result of Geloplasmas, the balance has a sufficient volemic effect within 3-4 hours.
Geloplasma balance replaces the lack of intravascular fluid caused by blood or plasmomotor. Thus, mean arterial pressure, ventricular diastolic pressure, cardiac systolic volume, cardiac index, oxygen delivery and diuresis is increased.
Increases the volume of circulating blood, which leads to an increase in venous return and a minute volume of circulation, an increase in blood pressure, and an improvement in the perfusion of peripheral tissues. Calling for osmotic diuresis, it ensures the maintenance of kidney function in shock. Reduces the viscosity of blood, improves microcirculation. Due to its colloid-osmotic properties it prevents or reduces the likelihood of developing interstitial edema.
